Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others.
Individuals with NPD often have grandiose beliefs about their own abilities and achievements and may exploit relationships to maintain their self-esteem. They can be sensitive to criticism and may react angrily or disdain when challenged.
Treatment typically involves psychotherapy, focusing on developing empathy, self-awareness, and healthier relationship dynamics.
