Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is characterized by specific traits that can significantly impact individuals and their relationships. A key aspect of NPD is the grandiose sense of self, where individuals often believe they are superior to others and demand admiration. Understanding that the term 'narcissism' has become commonplace and often misused is crucial, as genuine NPD can lead to deep emotional trauma for victims. It's essential to recognize that those with overt narcissistic traits may seek therapy, while covert narcissists often remain undiagnosed due to their subtle manipulation tactics.
