Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a complex mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Treatment typically involves long-term psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and schema therapy, aiming to help individuals develop healthier self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. In cases where NPD co-occurs with other conditions like substance use disorders, integrated treatment approaches are essential . While there is no specific medication for NPD, medications may be prescribed to address symptoms of co-existing mental health issues such as depression or anxiety .
