Narcissistic Personality Disorder
- Narcissistic Personality Inventory is a list of 40 questions to see how narcissistic someone is
- NPD happens more in males than females
Symptoms
- Often upset others and struggle in relationships
- Put themselves first and thinks they are always right
- Always talks and thinks only about themselves
- Need attention and admiration
- Exaggerate their talents and achievements
- Think they are special
- Have intense mood swings
- Don’t think about other people’s feelings
- Love success, money, and power a little bit too much
- Will do whatever it takes to ‘win’
Causes
- Genes
- Environment (parental relationships, or lack thereof)
- Neurobiology (how their brain is wired)
- NPD can happen in children who are excessively pampered
- It can also happen in children who are ignored or abused
- (Maybe a combination of both)
- People can act narcissistic without having NPD
Treatments
Treatment
- There is no cure (ouch)
- but psychotherapy can help :)
- Keep an open mind
- Focus on how treatment can help
- Seek health for any other (mental) health problems
- Listen to your doctor and show up to every appointment
Heredity and Video
- It is generally accepted that genes play a role in someone developing NPD, but how much of a role it plays is up for debate
- It is a combo of genes and environment
