Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. While some narcissistic traits are common in the general population, people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) exhibit these traits to an extreme degree that causes significant impairment in their personal, social, and occupational functioning.
There is no cure for NPD, but therapy can help people with the disorder manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. If you are concerned that you or someone you know may have NPD, it is important to seek professional help.
