Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Definition

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Individuals with NPD often have an inflated sense of self-importance, an excessive preoccupation with fantasies of power and success, and a strong sense of entitlement.
