The article from the Times of India discusses Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. It outlines several signs and traits of NPD, including grandiose behavior, fantasies about power, success, or attractiveness, a belief in being unique or special, a sense of entitlement, and often exploiting others to achieve personal goals. People with NPD might also exhibit arrogance, envy, or believe others are envious of them. The article explains that while everyone can display some narcissistic traits, NPD is diagnosed when these behaviors significantly impair personal, social, and professional relationships. It also touches on the potential causes, like genetics or neurobiology, and suggests that treatment typically involves long-term psychotherapy, with a focus on building empathy and understanding the impact of one's behavior on others.
