Narcissistic Personality Disorder This disorder is rare. Less than 1% of the general population are actually diagnosed with NPD Men are about 70% more likely than women to have this disorder. Although many adolescents may seem to have traits they are not diagnosed until they are adults. They do not take criticism well and are easily offended which will cause them to feel humiliated or anger. They pursue mainly selfish goals and will take advantage of others in order to achieve it and have little ability to feel empathy. Feel that where ever they go they must get treated almost like royalty for no reason. Get constant attention or admiration from the people around them. Exaggerate achievements and talents. The exact cause is unknown. Probable causes: Excessive pampering High expectation Parental disdain for fears and needs during childhood Neglect and emotional abuse Unpredictable or unreliable care giving from parents Learning manipulative behaviors from parents Parents who teach that vulnerability is unacceptable may grow up not being able to feel empathy towards others. There is no actual cure for this disorder but there are some things that might help. Talk therapy may help the patient understand others feelings in a positive and compassionate way. For patients with severe NPD are normally hospitalized and will be treated with individual psychotherapy and group therapy. The outcome depends on how severe the disorder is. But there are things that may complicate the treatment: Alcohol Drugs Relationships Work Family problems However if the patient is experiencing depression, anxiety, or other similar symptoms they can get treated with medication. Now that you know the type of behavior that patients with NPD show, does that mean that they will Always have bad thoughts or do evil things?
