Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a pervasive and chronic mental health condition known for an inflated sense of self-importance, simply meaning that they believe that they are more important than others. A need for praise and admiration from others often drives their behaviors.
Those living with narcissistic personality disorder often lack empathy, which makes it challenging to develop and maintain healthy relationships. Additionally, there’s often a tendency to struggle with criticism, which can contribute to relationship difficulties. Individuals living with narcissistic personality disorder may appear confident to others, but they commonly struggle with insecurity, which drives their NPD symptoms.
The cause of narcissistic personality disorder is not fully understood, but it is believed to be linked to environmental, factors, genetics, and social factors. Those who grow up in a home that shows adoration that does not match a child’s abilities accurately can contribute to the development of this mental health disorder.
Early experiences with trauma and abuse can also increase a person’s risk of developing a narcissistic personality disorder. Individual traits, like being sensitive to stress, are believed to increase a person’s risk for NPD. Studies have also indicated that there is a neurobiology component, more specifically the connection between your brain and subsequent behaviors and thoughts.
Healthcare facilities offering narcissistic personality disorder treatment can help you learn to recognize the effect that your behaviors have on those around you. This can help you resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen your interpersonal relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is commonly used to address unhealthy thoughts and beliefs and address core insecurities.
If you’re living with an NPD diagnosis, you can utilize services in an inpatient treatment center or an outpatient treatment center. This is based on the severity of your symptoms. Recovery centers may provide family or couples counseling to address narcissistic traits in relationships and to work towards improving the status of your relationships. With the use of psychotherapy, you can receive personal support while implementing healthy coping skills for underlying factors contributing to your narcissism.

Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms can affect various aspects of life including work, schooling, relationships, and finances. It is an individualized condition which means that the symptoms you experience, and their severity, can differ from others. Recognizing the signs and symptoms can help you understand the complexity of this condition. Common symptoms of NPD include:
Narcissistic behavior patterns can vary from person to person, and fall within different subtypes. While these subtypes have not been identified in the commonly used diagnostic manual, they have been outlined by Dr. Ramani Durvasula. The key difference between these types is the variations in the traits that are present and the effect they have.
More often than not, when we think about someone who is living with narcissistic personality disorder, we are usually thinking of this type. Someone living with grandiosity in narcissism may be described as arrogant, superficial, and charming. They believe they are better than others, and have a strong focus on gaining more power and success.
Covert narcissism often comes with low self-esteem passive-aggressive behaviors, and sensitivity to criticism. They may initially appear shy or reserved, but they can be resentful. They may feel victimized when they do not receive the praise or recognition that they believe they deserve.
Malignant narcissistic personality disorder combines antisocial, aggressive, and paranoid traits. These individuals can be very charming in addition to manipulative. Not only do they push limits, they often abuse the power that they have. This can be within their career, or various relationships. The severity of these traits can be harmful to those around them.
Those living with communal narcissistic personality disorder generally believe their morals are at a higher standard than others. They often engage in volunteer work and other good deeds to receive praise and validation from others. These public displays are often highlighted on social media, where they can then receive the feedback they need from others.
This type of narcissistic personality disorder causes individuals to be neglectful in their relationships. They often avoid interacting with others unless it directly benefits them. This is a form of narcissistic manipulation and is not a characteristic of healthy relationships.
Benign narcissism may be perceived as child-like behaviors. These individuals do show a lack of empathy and grandiosity; however, this is perceived as clueless and clumsy. Others may find that they are shallow and immature. Compared to other types of narcissism, this type may be significantly less harmful to others.
While entitlement is a behavior that we see more often, it is not always tied to NPD. Those living with entitled narcissism typically believe that they deserve preferential treatment compared to others, and become distressed when they do not receive it. Their dissatisfaction from not having their expectations met tends to contribute to the challenges they experience in interpersonal relationships.

Mental health treatment centers can combine this approach with other therapies to enhance their effectiveness.
Schema-focused therapy may be available to treat NPD in a medical treatment center. This therapeutic approach focuses on exploring early life experiences that may have been a contributing factor to the development of narcissistic personality disorder symptoms. Schema-focused therapy can address deeply ingrained thought patterns or schemas. This can help you develop healthier coping skills and address unhealthy behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used therapeutic approaches that can address distorted thought processes that contribute to behaviors considered narcissistic traits or symptoms. CBT can help you learn to identify and modify unhealthy thoughts with the use of cognitive restructuring and other behavioral interventions.
Psychodynamic therapy is primarily focused on exploring your unconscious thoughts and previous experiences and understanding narcissistic personality disorder causes. With a more profound understanding of these two aspects of your mental health, you can develop a better understanding of your narcissistic behavior patterns and focus on improving healthier interpersonal skills.

MBCT can help you gain awareness of your thoughts and emotions as they arise so that you can then actively work to improve your emotional reactions and automatic negative thoughts. This can help decrease the intensity and severity of your NPD symptoms.
Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) focuses on the relationship between you and your therapist, allowing you to explore the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. With the use of transference, you can improve your understanding of unhealthy behavior patterns and take steps to modify them.
