Narcissistic personality disorder and how can it be treated

Narcissistic personality disorder is a serious mental health condition that is often diagnosed late. NPD is not a personality flaw, it needs to be understood and treated with empathy.

Not only insecurity complex but they don’t accept that they have problems!

[ddlyhamid]

But they think they can give a therapy session to the therapist... And unwilling to absorb the fact that they r facing this disorder

Please make a video on ADULT ADHD
I never knew I had it, I have had it since childhood, it it describes every single aspect of my life - everything.
And I got diagnosed at the age of 27.
And even most of the Psychiatrists do not understand ADULT ADHD and think that it is only a children's disorder and you grow out of it, even I was misdiagnosed with depression because of common symptoms.
Spread some awareness about it.

Narcissism is a required social survival quality or you will be a ‘door mat’! However if this becomes a disorder, you will become an ‘obsessive repulsive’ person not many would want to associate with. Such people may reach many social heights but they would have few true friends and any physical or psychological damage occurs, they will be sent to a deep depression that can result in suicide! Treatment is difficult as many personality disorders! Deep meditation guided by a Guru can be a possibility!

Wear some appropriate cloths atleast while speaking about serious issues

Correction: psychotherapists don't prescribe medication. Psychiatrists do.

I was in a 5 month relationship with my ex gf and totally 7 months i knew her. She abused me mentally adn emotionally during those times but i got attached to her more and more because after every fight she will say she wont repeat again and act innocent. One day i got angry and she totally deleted me from her life. She is my classmate and she acts like i never exist. I tried to reach out to her Many times but she acts vitcim and cries, even i didnt do anything just i go beside her snd and say hi or start s conversation. Then she uses others to gain support. Now i started having mindset of calling her out or exposing her to others, it is very negative and harmful for myself as it is affecting my mental health and day to day life

I don't know where you completed your psychology major but narcissist, psychopaths can't be treated.

[ianki]

I truly respect contents of Tina Mam especially when she covers Northeast. However I personally believe your attires are not relevant to this show I'm convinced that you are independent to do so but I believe you need to inculcate more professionalism

[rushikesh]

Is it necessary to host in these small peices of clothes which distracts minds
Request to change it we students are here to study

[appsups]

Shabby content.
It's a serious disorder but they you make it sound like common cold and over simplified is very damaging.

Nothing will happen with NPD .Just run for your life

Even though the video comes from a place of good intentions, it unwittingly does a gross disservice by glossing over several important and relevant facts.

1- One may choose not to call Personality Disorders a "personality flaw" in a bid to avoid stigmatisation, but it is definitely a dysfunctional manifestation in personality significant enough to have its own diagnostic category. The kind of damage it does to so many people around is not insignificant. Whether one chooses to call it a "flaw" or not is entirely semantics. Genetics and early life trauma may explain its roots, but definitely does not excuse it.

2- Personality by definition is relatively enduring and unchanging. The peripheral aspects of it may change, but the core aspects remain. These core issues manifest as outward dysfunctional behaviour. Long term therapy can help in reining in the worst manifestations of it but there is nowhere close to any significant change to the essential core of the person.

3- Depression, anxiety, substance use, impulsivity, anti-social behaviour are associated features that may lessen with counselling and pharmaceutical drugs, but only in a very small subset and that too needing years of genuine attempts by the person with the personality disorder and an extremely patient and talented therapist. Most therapists would steer away from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Anti-Social Personality Disorder .

4- A key feature of Narcissistic Personality disorder is an inability to admit personal flaws, feel the need for change or acknowledge mistakes. Such admissions are as distressing as being naked in the middle of the street. Without years of psychological support, there is no genuine acceptance of the patient that something in them needs to change. Even arriving at that insight is a big achievement. Making genuine effort and staying consistent with years of therapy to achieve some significant improvement in the dysfunction is like that big achievement x 10.

5- Not acknowledging the emotional damage that people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder do to friends, family, co-workers almost amounts to enabling such toxic behaviour. Though all personality disorders exist in a spectrum and the degree of dysfunction and scope for improvement varies, NPD is a challenge for both, persons interacting socially and persons treating or supporting.

Its ok to be non judgemental in the spirit of "hate the sin and not the sinner", but this short video does not go far enough to give a complete picture. NPD in a sense has more victims than the person afflicted with it. Informing people around how to detect and avoid and deal with manipulation and abuse by a person with NPD should be an important public health measure.
