Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).. What is it?

Narcissistic Personality Disorder, otherwise known as NPD is a personality disorder characterized by grandiosity. We may see it in people who have inflated self-esteem with little regard for others. It is important to note that NPD is a psychiatric condition and is more complex than simply being arrogant. The condition causes much distress to the people with it and to the people around them. In this video, we hope to shed some light on the condition, and signs that a person should seek help.
