Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people
have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for
admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that
they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's
feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-
esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of
personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which
people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially
distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships
and in other areas of their life, such as work or school.

Although the cause of narcissistic personality disorder isn't known,
researchers continue to learn more about the factors that may increase
the risk of developing the condition. In the past, experts believed
excessive praise, admiration and indulgence from parents may lead to a
pathologically inflated sense of self. Today, however, psychiatrists
believe parental neglect is more likely responsible.
