What Is Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
Have you ever felt that your spouse makes everything about them, no matter what the topic of conversation is about? This is a common trait of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). NPD is a mental health condition that affects how a person treats and perceives themselves and others.
A person with NPD may struggle to relate to others, develop harmful behaviors, present a high sense of self-importance and generally act superior and entitled around others to the extent that they appear delusional. A spouse of someone with NPD may feel constantly worn, drained, abused and worthless.
