What you guys just witnessed is called "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" and it affects around 1% (estimation) of people in Canada. He's a part of that 1%..... and it's more commonly men.The symptoms of this disorder include constantly looking for attention and praise, difficulty acknowledging other people's feelings and needs, taking advantage of others, arrogant attitudes, self-centeredness, self-importance, exaggerating achievements and talents, and needing validation.
Neurobiological Correlates: Recent studies link structural and functional brain differences to NPD, hinting at underlying neurological factors (Ritter et al., 2020).Impact of Social Media: Social media's rise may fuel narcissistic traits, amplifying the need for attention and validation (Twenge Campbell, 2018).Cultural Influences: Societal values emphasizing individualism and materialism may correlate with higher rates of narcissism (Foster et al., 2021).Treatment Approaches: Schema therapy and transference-focused psychotherapy show promise in addressing core issues associated with NPD (Bamelis et al., 2020).Comorbidity and Treatment Challenges: NPD often coexists with other mental health conditions, complicating diagnosis and treatment (Miller et al., 2018).
