Webinar: Is It Self-Esteem or Self-Importance? Exploring Narcissistic Personality Disorder (For CME Credits)

There’s no question that healthy self-esteem serves us well. It helps us navigate everything from our personal growth to our relationships and careers. And while exaggerated self-esteem can lead to interpersonal and other challenges, even such inflation tends not to indicate psychiatric illness. However, when someone develops an excessive and pervasive sense of self-importance, becomes extremely preoccupied with themselves, and shows a lack of empathy for others, they might very well be struggling with a mental health condition known as narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD.

So how can one tell the difference between healthy self-esteem, occasional narcissism, and NPD? When should professional help be sought? And what does effective treatment look like?
