Narcissists we love: Partners, parents and the pain
"Narcissism at home is often modelled by the parent."
Our kids pick up on our emotional responses and interactions with other people, which, in turn, shape our children's mental health and personality traits.
But how serious a problem is narcissism? And is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) the same thing?
Our expert guest this week is psychiatrist Dr. Gagu Matsebula. With his many years of experience in mental health treatment, he explains how the spectrum of narcissism works.
