Sara and I have decided to research Personalities Disorders. There are many different type of disorders, therefor we have decided to research Narcissism in depth. This disorder is more common in men and affects 1 to 2 percent of the population. Since the 1970's there has been an increase of self esteem. As time has gone on and years have passed, social media has helped this become more prevalent due to self promotion.
According to the Mayo Clinic, one must have severe symptoms that disrupt social and work life for it to be diagnosed as a disorder. This diagnosis is usually left for adults due to the fact that children usually have self centered attitudes, which is a normal part of development. The most common type of treatment for this is Psycho Therapy since it takes a more verbal approach.
