In this episode, we explore a common question from listeners: Is narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) nature or nurture? The episode delves into recent research suggesting differences in brain structure for individuals with NPD and also antisocial personality disorder. 
We will also look at recent medical research on the biological, neuropsychiatric, and even genetic aspects of NPD. Structural and functional brain imaging reveal differences in brain regions for individuals with NPD, particularly in areas controlling emotional empathy and self-esteem, so is NPD nature or nurture?
