Research has shown a strong relationship between an individual with narcissistic behaviors and having a parent with similar tendencies. Other "causes" may be related to a dysfunctional childhood such as excessive indulgence, abuse or neglect. Genetics play a role as well as connections in the brain, and, the personality we are born with. NPD usually begins to make its appearance in early adulthood.

∙ 14y agoPersonality disorders are usually caused by trauma, usually some sort of abusive family background. This makes personality disorders harder to treat than mood disorders, which respond to medication. You can't inherit or pass on a personality disorder, but I would question the wisdom of even thinking of having a relationship with someone who has a personality disorder.
