Objective: The purpose of this research paper/poster/book is to establish increased awareness of psychiatric health problems which are present in the modern culture and people are unacquainted with them due to illiteracy, inexperience, and lack of information. Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD is one of the leading problems touching generations and families. Many people have Narcissistic Traits, so it is difficult to acknowledge the underlying issue.

Methods: Around 52 human studies mainly from the last 10 years were collected using PubMed and Google Scholar using different keywords and a precise approach.

Introduction: A detailed account of NPD, its background, causes, and statistics is given to better understand the existing psychiatric health issue.

Discussion: The article discusses NPD and its relationship to changes in the brain and behaviour. Lack of empathy is the hallmark of this disease. Intimate Partner Violence, IPV, which results from NPD in partners, can be disastrous for families. More research is required in the field. A study is being done on the role of Virtual Reality in enhancing compassion or empathy in people suffering from psychiatric disorders who lack empathy. Lately, the University of Barcelona has designed VR (Virtual Reality) equipment by which men who committed a domestic violence offence can get into the sufferer's shoes. The analysis disclosed that these violent people have a reduced emotional perception than normal, and familiarity with Virtual Reality improved their awareness of their emotions.

Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a strong correlation between NPD, IPV, and abnormal human behavior in relationships.
