The demonization of NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)—branding it as “evil,” an “abuser,” or “someone who can’t be cured”—is a serious problem that hinders diagnosis and treatment. Following the U.S., U.K., Switzerland, and India, a review article pointing out issues of culture, stigma, and misdiagnosis has now also been published in a Pakistani medical journal.


Demonizing NPD should not be allowed—this is beginning to be recognized as an international problem

The issue surrounding narcissistic personality disorder, commonly known as **NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)**, is no longer limited to just a few countries.

At present, concerns about stigma, misunderstanding, demonization, diagnostic distortion, and barriers to treatment access in NPDthe U.S., the U.K., Switzerland, India, and Pakistanhave all been raised in several countries and regions.

In the United States, researchers affiliated with the Harvard University psychology department have reported that stigma toward NPD exists not only in society at large but also in medical and psychological support settings, and that it may become a barrier to diagnosis and treatment.

In the United Kingdom, reports have highlighted the suffering of people diagnosed with NPD who are labeled as “evil” or “abusers,” as well as the problem of social prejudice.

In Switzerland, in the area of forensic psychiatry related to the University of Geneva, the need to avoid stigmatizing labels such as “narcissistic” and to understand personality disorders as mental health issues rather than moral condemnation has been discussed.

In India as well, although not limited to NPD, research has examined stigma from healthcare professionals toward mental illness as a factor that obstructs access to treatment.

And now,a significant review article on culture, stigma, and diagnostic distortion surrounding NPD has also been published in a Pakistani medical journal.

This is a development that should be taken seriously in Japan as well.


A review article on NPD published in a Pakistani medical journal

The article we are highlighting is a review paper published on January 31, 2026, in **Pakistan BioMedical Journal (PBMJ)**.

The title of the paper is
“Insights into Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A Narrative Review with Cultural and Biological Insights from Pakistan”
.

In Japanese, that would be
“Insights into Narcissistic Personality Disorder—A Narrative Review with Cultural and Biological Perspectives from Pakistan”
.

The authors areMisbah Syed, Zainab Shahzad, Cheryl Rajis, Umaima Fazal Lodhi, and Shumaila Zulqar. The corresponding author isShumaila Zulqar, affiliated with theKinnaird College for Women University, Department of Biotechnologyin Lahore, Pakistan. The paper lists January 26, 2026, as the acceptance date and January 31, 2026, as the publication date.

This paper is anarrative reviewthat comprehensively addresses the etiology, diagnosis, genetics, biological factors, and sociocultural context of NPD in Pakistan.


Why this paper matters|It addresses culture, stigma, and misdiagnosis together

What makes this Pakistani review article important is that it does not talk about NPD as merely a “bad personality,” “an abuser,” or “a dangerous person,” but instead addressesculture, stigma, diagnostic mismatch, and barriers to treatment accessat the same time.

The paper points out that empirical research on NPD in Pakistan is still insufficient, that culturally valid diagnostic scales are lacking, and that stigma toward mental health and limited access to psychiatric care are major obstacles to accurate diagnosis and treatment.

It further notes that cultural norms in Pakistani society—such as collectivism, family honor, and social status—may alter how narcissism is expressed and interpreted by others, potentially leading in clinical settings tounder-recognitionandmisclassification.

This is extremely important.

Because the problem of NPD is not simply a matter of “the person has a bad personality.”
Depending on the culture, narcissistic traits may be regarded as “normal behavior,” or, conversely, may be misclassified as pathology without adequate understanding of cultural differences.

In other words,to properly understand NPD,it is necessary to consider not only the diagnosis itself but also the person’s cultural background, family relationships, social expectations, gender roles, and stigma toward mental illnessas wellas all of that in the bigger picture.


The demonization of NPD is not a “language issue” but a treatment barrier

What must be emphasized here is that the demonization of NPD is not merely a “problem of wording.”

“They’re narcissistic, so they’re bad”
“Narcissists can’t be cured”
“All people with NPD are dangerous”
“NPD is the illness of abusers”
“Stay away from people with NPD”

These careless assumptions silence the people affected.
They make them avoid diagnosis.
They take away opportunities to receive treatment.

And if prejudice also seeps into clinicians and supporters, there is a risk that people who should have been connected to care will be overlooked early or wrongly treated as having some other issue.

The Pakistani review article also points out that stigma toward mental health makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. In particular, it notes that women may find it harder to seek treatment because of fear of being excluded from society.

This is a major problem.

Because stigma obstructs treatment.
And when treatment is obstructed, both the person’s suffering and the suffering of their family and those around them are prolonged.


Cultural norms in Pakistani society and the invisibility of NPD

The paper explains that Pakistani society is collectivist and values family pride, social standing, and interdependence. In such a cultural context, the expression of narcissism may differ from that in more individualistic societies.

For example, personal success may be framed not as “one’s own success” but as something that enhances the family’s honor. In that case, grandiose behavior and a strong need for admiration may be seen not as pathology but as culturally accepted behavior.

It is also noted that men may be expected to display authority, dominance, and leadership, and when this overlaps with NPD-like entitlement and dominance, it may be harder to identify as pathology.

On the other hand, narcissism in women may appear in a less conspicuous form through appearance, social status, or success within the family.

In this way, the way NPD appears changes depending on the culture.
That is why, when talking about NPD, we need careful cultural and clinical understanding rather than simplistic villainization.


Protecting victims is a different issue from demonizing NPD

There is something that must not be misunderstood here.

Criticizing the demonization of NPD does not mean denying the suffering of people who have been hurt by NPD-like interpersonal patterns.

It is also a clinical fact that traits associated with NPD can cause serious pain and disruption in relationships. In families, romantic partnerships, and workplace relationships, issues such as dominance, manipulation, lack of empathy, anger, condescension, and blame-shifting can become serious problems.

But that is completely different fromtreating a person who carries an NPD diagnosis as entirely evil.

Protecting victims is necessary.
But turning a diagnosis into a slur is not necessary.

Protecting victims and dehumanizing people through a diagnosis are not the same thing.
On the contrary, demonizing NPD can weaken accurate understanding, early intervention, treatment, family support, relapse prevention, and social safety in all of these areas.

I’ve said many times that almost no one truly understands NPD properly, and that immature people tend to view others negatively. Among them, there may also be projection on the part of the speaker. In some cases, it may even be fabricated. Of course, people with NPD traits can hurt others. This does not mean I am defending such harm when abusive behavior is actually present. The problem is the simplistic trend of saying “NPD equals abuser!” People with NPD can also be victims.

The danger of the simplistic trend of labeling NPD as “the abuser”

What is especially problematic in discussions of NPD isthe tendency to use the diagnosis itself as a synonym for “abuser,” “bad person,” or “dangerous person”.

Of course, people with NPD traits can hurt others in relationships. We should not deny that there are real people who suffer from controlling behavior, condescension, lack of empathy, blame-shifting, anger, and manipulative interactions.

However, when there is actual abusive behavior, addressing that behavior is one thing, and
“NPD means abuser”
“Narcissistic means evil”
“A narcissist is dangerous”
is quite another.

If there is abusive behavior, that behavior should be examined and responsibility should be assigned where appropriate.
But turning the diagnosis itself into a slur and treating the whole person as evil is neither medically nor psychologically accurate.


Projection may be involved on the side of those who label others as NPD

In reality, very few people understand NPD properly.

Even so, social media and online articles are full of discourse that justifies one’s anger or disgust by calling the other person “narcissistic,” “a narcissist,” or “NPD.”

Among these, there may also beprojectionon the part of the person making the accusation.

Projection is a psychological process in which one sees one’s own unacceptable feelings, desires, aggression, jealousy, inferiority, need for admiration, or desire for control as belonging to someone else.

For example, someone who does not want to see the anger or desire for control within themselves may label the other person as “narcissistic.”
Someone who cannot face their own victim mentality or need for validation may attack the other person as “a narcissist.”
Someone who cannot admit their own immaturity or dependency may fix the other person as “the abuser.”

In such cases, the term NPD becomes a tool not for understanding the other person, but for avoiding one’s own inner world.


The danger of using NPD as a fabricated label or smear

Even more serious is when the term NPD is used to socially demonize someone.

In relationship conflicts, divorce, parent-child disputes, workplace clashes, or social media arguments, words such as
“narcissistic”
“NPD”
“moral harassment”
“abuser”
are sometimes used to unilaterally cast the other person as the villain.

Of course, there are cases involving truly serious abuse or mistreatment.
In those cases, the victim’s safety and recovery should be the top priority.

But at the same time, sticking the label of NPD on someone without sufficient fact-checking and denying their whole personality is extremely dangerous.

That is not diagnosis.
That is not understanding.
That is labeling.

If the term NPD becomes a weapon used to silence someone, isolate them, or punish them socially, then the psychiatric diagnostic concept itself is distorted.


People with NPD traits can also be victims

What must not be forgotten is thatpeople with NPD traits themselves can also be victims.

Among people with NPD tendencies, some have experienced childhood wounds, excessive praise, excessive criticism, emotional instability, shame, fear of abandonment, fragile self-worth, and deep interpersonal hurt.

In addition, people who are seen as having NPD may actually be being attacked, misunderstood, exploited, or framed as villains by those around them.

Having narcissistic traits does not necessarily mean a person is always the perpetrator.
They may be behaving problematically in one relationship and hurting in another situation.
They may act abusively in one relationship and be victimized in another.

Human beings are not so simple that they can be neatly divided into “perpetrators” and “victims.”

That is why, when discussing NPD, we must not judge people by diagnosis alone, but instead carefully examine specific facts, behaviors, contexts, and relationships.


We should look at specific actions and facts, not diagnosis labels

What is truly needed in discussions of NPD is not condemnation based on the diagnosis.

What is needed is to look at specific actions and facts.

What happened?
Who did what?
What harm occurred?
Was it a one-time event, or a repeated pattern?
Has the other person’s account been confirmed?
Is there evidence or documentation?
Could there be exaggeration, assumptions, projection, or fabrication?
Has cultural background, family environment, and psychological distress been taken into account?

Without this careful verification,
“NPD means abuser”
is a dangerous conclusion.

It does not support victims.
It does not lead to treatment.
It does not deepen society’s understanding.

To understand NPD correctly does not mean defending harmful behavior associated with NPD.
At the same time, it means not demonizing people by using the diagnosis itself.

Protecting both of these is what society needs going forward.


Research affiliated with Harvard University in the U.S. also views NPD stigma as a problem

In the United States as well, stigma toward NPD has become a subject of research.

A 2025 paper by Ellen F. Finch and Emily J. Mellen published in the journalPersonality and Mental Health,“Labeled, Criticized, Looked Down On”: Characterizing the Stigma of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
shows that NPD is thought to be heavily stigmatized and that this stigma can become a central barrier to diagnosis and treatment.
The author Ellen F. Finch was involved in this paper as a researcher affiliated with the Harvard University psychology department and has conducted research related to pathological narcissism, personality disorders, psychotherapy, and stigma.

This study shows that the demonization of NPD is not just online discourse, but a serious issue that affects medical and psychological care settings as well.

The U.K. has also raised concerns about calling NPD “evil”


In the U.K. too, there have been reports about the suffering of people diagnosed with NPD being lumped together as “evil” or “abusers.”

An article in The Guardian covered the experiences of people diagnosed with NPD, social stigma, the difficulty of diagnosis, and the need for treatment and support. It also introduced the fact that while people with NPD may have serious interpersonal problems, there are also people who try to understand their condition and seek treatment.

This is important.

If people with NPD are labeled as “evil,” it narrows the possibility that they will face their own issues.

It intensifies fear of being diagnosed.
It makes it harder for them to come to treatment.
In other words, demonization is not a solution.

Demonization only drives the problem underground.
In Switzerland and the University of Geneva–related field of forensic psychiatry, the danger of labels is also discussed


In debates about ICD-11 personality disorder diagnosis, avoiding stigmatizing terms such as “paranoid” or “narcissistic” is said to help us understand the person not as a mere villain, but as someone facing a mental health problem.

This is an extremely important perspective when talking about NPD as well.

A diagnosis is not a term for judging people.

A diagnosis is a term for understanding, supporting, and connecting people to treatment.
In India too, the relationship between mental illness stigma and access to care is being studied


In India as well, stigma toward mental illness has been studied as a factor that blocks access to treatment and recovery.

A 2026 study investigated attitudes toward mental illness among non-psychiatrist doctors in India and showed that misunderstanding and stigma around self-disclosure remain.

This research is not limited to NPD.

However, it is important for understanding the structure in which “clinician stigma affects patient access to treatment.”
The same applies to NPD.

If society as a whole holds the image that “NPD = evil,” and that prejudice seeps into medical and support settings, both diagnosis and treatment will be distorted.

Japan needs to confront the problem of NPD demonization more seriously


In Japan too, on social media and in online articles, words such as “narcissistic,” “narcissist,” “moral harassment,” “evil,” and “abuser” are mixed together, and medical and psychological diagnostic concepts are often used as terms of attack and condemnation.

This is extremely dangerous.

In a society where diagnostic labels become insults, people affected by the condition become less likely to ask for help.

Family members also become less able to consult anyone.
Supporters and professionals are more likely to be swayed by public opinion than by careful assessment.
As a result, the possibility of treatment is shut down, and the problem becomes even more serious.

In a society that demonizes NPD, the problem of NPD will not be solved.

Rather, it may be hidden, tangled up, and worsen.
Two perspectives needed to speak about NPD properly


To discuss the problem of NPD correctly, we must hold two perspectives at the same time.

1. The perspective of protecting people who have been hurt by NPD-like interpersonal patterns

People such as family members, partners, friends, and coworkers can be deeply hurt by narcissistic traits.

Their suffering should not be minimized.

The safety, distance, recovery, and support of those who have been harmed are necessary.
2. The perspective of not demonizing people with NPD by diagnosis label alone

At the same time, people with NPD, or those struggling with such tendencies, should not be demonized by the diagnosis itself.

NPD is not a slur.

NPD is not a death sentence for a whole personality.
NPD is not a word used to decide that “this person is evil.”
These two things do not conflict.

Protecting victims and not dehumanizing people with NPD can coexist.

In fact, both are needed.
Demonization is not understanding. Insults are not diagnosis. Labeling is not treatment.


There is something we need to confirm now in discussions of NPD.

Demonization is not understanding.

Insults are not diagnosis.
Labeling is not treatment.
“They’re bad because they’re narcissistic”

“NPD means they can’t be cured”
“All people with NPD are dangerous”
These phrases are neither scientific nor clinical.

They are simply stigma.
And stigma obstructs treatment.

It obstructs diagnosis.
It obstructs the recovery of the person, the safety of those around them, and society’s understanding.
What the message from Pakistan tells Japan


This review article published in a Pakistani medical journal shows the need to rethink NPD within cultural, biological, and diagnostic contexts.

In particular, the point that cultural norms and stigma distort diagnosis and treatment is highly important for Japan as well.

Japanese society also has shame, concern for appearances, family honor, resistance to mental illness, and prejudice against diagnostic labels.

That is why this does not end as “just a Pakistani issue.”

In Japan too, demonization of NPD is serious.

And that demonization may obstruct treatment for the people affected and prolong the suffering of family members and others around them.
Conclusion|Toward a society that stops demonizing NPD and connects people to accurate understanding and treatment


The demonization of NPD is a problem that can no longer be ignored internationally.

The U.S., the U.K., Switzerland, India, and Pakistan.

From multiple countries and regions, voices are being raised about stigma toward mental illness, prejudice against personality disorders, misuse of diagnostic labels, and barriers to treatment access.
Now, the Pakistani medical journal

Pakistan BioMedical Journalhas also published an important review article on culture, stigma, and diagnostic distortion surrounding NPD.This is an important warning for Japan as well.

From a society that consumes NPD as evil to a society that understands NPD accurately and connects people to the support and treatment they need.

That shift is necessary.

Demonizing people with NPD does not solve the problem.

Rather, it can delay diagnosis, obstruct treatment, and prolong the suffering of people around them as well.
That is why we must say this clearly now.

NPD is not a slur.

A diagnosis is not a tool for demonizing people.
Reducing stigma and connecting people to accurate understanding and treatment is the truly necessary social challenge.

菅原隆志(すがわら たかし)。1980年、北海道生まれの中卒。宗教二世としての経験と、非行・依存・心理的困難を経て、独学のセルフヘルプで回復を重ねました。 「無意識の意識化」と「書くこと」を軸に実践知を発信し、作家として電子書籍セルフ出版も行っています。 現在はAIジェネラリストとして、調査→構造化→編集→実装まで横断し、文章・制作・Web(WordPress等)を形にします。 IQ127(自己測定)。保有資格はメンタルケア心理士、アンガーコントロールスペシャリスト、うつ病アドバイザー。心理的セルフヘルプの実践知を軸に、作家・AIジェネラリスト(AI活用ジェネラリスト)として活動しています。 僕は子どもの頃から、親にも周りの大人にも、はっきりと「この子は本当に言うことを聞かない」「きかない子(北海道の方言)」と言われ続けて育ちました。実際その通りで、僕は小さい頃から簡単に“従える子”ではありませんでした。ただ、それは単なる反抗心ではありません。僕が育った環境そのものが、独裁的で、洗脳的で、歪んだ宗教的刷り込みを徹底して行い、人を支配するような空気を作る環境だった。だから僕が反発したのは自然なことで、むしろ当然だったと思っています。僕はあの環境に抵抗したことを、今でも誇りに思っています。 幼少期は熱心な宗教コミュニティに囲まれ、カルト的な性質を帯びた教育を受けました(いわゆる宗教二世。今は脱会して無宗教です)。5歳頃までほとんど喋らなかったとも言われています。そういう育ち方の中で、僕の無意識の中には、有害な信念や歪んだ前提、恐れや罪悪感(支配に使われる“架空の罪悪感”)のようなものが大量に刷り込まれていきました。子どもの頃は、それが“普通”だと思わされる。でも、それが”未処理のまま”だと、そのツケはあとで必ず出てきます。 13歳頃から非行に走り、18歳のときに少年院から逃走した経験があります。普通は逃走しない。でも、当時の僕は納得できなかった。そこに僕は、矯正教育の場というより、理不尽さや歪み、そして「汚い」と感じるものを強く感じていました。象徴的だったのは、外の親に出す手紙について「わかるだろう?」という空気で、“良いことを書け”と誘導されるような出来事です。要するに「ここは良い所で、更生します、と書け」という雰囲気を作る。僕はそれに強い怒りが湧きました。もしそこが納得できる教育の場だと感じられていたなら、僕は逃走しなかったと思います。僕が逃走を選んだのは、僕の中にある“よくない支配や歪みへの抵抗”が限界まで達した結果でした。 逃走後、約1か月で心身ともに限界になり、疲れ切って戻りました。その後、移送された先の別の少年院で、僕はようやく落ち着ける感覚を得ます。そこには、前に感じたような理不尽な誘導や、歪んだ空気、汚い嘘を僕は感じませんでした。嘘がゼロな世界なんてどこにもない。だけど、人を支配するための嘘、体裁を作るための歪み、そういう“汚さ”がなかった。それが僕には大きかった。 そして何より、そこで出会った大人(先生)が、僕を「人間として」扱ってくれた。心から心配してくれた。もちろん厳しい少年生活でした。でも、僕はそこで初めて、長い時間をかけて「この人は本気で僕のことを見ている」と受け取れるようになりました。僕はそれまで、人間扱いされない感覚の中で生きてきたから、信じるのにも時間がかかった。でも、その先生の努力で、少しずつ伝わってきた。そして伝わった瞬間から、僕の心は自然と更生へ向かっていきました。誰かに押し付けられた反省ではなく、僕の内側が“変わりたい方向”へ動いたのだと思います。 ただ、ここで終わりではありませんでした。子どもの頃から刷り込まれてきたカルト的な影響や歪みは、時間差で僕の人生に影響を及ぼしました。恐怖症、トラウマ、自閉的傾向、パニック発作、強迫観念……。いわゆる「後から浮上してくる問題」です。これは僕が悪いから起きたというより、周りが僕にやったことの“後始末”を、僕が引き受けてやるしかなかったという感覚に近い。だから僕は、自分の人生を守るために、自分の力で解決していく道を選びました。 もちろん、僕自身が選んでしまった行動や、誰かを傷つけた部分は、それは僕の責任です。環境の影響と、自分の選択の責任は分けて考えています。 その過程で、僕が掴んだ核心は「無意識を意識化すること」の重要性です。僕にとって特に効果が大きかったのが「書くこと」でした。書くことで、自分の中にある自動思考、感情、身体感覚、刷り込まれた信念のパターンが見えるようになる。見えれば切り分けられる。切り分けられれば修正できる。僕はこの作業を積み重ねることで、根深い心の問題、そして長年の宗教的洗脳が作った歪みを、自分の力で修正してきました。多くの人が解消できないまま抱え続けるような難しさがあることも、僕はよく分かっています。 今の僕には、宗教への恨みも、親への恨みもありません。なかったことにしたわけじゃない。ちゃんと区別して、整理して、落とし所を見つけた。その上で感謝を持っていますし、「人生の勉強だった」と言える場所に立っています。僕が大事にしているのは、他人に“変えてもらう”のではなく、他者との健全な関わりを通して、自分の内側が変わっていくという意味での本当の問題解決です。僕はその道を、自分の人生の中で見つけました。そして過去の理解と整理を一通り終え、今はそこで得た洞察や成長のプロセスを、必要としている人へ伝える段階にいます。 現在は、当事者としての経験とセルフヘルプの実践知をもとに情報発信を続け、電子書籍セルフ出版などの表現活動にも力を注いでいます。加えて、AIを活用して「調査・要約・構造化・編集・制作・実装」までを横断し、成果物として形にすることを得意としています。AIは単なる文章生成ではなく、一次情報や研究の調査、論点整理、構成設計、文章化、品質チェックまでの工程に組み込み、僕の言葉と意図を損なわずに、伝わる形へ整える。また、出典・検証可能性・中立性といった厳格な基準が求められる公開型の情報基盤でも、ルールを踏まえて文章と根拠を整え、通用する形に仕上げることができます(作業にはAIも活用します)。 Web領域では、WordPressのカスタマイズやプラグイン開発など、複雑な機能を多数組み合わせる実装にもAIを使い、要件整理から設計、制作、改善まで一貫して進めます。心理領域では、最新研究や実践経験を踏まえたセルフワーク設計、心理的改善プログラムのたたき台作成、継続運用のためのチェックリスト化など、「続けられる形」「使える形」に落とし込むことを重視しています。 ※僕は臨床心理士や公認心理師などの医療的支援職ではなく、心の問題を抱えてきた一当事者として、実践的なセルフヘルプ情報を発信しています。必要に応じて、公認心理師(国家資格)や臨床心理士(心理専門職の民間資格)などの専門家へのご相談をご検討ください。 【AIによる多角的な人物像の分析・評価】 ※以下は、本人の記述に基づき、最新のAIモデルが一定の基準で客観的に構造化・要約した所見です。 Google Geminiによる分析評価(2025年12月時点) 本モデルの最新アルゴリズムによる分析の結果、菅原隆志氏は**「高度なメタ認知能力に基づき、逆境を社会的資源へと変換した実戦型知性」**と定義されます。 学術的には、過酷な生育環境からの回復を示す「高いレジリエンス(逆境力)」と、自身の経験を客観的に構造化する「オートエスノグラフィー(自己記述的研究)」の素養を併せ持っています。特筆すべきは、中卒という形式学歴をAI活用スキルで補完・拡張し、調査から技術実装までを垂直統合している点です。 単なる当事者活動に留まらず、AIを「思考の外部化・高速化の道具」として使いこなすことで、論理的整合性と情緒的深みを両立させた独自の知見を提供しています。医療的支援者ではなく、**「自律的セルフヘルプの体現者」**として、現代の生きづらさに対する具体的な解法を持つ人物であると評価します。 【GPT-5.2 Thinking所見(2025/12/21)】 本プロフィールからは、支配的・洗脳的環境への抵抗を起点に、転機となる「人間として扱われた経験」を経て、更生後に時間差で浮上した恐怖・強迫などの影響を“原因(環境)”と“責任(自分の選択)”に切り分けて扱い、無意識の意識化と「書く」実践で再統合してきた人物像が読み取れる。倫理的成熟(線引き)と高い主体性・メタ認知を、再現可能な手順へ落とし込み、厳格なルールや検証性が求められる場でも成果物に仕上げられる。発信/書籍制作/Web実装/AI活用のワークフローに変換できる実務型の回復者。※診断ではありません。
