It turns out that trauma and abuse will change the cell structure and neural pathway in the brain. The development of key parts of the brain is not carried out in a healthy way when it should be normal. For patients with narcissistic mental illness, such things happened before birth, and they were born.

In recent years, we can "see" the phenomenon of narcissism in the brain from MRI and CT imaging. There are structural abnormalities in areas of people with narcissism personality disorder (NPD). Researchers have found that people with NPD can understand the point of another person in a pure intelligence (rational) way, but it is difficult to feel the emotion of another person. This may be the most decisive characteristic of the many defects of NPD patients.

What is the root cause of the brain? Depending on the situation. For NPD patients, theoretically, the early childhood trauma damaged the brain and hindered normal development. It turns out that trauma and abuse will change the cell structure and neural pathway in the brain. The development of key parts of the brain is not carried out in a healthy way when it should be normal. For patients with narcissistic mental illness, such things happened before birth, and they were born.

When children suffer from abuse (abusers are usually narcissistic), some key brain areas will be affected, including damage to the front brain island, frontal leaf cortex, hippocampus, almond nucleus and cerebral cortex. These changes have caused devastating effects. When these children grow up, they will continue to abuse their partners and children.

Qianbrain Island -the left -front brain island area of ​​the brain is considered to be related to cognitive function and emotional regulation, and it is also related to sympathy and empathy. It plays a key role in subjective feelings. Emotional subjectivity is defined as "consciousness and reflection on our emotional reactions, and the development of self -reflection and emotional coordination." This is never felt by NPD patients. They have less gray quality in the brain's area.

In addition, the front brain island is connected to the secondary area of ​​the prefrontal cortex, which is considered to be the most critical neurological substrate in the internal feelings and emotional consciousness, and this is unable to own the narcissists.

Ear -ear cortex -the frontal leaf cortex (PFC) may play an important role in narcissistic disorders and mental illness with similar characteristics. PFC's inner and front buckle zone is used to control and regulate some social and emotional decision -making functions. These functions seem to be destroyed among Class B narcissist, anti -social and mental patients.

Haima -hippocampus is important for the development of learning and memory. Patients with NPD suffer from isolation disorders and cannot evaluate real memories. In their eyes, the past experiences are manifested as magical thinking, illusion, and exaggeration. These forced them to rewrite history, create their own narratives on the past, and filter out through selective amnesia and refusing to accept the accusations they do. Bad memory.

The continuous pressure caused by abuse will damage the cells of the hippocampus and gradually shrink. This explains how the narcissists initially produced, and also explained how victims are usually affected.

Almond core -it plays a key role in emotional treatment. It is the birthplace of fears, guilt, jealousy and shame. The emotions of narcissism are usually bland, which means that most of their emotions are not expressed or inappropriate. Patients with personality disorders lack some conscience, and when you look at their eyes, you will find that they have a bland feeling. The inappropriate response of this visual or language may be caused by schizophrenia, autism, narcissistic personality disorder, depression and traumatic brain injury.

NPD patients usually do not feel fear or guilt, and these feelings are missing on them. They felt these emotions at a young age, but when they silently silent, these emotions were not only suppressed, but also except for their roots.

The cerebral cortex -the cerebral cortex forms the external nerve cell layer of the brain. Those who have dilebal personality disorders have abnormalities in the key areas of brain treatment and creation of sympathy. In a study published in "Journal of Psychiatric Research", researchers have shown that the cerebral cortex of NPD patients has become unusually thin.

They also concluded that the loss of empathy of NPD patients matched the thin degree of the abnormal cerebral cortex area. In addition, the author published in the magazine published in "PLOS ONE" believes that narcissism is related to increasing increasing activities in the cerebral cortex. The increase in this activity decreases the control of the rush, thereby increasing the possibility of making bad decisions.

Study the use of a method called proliferation and imaging to measure brain activity. This method can measure the number of connection activities between different areas of the brain. People with higher narcissial scores, some areas of the brain (including the prefrontal cortex and the side of the abdominal tattoo) are less connected. These areas are related to their ability to actively look at their own abilities, so the low activity of these areas may promote the repeated internal obsessive needs of the NPD people, that is, seeking affirmation and worship (fuel) from others. This is consistent with the theory that these people are arrogant and separated from the true self. Via: Tuyuan Internet

Some new studies are ongoing to prove that NPD is a biological and neurological disease of the brain. A study led by the University of Chicago Medical Psychiatric and personality disorder Royce Lee has found that NPD is characterized by the surge in oxidation in the blood. Research on functional nerve imaging also shows that (patients with NPD) have low activity in certain areas of the brain. There are many similar examples that show the severity of this disease.

Researchers said that narcissism may be the core of mental illness. They have many overlapping characteristics and exist in the same type B mental illness entry in the diagnostic classification manual (DSM). Patients with mental illness are usually manifested as: real interpersonal relationships cannot be established; limited emotional treatment and lack of anxiety and remorse; impulsive behavior style, including failed to consider the behavior of the expected behavior and inhibit or control improper behaviors in advance.

These characteristics are psychological obstacles affected by various factors, including chemical imbalances in the brain, childhood experience, genetic, disease, prenatal exposure, and apparent genetic.

The victims of the narcissistic abuse, with their help, terrible stories, tragic consequences, and real pain to the public stage. The narcissism is demonized, and the embodiment of evil is regarded as an incarnation of degeneration and darkness on the Internet. I know these because I used to be one of those who were hurt, trauma, addiction, torture, and even destroyed. If I do not provide another view, then I will lose their jobs.

A person with a narcissistic personality is a mental illness, a victim of brain injury, and cannot become a healthy person.

It is easy for people to slander them and seek revenge for the damage they made. They are like the power of nature, leaving death and destruction on their road. But they cannot be helped, and they are beyond rationality and beyond human rules. They live in another reality, just like many split personality types with common characteristics. They are incredible to surpass your ability, because they are forced to act in the only way they can do from the heart.

When we accept the real condition of these people, we must ask ourselves how we fall in love with them and finally combine them with them, and share this relationship together.

They can't do better, better, and live better. They have nervous, psychological, mental, energy and physiological obstacles that make them unable to love or be loved.

For all those who love them, do not feel that they cannot live, believe that they are their own soul partners, and those who cannot leave or stay away from them, you must remember this. This disease is essentially a sin, unfairness, and unfairness. The cruel, unacceptable, ruthless, and hopeless. The longer we persist in something unreal, the more fragile we will become. The only peace or rational decision you can make is to let them leave.

Try to find out what makes you into this situation, turn into this kind of person, then cheer up, concentrate your strength, focus on yourself, maybe one day, the sun will shine again. It is an illusion that they live in a glorious world forever. They live in the darkness and never find light.

Save yourself, this is the only thing you can do.
