A big problem is that most therapists have no experience with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, as it's quite rare, but at the same time, conventional talk therapy actually exacerbates the disorder. So unless a person seeks out treatment for NPD specifically, they're unlikely to get better and in fact will likely get more stuck.
And it's a catch-22, because nobody will seek out an expert for a diagnosis they haven't received.
