There probably is, but its symptoms are very much intermingled with those of ADHD and a whole slew of mental conditions.
Reading the article, I recognized a collapse in myself after a lost a deeply-valued job in a horribly-unfair way. I was fired after a new sysadmin pulled drives from a still-active storage array, after I told them to pull drives from the shut down array. The reason given was that I didn't write a change request, when there was no change control system in place.
I met some of the conditions in the article, but none of the abusive-towards-others ones - I didn't accuse my then-wife of being responsible, I didn't gaslight or lash out verbally. I withdrew into myself and became deeply depressed and anxious.
Back on topic after too much personal sharing, I think everyone has aspects of NPD, just as everyone is on a scale of other personality traits. The more we understand these scales and spectrums, the better we'll be able to deal with negative events, I feel.
