My mother has NPD (from what I can see), she is currently taking lithium. Personnally for her, I see it as a defence mechanism to ward off depression. She has had a lot of traumatic things that happen to her.
Personnaly I think that after an extremely traumatic event, people can go two ways, develop NPD, or blame themselves. I think that psychotherapy for depression might even prompt the NPD style of thinking.
Just random ideas
