A person you love and care about has been diagnosed as a psychopath.
A person you know, love and care about has been diagnosed as a psychopath. Be it your grandparents, parents, siblings, family relatives, spouse, children or a dear friend.
How would you feel?
Keep in mind that a psychopath is different from a sociopath. Sociopaths can still feel emotion and even empathy. Sociopaths tend to be nervous and easily agitated. They are volatile and prone to emotional outbursts, including fits of rage.
They are likely to be uneducated and live on the fringes of society, unable to hold down a steady job or stay in one place for very long. It is difficult but not impossible for sociopaths to form attachments with others.
Many sociopaths are able to form an attachment to a particular individual or group, although they have no regard for society in general or its rules. In the eyes of others, sociopaths will appear to be very disturbed.
Psychopaths, on the other hand, are unable to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy with others, although they often have disarming or even charming personalities.
Psychopaths are very manipulative and can easily gain people’s trust. They learn to mimic emotions, despite their inability to actually feel them, and will appear normal to unsuspecting people. Psychopaths are often well educated and hold steady jobs.
Some are so good at manipulation and mimicry that they have families and other long-term relationships without those around them ever suspecting their true nature.
Also be advised that even though psychopaths are the most dangerous of all the antisocial personality disorders, this does not make them killers. It just makes it easier for them to kill.
Psychopathy is related to a physiological defect that results in the underdevelopment of the part of the brain responsible for impulse control and emotions. Sociopathy, on the other hand, is more likely the product of childhood trauma and physical/emotional abuse.
