Hopefully this …“MedCircle“…doesn’t develop the wrong way round 😈🤷🏼♀️👿😳
Nah, shove it
You make zero sense child
As someone who is moderately autistic and highly introverted, I have been accused of being a psychopath several times. I am deeply sensitive and empathetic, but have never felt comfortable expressing much emotion to people I do not know. Combined with my eccentricity and socio-political contrarianism, this has often led to me being boxed as the outcast, the mad guy, the freak, etc.
I would suggest seeking the help of a medical professional to help you navigate your situation
@@Art-is-craft No, thanks.
I'm in the same boat (ASD). I've been empathetic and caring my entire life, but the rest of society constantly outcasts and abuses me.
I myself am broken from all the harassment, and physical assault. I know these people are my enemies, and I don't feel safe around them at all.
There's a saying, "If you treat someone like a monster, they will become one." This feels true in my current state of life.
I thought it was the other way around, that psychopaths was born that way (without empathy) and sociopaths was "made" by a lacking untrustworthy unsafe abusive upbringing? 🤔
nope, old concept
@@PoliticalSci Okay? What have changed and how? 🙂
Yepgot
@@boohman1431 Many personality disorders, like Cluster B's, are formed as a result of biological, psychological and sociological factors.
Yes the opposite was stated in another video made by MedCircle / Dr Romani. Confusing
This my now Exiting husband. Two looney parents that abused him & his siblings and he was spoiled.
He is EVERY behavior described. Cruel to animals, molested his younger sister, a kleptomaniac, he HAS tried to kill me- From starting a fight & hiding in the garage with a gun, to contaminate my food with nut powder because I’m anaphylactic allergic. I left him & he stalked me. Flew to my new state & tried to kill me there. Yet He STILL has his job for the NAVY / DOD -on North Island - he’s a Materials Engineer with a high security clearance & THE NAVY protects him
Why in the world did you ever marry someone like this - knowing he molested his younger sister???
Thanks for all of that information. We will get right on this.
I hope you can stay safe or he finds a new interest as equally damaged to match him… and leaves you alone.
He is not a phycho cuz people forget that humans are not human and do things that are bad and they know it while for phychos can't control it
My husband worked for DOD & prolly knows him. Yes, my husband is a Brain with No empathy also, it’s scary actually. It’s like I can visually see him check out to “someone else”… personality shifting. He can’t mask it as well as he used too. But now he left me, so I am waiting divorce papers.
Keep your distance!
Sending love and support to anyone learning to navigate through these difficult issues! Keep going and find support. You got this!
Thanks
When you are young and know something is wrong, is one thing. To sit back and analyze the abuse, in addition to, the other dysfunction that has been allowed to occur for decades, is another.
what camera is yall using? that quality is what i need for my streams
The brains of my mom and dad are the brains we need to be studying.
They got committed
after the foolish decision to have you😢
This is your mother by the way Kim.
Blaming your parents is not the answer. An adult will take responsibility for their life and not blame their parents.
Very informative. The latest edition of the DSM describe the symptoms and the variety of traits, such psychopathy with religious beliefs and fanaticism.
Not even close to be true.
So cool, thankx
Thank you very much!!
Thanks!
Heaps of people have had traumatic or abusive childhoods, and they don't become psychopaths. Psychopaths are mostly born this way, not made.
There's levels to trauma and a factor with dark triad is having no support system alongside the trauma
@@sofya6553 There's levels to everything, and there are people that have experienced trauma, had no support, and didn't become psychopathic, so you cannot simply blame environmental factors.
I know it's unsettling for a lot of people to think about, but the truth is that there are people who are born with an uncaring mind. They lack a conscience, empathy and all the other traits required to be humane. They're still human, but they're inhumane.
For a person with empathy, it's difficult to understand how someone doesn't feel bad about the bad things they do, but it's simply how their brain is wired, and genetics plays a significant role in that.
Right which is why I say a factor, as we know genes get triggered in different directions according to life events, it happens in every condition that there are multiple factors, otherwise illnesses would just run straight through bloodlines
@@sofya6553 The interactions between genes and environment shape human development, but it is the inherent genetic factors which have more of an influence on the development of psychopathy. There are people who were brought up in stable homes, and still turned out psychopathic.
Otherwise, there would be much more than 1% of the general population that are psychopaths considering that a much higher percentage of people come from abusive and traumatic backgrounds.
_"Subtle differences in one person's genes can cause them to respond differently to the same environmental exposure as another person. As a result, some people may develop a disease after being exposed to something in the environment while others may not."_
_"Many health conditions run in families. Your genes contain the information your body uses to control how you grow, develop and function. A genetic condition can be passed down through your family, increasing the risk of family members developing a condition."_
U born to lie , cheat , pride , fornicate , etc ...what say you ?!
I think it's both nature & nurture. I will also say that certain cultures seem to create a high number of psychopaths which to me proves that nurture plays a big part.
One of James Fallon’s (neuroscientist) talks on psychopathy showed a chart on this. It showed that the population of China had the highest frequency per capita of “warrior genes”, the term given to genes thought to be responsible for genetic anti-social traits. The figure on the chart for China was almost double the frequency of the next runner up, being Polynesian Islanders. I wonder if that’s due to selective cultural pressures over China’s long history of isolation from the outside world.
@@user-qy3jq9kr1dthat’s interesting . I would have thought Japanese are like that . They have low crime rates over there
Always a pleasure to learn from Dr. Judy Ho. 💜☀️🙌🏻😌
I love Ho's!
She mixed it up she said sociopaths born and psychopaths made and then switched it
have you heard of mistakes
Where can I take this test
Here it says that psychopaths struggle in society. Long term relationships, work etc. Yet I've also heard that psychopaths actually do very well in society as they are able to blend, manipulate mimic and generally have a good sense of control over their emotions very well. So which is it? 😅
They are not exclusive; one can be emotionally unavailable at a personal level, not wanting to love or be loved or care that much for others, and at a professional level be engaging, forceful and charismatic, pretending to be what is expected and getting ahead at work.
Can they have a long relationship when they also see other people eithet sectetly or bringing someone into thier relationship (;which is a way to control and manipulate the other parties, especially the third person.)
My ex wife who went to get a BPD diagnosis but told the PHD she was single so they wouldn’t want to ask me about her traits because she actually has ASPD. With a psychopath mother and sister who have all spent their lives trying to manipulate people and committing endless crimes.
She was trying to make her self believe she’s not a psycopath by going to get a BPD diagnosis 😂😂😂😂😂 that doesn’t make you un-psychopathic . It’s like drinking your problems away, you still have problems!!! 😂😂😂😂🎉 she is fully aware she’s a psychopath but don’t wanna believe it or change. Same goes with anybody else
@@nv_chino
Very few women are psychopaths. More than likely some other form of behavioural issue. Could involve compulsions or poor impulse control and maybe issues around mood control.
lol thats such a psychopathic thing to do hahah
I burst out laughing at this😂😂 definitely something a psychopath would do
What are the other 2 of the “dark triad”?
Are there any good, readable, books on how difficult times program people to have dark personality traits as a survival mechanism?
Wattpad I have books out teaching people how to be a psychopath, a bible and tons more
It's under the name Lucy Black
For obvious reasons
Hello I want to ask something I’m always moving at work I drive the small forklift walking sometimes feel hyperactive my mind racing and when I talk to people Mabe they don’t understand me because I talk aggressively hyperactivity what would you call those traits
I would suggest seeking professional help. It could just be stress related.
hi i love your videos but can you maybe talk about tourette syndrome
I have a request. I need help from Dr Judy.
My daughter has lots of nervous system problems that she has just been told from her Neurologist that she has Functional Neurological Disorder. Can you please do a series on CZcams about it. Thanks 🙏
Respectfully, that is a question you pose to a neurologist.
Now I'm more confused than ever about the difference between psychopath and sociopath. I was always told one was nature and one was nurture.
Read more.
A sociopath has shallow emotions can even feel slightly remorse… damage done to others is fall out over selfish wants. They usually have genetic traits along with trauma to produce a sociopath.
A psychopath enjoys the harm they cause. No empathy. A psychopath is born that way.
nothing is ever all of one or the other. genetic inheritance AND environment both apply to pretty much every mental illness/pd...i think w/those 2 - psychopaths have more of a genetic predisposition, whereas w/sociopaths, their issues stem mostly (but probably not exclusively) from environment. As she said, a psychopath might be born with a genetic predisposition to having little to no empathy, but if raised in a nurturing environment, they can still go on to be productive and harmless...ie a trauma surgeon or an EMT (other professions with higher numbers of them are all high-pressure professions where a lack of empathy is actually a benefit, ie lawyer, chef)
@@sheilajac that's a good point, but why is lack of empathy a benefit to being a chef?
@@ultraviolet3905 b/c it's high stress, fast paced, pressure (same as lawyers). Police are another example. there's a top 10 list out there on the internet
I've had to overcome them.
1:02 I see you’ve met my family. Small world!:)
I think Discipline is responsible for those not showing physiological signs of psychopathy. Discipline or a habit rewires the brain into a new set of reward system rules, which environment can affect a person's type of what he values, in turn that determines Discipline forming. It has the power to change your DNA. David Goggins is a prime example of how discipline changes you internally, albeit not in the psychopath sense.
Hmmmm.. this comment seems to be an example of ‘word salad’.
@@dianegraber9333yea
How do you know?
good hair transformation love it
I have been diagnosed as a psychopath and since birth I have had green eyes with strange lines, my left eye is completely different than my right eye.
Oh that’s sick! I bet it looks really cool.
I have a question, how did you get to the point that you were interviewed by a psychologist and diagnosed?
The last part seema like I was a psychopath, I am pretty sure I have grown out of that into oyher "traits of," personality disorders and mental health Issues
My husband was mad that way by his mom. She was one also.
Psychopathy is diagnosis able with an MRI of the amygala being 18% smaller. Traits alone are good enough!
I definitely don’t use that as a name calling technique in an argument. I actually really believe I have family members who are individuals with psychopathic traits. Otherwise I do not believe they would participate in gaslighting me when I’m an abuse survivor who is vulnerable or attack my business so I can’t be independent.
I have no emotional reaction to anything that doesn't affect me, I've never maintained relationships, i despise other people and im only comfortable away from them. What would you call me?
Anti-social
Can you help someone who is a psychopath feel empathy? Can you reverse it? Do you know if giving them love and affection and maybe behavior therapy help? Can you help them? How? Once diagnosed are they forever this way? So many more questions
No its not reverseble but if you are with someone who is a psychopath you can explain empathy and emotions to them like how it feels and stuff but you got to know that whatever you explain has no meaning its just words for them now as a psychopath myself i can say this because many psychologist have tried explaining it to me and its nonsens i know the definition of the word but thats it and "love" is so weird explain its like another language but all this said a psychopath will fool you with manipulation of every form and draw a what I call self mirror a psychopath can copy or mimic emotions they have seen to blend in and fool you until they get what they need from you and move on to the next pray so my advise get as far away before you get so mentally broken you need psykology help or delete yourself and trust me it will happen in the eyes of a psychopath you are a disposeable pray like a sheep and thats all you will ever be for them all they want is to get that completed rush like a high Kinda
@@wackabacka How hopeless. I want to believe there is some kind of behavioral therapy. Maybe one day they be research and study and finally a cure to this.
I feel like people train everyone how others are allowed to treat them.
Don’t even try. Loving them will only make yourself look like easy prey to them. They are incapable of feeling love or empathy. You’ll just get hurt. Very, very badly. I was in love with a psychopath for five years. They are master manipulators and are very, very good at lying. These people can easily pass polygraph tests. Narcissists are like bunnies compared to psychopaths who are rabid bears. I’m lucky to have escaped with my life. I was his favorite plaything and believe me, you do not want to be in that situation. I was devoid of all personality, basically a robot. Because he hated individuality and a woman who had her own independent thoughts and feelings. He wanted me to be his mindless slave that did whatever I was told. Only then would I get rewarded with “love” which was just really good acting. Sadly, because I was so starved of love and was completely brainwashed by him, my entire existence was doing everything and anything I could to please him. Just so I could get a taste of affection that I so deeply needed. I repeat. They. Cannot. Love. Take it from someone who tried. Biggest mistake I ever made. I still have trauma to this day from him and I finally escaped from him over a decade ago. Feels like it was yesterday. Please don’t make the same mistake. I can’t bear the thought of anyone going through what I went through. You’ll be marked by their evil cruelty for the rest of your life.

The word psychopath gets thrown around a lot. Most people that are diagnosed with it probably are not actually it. It is very rarely that social conditions exist that shield a psychopath and empowers them.
Psychopaths are born, and they have a very strong mind-body connection generally if they do not struggle with neurodivergence, meaning, in healthy and connected environments where the family unit thrives and heals together, the child will not develop social or interpersonal aversion, and likely will develop a healthy and balanced psyche and healthy and balanced relationships. It is in adverse, abusive, neglectful and unstable environments that psychopaths "present" these symptoms of being psychopathic ( because the mind is traumatized and the body is merely reacting to the trauma when the connection between the mind and body is made), but only dangerous and very disturbed psychopaths have been studied and analyzed, therefore leaving the vast majority of psychopaths to go unnoticed and not acurrately studied. I do belive the gene for psychopathy is passed from mother to son, and father to daughter, and these relationships between them can prove to be extremely contentions and neurologically charged to the point of being very dangerous. I have always given my father a wide berth when he becomes triggered mentally by something or someone (typically me if I am too inquisitive, which I was as a child, because I was trying to learn how to feel), and this has helped our relationship tremendously. I do think psychopaths have the ability to mentally train themselves to stay in physical spaces that create mental discomfort, but it is very difficult and typically very dangerous for their family.
Yes, she switched the sociopath and then psychopath around. Psychopath is born with genetic factors and their childhood makes it worse. Sociopath is born with no genetic markers and goes through a very abusive childhood that turns them into a sociopath. That's still very true and accurate.
i had aspd ever sense I can remember I lack empathy. Remorse. I lack guilt. I lack fear But I'm still not concerned my self a sociopath psychopath. I get long with animals a lot more the humans because they don't care about my lack of empathy or the other thing my brain dose even. Releasing right now chemicals in my brain that rewards me from seeing people or hanging with so I often cuz it just not occur in my brain. I can't really develop meaning relationship because of being having a wrong disorder from the rest of the normal world and I still get abuse from having a mental disorder I can't even Control I really hate people stigmatize my disorder and when they don't even fully understand the disorder because with aspd it look very different in men and women, there a lot i could say about it really
Funky those people they don't know what ya go through
I’m trying to think if I’ve ever met or known a sociopath or a psychopath but I can’t think of anyone who really stands out. I must have met at least one right ?
They wouldn't stand out.
Think of the person everyone loves, looks up to, and trust. Watch them
@@jlovesj3335
Psychopaths are deceitful but tend to lack control and structure. Unlikely such a person could hold such perception for a long period of time.
No mention of the ruthless greed that drives most psychopaths along with their ephemeral wish to alleviate their pervasive, all-consuming boredom? Hmmm...
I am uncovering that my brother is a psychopath. Very cold and callous and manipulative. And I believe in his core, low conscientiousness. It is discouraging to know these are some of the most damaging people of society, even more than high Machs and narcs! But encouraging to know I need to get the hell away from him and heal from his toxic influence over me growing up with him. Ugh! Thanks Dr Ho.
I’m not sure I agree that you can be friends with them or that they are quite productive. I think they just aren’t getting caught manipulating people and harming them. And I scored 0 on the testing for psychopathy . Which did not surprise me. I’m not wired to manipulate.
Wow. She got a lot of these wrong. I'm surprised. She isn't up to date at all. That sucks. I was looking forward to this.
Me. You are very helpful very beautiful ❤️
My new flatmate is cleary a psychopath (underhangs toilet rolls, toothpaste cap left off). He seemed so normal when I first met him. Now I know what I'm dealing with I feel slightly safer.
I was expecting video describing what drives them etc. Video does not contain this information.
5:00 But when you see it, you will really know it. It is beyond hurt feelings, beyond back stabbing, beyomd manipulation, beyond selfishness, beyond vengemce, beyond controlling, beyond charasmatic.... It is Complete Lack of empathy. You Know It because they are proud of their repulsive, controlling behaviors. It is sickening to see, yet it is rewarded by people like them - reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, but when you pull the curtain back, you regret it.
Yes
why does it have to be “impaired”
To be quite honest, if impairments means an ability to manipulate unimpaired people through empathetic tactics… I mean
Peter Gore Seer,
I Always Claim It Takes A Psyhco To Recognise A Psyhco, And I Am Usually Right.
Watch the British documentary called 'psychopath night'.
I always got confused by the mental health diagnoses….I was told that I have Borderline Personality Disorder and C-PTSD, however, with time…they added ASPD as a comorbid condition.
My childhood stands out as psychopathic though….but the doctors suggest that a Borderline cannot be a psychopath. I disagree strongly. I was a messed up kid and how can you explain that at the age of three???
I don’t think I would have been coherent enough to process my abuse yet, unless me being given up by my birth mother, as an infant, had something to do with it. Maybe there was like a Dexter effect and it messed me up before my developmental years. I remember harming animals to the point that I got beaten and punished, hating kids and being jealous of them, hurting kids physically…I got kicked out of jimboree (or whatever) for throwing a child off the top of a slide. I also got kicked out of preschool for grabbing the back of my friend’s head and shoving a Lego into her forehead until she bled. I was a biter, a kicker, a slapper. Just genuinely unhappy and unruly. I also remember being a very VERY avid liar. My mother sat down and explained to me why that was bad when I was like four, and then I lied to her directly afterward when she asked me a question.
To this day I am unruly, reckless, and impulsive. But I’m also a Borderline, lol….so factor in all of those wild emotions. I’m very volatile. The only caveat is: I have empathy. Cognitive, I believe.
so what if u was like that while u was young? no infants brain is developed enough to not be egocentric. if u have empathy then you are not a psychopath. nobody cares if you are one either. stop trying to label urself, and just live ur life. its pathetic tbh. will any mental disorder diagnosis cure u? no it wont. so why go to great lengths for fucking nothing.
I feel nothing for anyone and anything. My father died, i felt nothing, my mother died 3 weeks ago, i felt nothing, my wife n son left me, i felt nothing. I don't really care to want to feel anything, because i really don't fell the need to care about it. We will all die one day.
I have aspd
Great video thx! also I’m trying to not objectify but omg Dr.Judy is GORGEOUS ❤
Do you have the add the gorgeous? Does it make a difference?.
I want you dr Judy ❤❤
Yo, this is Baba Blast!
Hi
Pretty eyes
So most of the worrier soldiers in the army at war are considered a psychopath? 🤔
Most of soldiers, police officers are psychopaths. No remorse, no feelings and the most prevalent the narcissistic traits within.
No
Why is psychopath spoken of as if it's a bad thing?
i disagree with this pattern of describing psychopaths like "psychopathy is where a person hurts other people without caring/person who cant hold down a job, etc.". Now thats an action. Thats like saying autistic people are the ones to freak out when noises are too loud or something. Yes autistic people are sensitive to bright lights and loud noises (most of them) and psychopaths lack empathy and remorse, but it doesnt necessarily mean that they will act on it... It just makes it easier for them to. Also the Robert Hare checklist is outdated and imo just lacking, because he only interviewed psychopaths that are imprisoned, meanwhile most psychopaths are not, and are probably law abiding normal citizens
She’s talking about Tasha K 😢
When trying to explain a person who is satanicaly energized from an uninformed perspective,
I truly believe a psychopath is born.
And what differ between the psychopaths and stupids is their levels of intelligences which have different thresholds...
Every psychopath commit crimes but only the not so smart ones get caught. So yes not every psychopath goes to jail and some are very high functioning and successful, but this doesn't prove they never committed a crime, they did, but because they are so smart and they plan well, they never get caught.
Number one they can't control it
Number two I know someone that gets the help she needs and never committed a crime
Number three so are humans
Let's play our helpers. Stop. Lets play our helpers
You just described most folks with ADHD at 3:00
So it seems like you're describing someone with ADHD but no heart or empathy. (Which is not most of us.)
there are narcissistic traits that are also traits of aspbergers, that doesn't mean ppl with aspberger's are narcissists. Likewise, just because psychopaths and ADHD have poor impulse control, doesn't mean they are the same - they just happen to share that specific trait.
@@sheilajac exactly my point.
Their is a correlation with antisocial personality disorder and ADHD. A high number of individuals with APD also diagnosed with ADHD. It’s believed that’s why they have such low impulse control added with low empathy is the reason their lives are so hard and harm those close to them.
You can just have ADHD and not APD. My daughter has ADHD so does her father but he also has APD\sociopathy. My daughter is kind with introspection for others. I have heard therapist opinions on both of them and learned so much.
fun fact: if unmedicated, adhd can develop into aspd, so not too far off
The ugliness of the world turn me this way.
I’m Ashlee lol :) , I just help people
@SERGEYBRIN WHO IS THIS LIKE?
How Tf did psychopathy survive natrual selection if they kept kicking them out of tribes from the past.
This bored me to tears but at least I got to annoy people

And what if someone knows they are and genuinely doesn't give a flying fuck mate? Asking for a friend
Her eyes look different, right?
Yes.
Not py
They're born that way, their brains are different, that's genetics.
Yes but without sufficient aggression you can’t get the car going. Trauma creates aggression which is fuel for psychopathy
I'm an empath myself but I can see why they wouldn't want to accept society, I don't either, our society is very illogical and harmful.
Wait no, psychopaths are more likely to be born and sociopaths made. I wonder if she meant to say that because this has been well established.
Doesn't matter ! Nobody is perfect not even you
@@Moodboard39 umm, what's your point?
A psychopath will heal once we gain empathy.
So the real question is, is Dexter a psychopath then? Or a sociopath?
I'd say a smart sociopath because he cares about his sister somewhat, he was upset when his wife died, and changed his mind about the detective guy he put in a cage. (He was gonna let him go but the place caught fire I think?)
Its the opposite. People think psychopaths are born and sociopaths are made
It is genetic.
Rules and laws but it was once illegal to marry anyone who didnt share the same color skin.
Try again.
Ask Hitler what he thought about laws.

IS THIS BASED ON HER OR DID SHE COPY THIS?
Too bad CEO's are usually forgptten in these explanations. Its like High Functioning Psychopathy.
Are heroes psychopaths. A monk that sets himself on fire. Martyrs narcississts.
Mostly aspd is a mix of psychopathy and phobias
Too standard. Should ask better questions.
