    Thank you for distinguishing between psychosis and psychopathy. I’m afraid a lot of the time to open up to people about my psychosis because they tend to conflate the two. I don’t lack empathy, I know how to care about people and I feel a full range of emotion; I just sometimes have auditory or visual hallucinations, and there are some things that I know for a fact arent true but I cant seem to convince myself to stop believing. I’m not dangerous, or frightening.

      Dunno if this holds true for the movie version, but comic joker actually states to Batman "it hurts every time I laugh." Implying that being a joker is actually extremely painful existence. Which, makes sense given that 2 of the 3 jokers right now, didn't chose to become jokers. They were just made by the comedian joker AKA killing Joke Joker. Imagine being a normal person, then suddenly a "crazy" guy dunks you into a vat that essentially rewrites your DNA and your thought process and also makes you aware that you're not actually a person but instead you're just a comic book character playing the role of the bad guy.

      Walter justifies everything he does because in his eyes its for his family and he thinks him dying will make his family suffer. But as soon as he reached his "goal" of 777 thousand he discovered he actually liked the lifestyle and the power. Hes more of a sociopath/pathological liar

      The examples I've picked also show a different side to ASPD. Even with low empathy it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't care about things other than themselves (though pure narcissists would be that way).

      And give how many veterans that tend to be outright disabled by PTSD, it might as well been the worst pick for the patriarch.
      On thought though, Michael doesn't disregard the law in an asocial manner. He simply adheres to a different set of laws than the governmental ones, as the mafia at this time still was very rule bound.
      That means that when he acts to get vengeance, he not only acts in the interest of his group but to uphold the rules of his society and if not thrilled with getting to kill should be able to be satisfied with a job well done.
      Michael might of course still be a psychopath, but when both explanations give the same result, you just can't say which is correct without more information.

      @@nostalgicbliss5547 Well here is the thing about mental illness, mental illness encompasses a broad range of psychopathology disorders that arise due to conditions that cause a change in ones mental state; which feeling, thinking, mood, and behavior are all encompassed within mental illness. The change as you could imagine, is usually abnormal and unhealthy. Psychopathy (though it has not yet been classified as a real disorder) and narcissism, when at the extreme end of the spectrum, are in fact disorders (personality disorders specifically), as these sort of abnormal traits and behaviors, are usually developed at around early to late childhood. Psychopathy being purely based on biological traits you are born with is sort of inconsistent with what present research on psychopathy indicates. While you are born with the traits associated with psychopathy, not everyone that bears these traits is in fact a psychopath... research indicates it is a combination of environmental factors and biological factors that lead to the development of psychopathy. Thus psychopaths, do in fact exhibit abnormal thoughts and behaviors as lacking empathy, showcasing a proclivity to manipulate others, pathological lying, extreme narcissism (people with "psychopathy" many times have heterogenous symptoms that are associated with other disorders) are all abnormal behaviors.. which leads to its classification as a mental disorder as these symptoms are in fact unhealthy and abnormal. As for narcissism, everyone exhibits narcissism so you would be correct there.. its only when people fall on the extreme side of the narcissistic spectrum that they are then diagnosed as having a personality disorder.

So when he thinks about violence, he gets paralyzingly nauseous, the kind where you'd do anything to make stop.

    This forensic psychiatrist guy reminds me of a mix between Milo Thatch and Clark Kent and I’m living for it.

    1:10 So Heath Ledger's Joker was Psychopathic, but Joaquin Phoenix's Joker was Psychotic? Nice.

      Not quite, Phoenix's Joker was both psychotic and a psychopath. Well, to the extent of that movie being an accurate portrayal of a realistic personality disorder.

      @@jarkov1293 I think he was psychotic but had anti social personality disorder? which doesn’t automatically mean they’re a psychopath but exhibit sociopathic behaviour

      Phoenix was more likely a sociopath turned down completely by the society , abused by everyone , losing all hope and thus resorting to anarchy

    This man must really like movies. He’s gotten very in depth with each character and the storylines themselves

    This guy's knowledge is very impressive - not only does he master the psychology aspect, but also really knows the movies!!
