I definitely presented a lot of these traits from a very young age but it's more like it just subconsciously happened. Once I became aware of the fact that it doesn't fit in with society then I consciously changed my behavior. I still have those lack of feelings and remorse but I try and appear a certain way that's more "normal". I really don't understand what exactly is different about me and I'm definitely not trying to diagnose myself with anything but I just found the connection noteworthy. Then again I have been told after the fact that I sometimes still act in those certain ways.
I wanted to thank you Dr. Grande. I've been watching your videos after I found your channel about a year ago. I was diagnosed in a forensic setting with comorbid cluster b personality disorders. I really didn't appreciate what it all meant at the time. Your videos have been an invaluable resource. Quite literally, I don't know what I would have done without them... or I'd still be lost in the fog. Clinical insight and expertise is rare and not easily accessible, as you're aware. I want to thank you for what you do and for what it's worth I'll always appreciate it. I don't defend my character and I don't think I'm someone you would have a beer with. Having said that, you've helped me find real stability and I'm sure this is and will be true for many others like me who find your channel. As seriously as I can say it, thank you sir. You're offering a light in the darkness.
Having relevant text items appearing as you speak is an excellent idea. With that text synchronized with the precise verbal presentation, the whole video feels like an effective teaching tool. And how you manage to pack all that info into just under 9 minutes, and without any perceived haste - that really beats me! A question that has bugged me about the topic of psychopaths is that most of the study subjects are sampled from prison population. The reason for that is obvious: ease of finding the relevant study subjects. But doesn't using inmates as for these studies result in some incompleteness of the picture of a psychopath most of us are likely to meet?
Would it be possible to put links in the description of some of the research papers that you read to make the video? Not that I dont trust you, but I think people (like me) would like to read up on these topics. Thanks and love the videos.
I'm interested in not the fancy term of "Psychopathy", nor the movie influenced definition of it, but pure categorization of it and how their mind works. When I think of "Psychopathy" I also think of "social norm" and what measurement is "right" to diagnose one as "Psychopath".
You are the most professional person i've ever seen it's just mindblowing. And I mean that in a good way, you almost make me want to fall sick so you can treat me^^ Seriously though keep up the spread of well reaserched unbiased (as much as can be) info. You are a fine gourmet in a world of gluttonous pigs Dr Grande. Peace
alexis Julliard: No offence, but is that impressive metaphor in your comment a clever way to qualify for a treatment? :) But, on a serious note, I totally agree with you: Dr. Grande provides the most professional videos that I have come across.
My dear SK we French are at our best when we mingle food and poetry. Or soccer (aaaahhhhhhhhh) and irony ;) Care to explain what SK stands for? genuinely intrigued ;)
Alexis Julliard, and AMG: Just initials, I am afraid. Boring, I know... (and not supernaturally). But I was totally serious about the high quality of this channel. I am never disappointed after watching another video from Dr. Grande.
I would also love to see your assessment of Sherlock Holmes as portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch. This Sherlock Holmes claims several times to be a high-functioning sociopath but I think that he fits Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder much better.
I'm a psychopath with comorbid borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. In my teen years I was the poster girl for recklessness, but I have since learned to manage myself. I still like to have fun but its certainly not as often.
Dr.Grande, thank you so much for an outstanding channel! Very informative and easy to understand. I have a question: Do psychopaths, Sociopaths and people with Narcissistic personality disorder have sense of humor? Thank you!
In all of the videos on psychopathy i have ever watched, there is never any account for things like methamphetamine abuse. Methamphetamine abuse can take a relatively normal and empathetic person and turn them into something even more dangerous than the garden variety psychopath. I do not have any science to back up my opinion, I have simply seen it in real life.
Control is a touchy issue when dealing with psychopathy. I'd argue that the majority of psychopaths, which we know go completely under the radar as far as being studied goes, understand their inherent "lack of self control" from a relatively early age. Starting at around 11 years old they begin to realize their impulsivity has gotten them unexpected results enough times for a need to learn to control it. Trial and error begins and the learning curve continues until they're around 23. If by that time if they haven't effed up enough to get them caught or whatever then you've got a fully fledged average psychopath that knows how to maneuver without ever being found out. The majority of psychopaths always have and always will remain uncovered. We only know about the type of psychopath that gets caught. Doesn't mean most psychopaths are wildly different than the ones that do, but there are some key differences that will never find their way under a microscope.
I was surprised you didn't talk about factor 1 vs factor 2 psychopathy in this video like you usually do. Is there a reason for this? Anyway, thanks for the video!
Wow interesting explains my ex narc which was my diagnosis of course studied Psychology and knew he was a psychopath/covert narcissist...so interpersonal, lifestyle and add super secretive/dangerous combo...called him out on his bs run Forest Run but quietly...one step ahead because he thought everyone had no sense but him...sick!
Thanks for this video. I’m following the Darrell Brooks case and the way he acts in court is shocking!! I’ve never seen anything like it! He got diagnosed with anti social personality disorder by 4 doctors! But part of me was thinking that he has psychopathy and narcissism. Everyone these days wants to jump on the psychology band wagon. I just want the facts. Thanks for being a professional and sticking to the facts
Why have I hated people always I mean I don't want tot hurt them, but always am fed up and angry furious with anyone. Controlled violence but not aggression
Dr. Grande U R so knowledgeable. Thank U so much for sharing this type of info w/all of us. I would like to know if U think Chris Watts is a psychopath?
Really interesting and well explained,great teaching video.! I am using CW as a case study, to understand psychopathy, and if it might fit in this case. I see general traits, but hard to say if he would meet the check list full criteria score.
What about a guy who targets swimming pools, dog walking parks and hockey games to smash windows and steal purses, wallets, laptops and phones is a drug dealer and that’s just the start? He also does it with a smile and than rounds up young teens to help him drain the money and do credit card fraud. He is not violent but he has had violent episodes for sure and 2 deceased ex girlfriends.
I understand ASPD as a spectrum with sociopaths on low and and psychopaths as full blown. ASPD is usually co-morbid with depression, anxiety ( centered around control), and OCD. The diagnosis usually begins with ADHD, then ODD, CD, then ASPD at 18.
I know a person who is having therapy, claiming he has anxiety and that's the excuse of him doing substance abuse. To treat his anxiety symptoms. He doesn’t seem anxious at all but instead impulsive/thrill seeking quite often. Is it possible that he manipulates his therapist and mum with the anxiety issues and maybe he believes even himself that his impulsiveness is anxiety? He meets all the characteristics of simple psycopathy. But he is not dangerous in other sense, like breaking the law or violent at all. Is it possible that a person with psycopathy believes his own manipulation/lies?
Psychopaths are atypical in nature. They are not classified as having a personalty disorder or mental disorder because it's in their nature. They thrive from Power and arousal (Adrenaline), according to Dr. Hugo Marietá from Argentina. He is a specialist in Psychopaths.
Do you think if a non-violent psychopath was on the Uvalde police force he or she would be more likely to go into the classroom and shoot the man responsible for the massacre? What occupations do you think are good fits for these people?
you know, i check off a lot of boxes for psychopathy, but i don't know if it's because i really am one or if i just embody some of the traits from time to time. what if over time some of my symptoms drop off?? what if i have such a cocktail of comorbid disorders that i'll never know the true roots of my mental issues??? i keep trying to figure out what's wrong with me and keep failing to do so. i just want answers. maybe this isn't the place to rant but... i don't really care. i just wanna give up.
Thank you for some very interesting videos. I would like to know if you think that increased violence in movies and other media desensitize people and if it may be creating a generation of psychopaths or, at least, psychopathic behavior. Thanks in advance.
I have that permanent disorder which is a Psychopathy disorder because a lot of things happened to me when i was still in childhood and now im 12 its getting more you know idk how to explain
Ascended Taoist sociopathy is a less intense form of psychopathy. Like psychopaths they generally don't feel empathy but they can develop some sort of feelings for close friends and relatives. There are also a few other differences like they are less manipulative etc.
@@henrijj8025 No, psychopaths cannot feel any prosocial emotions even for family or friends. Anything they do for these people is motivated by logic, not emotion. Bonding and emotions for others are completely absent in psychopathy.
It took one look at my creditcard statement to diagnose the old lady. Impulsivity,need for stimulation,decietfulness,parasitic lifestyle,and a total lack of remorse,coupled with aggression and violence.Figured out she is a completly normal female.
I wish I was a psychopath. Seems like the best mental illness to have. Life is so simple for them. I've heard that a lot of therapists are psychopaths lol.
This is better than some 'phychology' channels which makes videos about 'signs of your crush likes you'
Dr. Grande- You have led me into understanding humans in ways I didn’t believe I wanted. That’s why I didn’t, until now. 😌
(*^^)v(^^ゞtodd grende thank you afterall everyone has to accept we Earthlings have our flaws.

Yes but cannot spot a psychopath just by contact but by living with a person and observing mannerisms and behavior...which I did...run for your life!
@@Dtella55 I SECOND THAT! AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!!

Yes, I am adding the references in the description of new releases and trying to catch up with some older videos as well.
Dear Dr. Grande,
Can psychopathic individuals love? Are they moved by music, poetry or a sentimental movie? Could they have a spiritual experience?
I'm interested in not the fancy term of "Psychopathy", nor the movie influenced definition of it, but pure categorization of it and how their mind works. When I think of "Psychopathy" I also think of "social norm" and what measurement is "right" to diagnose one as "Psychopath".

Impulsiveness seems to be shared by many diagnoses. Intriguing.

Sir, please describe hare' psychopathic checklist revised. Sir please explain all 20 items meaning & describe with 2 examples for each.
I was surprised you didn't talk about factor 1 vs factor 2 psychopathy in this video like you usually do. Is there a reason for this?
Anyway, thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge my friend
Haven’t watched a later video, but my first instinct is to comment on the volume of the video. Might want to heighten it a little. 😬
its kinda cool to learn about myself
Hello it's very good and information that you are giving😊 I had a daughter had a lot of problems and I need it to find answers thank you😊
Wow interesting explains my ex narc which was my diagnosis of course studied Psychology and knew he was a psychopath/covert narcissist...so interpersonal, lifestyle and add super secretive/dangerous combo...called him out on his bs run Forest Run but quietly...one step ahead because he thought everyone had no sense but him...sick!
Dr. Todd Grande! Thank you for this explanation. 🦊
Psychopaths care less than sociopaths is what I've heard and or read. I will get around to watching the whole video.
Orange and black theme in the thumbnail. So cool.

How do you know if someone or yourself shows these traits and what do you do if you do? Is there anyway I can message you? Thanks
I would to see studies on how nutrients/nutrition affect personality disorders
Why have I hated people always I mean I don't want tot hurt them, but always am fed up and angry furious with anyone. Controlled violence but not aggression
Dr. Grande U R so knowledgeable. Thank U so much for sharing this type of info w/all of us. I would like to know if U think Chris Watts is a psychopath?
Well lets see. He murdered his own daughters while they were wide awake and dumped them in an oil tank and didn't drop a tear. So..... Yes?....
Are there physical limitations that must be considered?
I pity psychopaths. They generally have troubled childhoods.
Thank you so much!! Very interesting!!!!
This was a good one, Dr. Grande
Just got diagnosed that’s why I’m here I suppose
Could you make more videos on Jung's work please?
you keep going until the psychopath gives up
Really interesting and well explained,great teaching video.!

Hi Dr Grande. If psychopathy is indeed a distinct entity, is there a reason why it would be overlooked as a seperate diagnosis in the DSM 5?
Psychopaths are atypical in nature. They are not classified as having a personalty disorder or mental disorder because it's in their nature. They thrive from Power and arousal (Adrenaline), according to Dr. Hugo Marietá from Argentina. He is a specialist in Psychopaths.
Do you think if a non-violent psychopath was on the Uvalde police force he or she would be more likely to go into the classroom and shoot the man responsible for the massacre? What occupations do you think are good fits for these people?
The difference between psychopathy and malignant narcissism?
you know, i check off a lot of boxes for psychopathy, but i don't know if it's because i really am one or if i just embody some of the traits from time to time. what if over time some of my symptoms drop off?? what if i have such a cocktail of comorbid disorders that i'll never know the true roots of my mental issues??? i keep trying to figure out what's wrong with me and keep failing to do so. i just want answers. maybe this isn't the place to rant but... i don't really care. i just wanna give up.

Do borderlines have similarities ? My mother was a diagnosed borderline and she had alot of these same behaviors.
LIFEISAJOURNEY LETITGO No
there always can be overlap, but there is really a difference between those 2.
There is a cluster of trait with Narcissists, Sociopaths, Asperger, and psychopaths.
Anti social pd is interesting, but tough for me to live by one.
I have that permanent disorder which is a Psychopathy disorder because a lot of things happened to me when i was still in childhood and now im 12 its getting more you know idk how to explain
Oh loooook! An old gem. Interstiny
I have all of this ...I was diagnosed with psychopathy and possibly sociopathy ... I guess I'd be 40/40 ... idk
lol thanks ime making a google doc talking about what psychopathy is, and is it as bad as we say it is.

Psychopathology is the same thing?
Not a sociopath here...just intj
Psychopathy is what governs the world ruled by money governed by fear
Do psychopaths always have messed up children?
I always get the vibe that Dr Grande may be a psychopath

folks need to come up with a shorter name for antisocial personality disorder, it's a mouthful and it sounds jarring
I’m worried I’m a psychopath. :(
Then you are not a psycopath.Psycopaths don't worry about things
You're a sad sociopath. You're Fine.
No empathy.
It took one look at my creditcard statement to diagnose the old lady.
Impulsivity,need for stimulation,decietfulness,parasitic lifestyle,and a total lack of remorse,coupled with aggression and violence.Figured out she is a completly normal female.
what about a psychopath who acts warm, lmfao
You wanna know what pyschopathy is? Pyschopathy is basically some people cannot be part of the cattle since they are predators. Just leave them alone!
I wish I was a psychopath. Seems like the best mental illness to have. Life is so simple for them. I've heard that a lot of therapists are psychopaths lol.
