In my criminology class, I was taught that anti, psycho, and socio are all the same exact thing, but psycho tells you if their behavior is biological and socio tells you if their behavior was developed through environmental experience. Anti is what the person truly has either way. Maybe that's just the way criminologists classify it to make it easier on themselves but I figured it couldn't be that simple...
Kaye S. ASPD is the condition. Psychopathy in the 60s became Sociopathy in the 90s and ASPD in the DSM 5. There are biological AND environmental factors involved but no certain cause and neither psycho- or socio- are clinical terms anymore and there is no consensus about what either term means. Most say psycho- is more violent and socio- more manipulative, but this video even gets it wrong so you can see how confusing it is.
Lucifer Blue just curious what education/career do you have that brought you to that conclusion and that Dr. Grande is wrong about it? Genuine question, just trying to understand it better
Every time I read or watch something on the Net about sociopathy/psychopathy, there are contradictions and outright incorrect info. I guess they all do not learn the same stuff in medical school. And that is scary. Read books, lots and lots of recently published books written by experts. "Without Conscience" by Robert Hare is great. "The Science of Evil" by Simon Baron-Cohen is even better.
As someone who studies psychology and behaviour, thank you! I can not tell you how often I hear/see people speaking about psychopaths and sociopaths even though they are very misinformed. It makes me happy to see sources that actually have the right information.
Thank you for posting this! With the misinformation going around in Shane Dawson’s vid. This is much needed! You should post this under his vid in the comments

In very simple terms, sociopaths behave like children, while psychopaths behave like adults. A sociopath is "innocently" harmful or reckless. YOU, as the third party, have a clear understanding that their actions are either "right" or "wrong," but the sociopath doesn't. Psychopaths, on the other hand, are capable of emulating those around them, just like "healthy" adults do. They don't necessarily hold the same values of "right" and "wrong" as the third party observer does, however, the psychopath is aware of what the observer expects and will accept in a given situation. The actions of a psychopath are based on the expected emotions of those around them, whereas a sociopath never considers the emotions of others. Sociopathy is passionate, whereas psychopathy is logistical. I don't see why the debate between the two continues. Did they do something impulsively without forethought? Then they're a sociopath. Did they conceive of and carefully execute a plan over days, months or years? Then they're a psychopath.
I work with a psychopath fits perfectly into Factor 1 I actually find him really interesting we manage to piss each other off a lot he would be someone really interesting for you to meet
I know someone will probably correct me on this, but psychopathy simply sounds like a mixture of some of the traits from anti-social and narcissistic personality disorders together...
Thank you so much! I drew APD for a report in Abnormal Psych, and my Professor is brilliant but he’s an old timer, and thinks sociopaths and psychopaths are synonymous, so I wanted to bring some new info (with sources of course) into the class discussion. Very concise. I appreciate it! ✌️
Antisocial personality disorder very literally describes regularized method of social participation, whilst psychopathy includes means to ends, which is categorically different. There is a clear limited intersection.
hello Dr. Grande!!! i’ve been hyper fixated on your videos for months! i have quiet bpd and i just broke up with my ex who told me that he had factor 2 psychopathy(sociopathy), ADHD, substance abuse, and narcissism. thank you SO MUCH for giving me insight in my relationship and within myself. your information probably is more helpful than you could ever know. thank you. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Finally someone who does research from reliable sources theres so many people just saying they are narcissistic and just mixing the names up like please people do research before you make a vid and people paint them to be the villian they shouldnt because you dont know what they go through.
Thank you very much sir for the material. The psychopathy doesn't always manifest into factor 2 traits. This depends on upbringing. This would be a pro social psychopath but yes, a primary can have factor 2 traits.
Can you do a video on Depression & the somatic symptoms? I know it's similar to videos you've made in the past, but mainly regarding how do people with Depression talk. Word count in conversation decreases, lack of eye contact, etc. In a clinical setting what are the most telling physical responses that a Depressed person may give that is very telling.
I read - psychiatric notation - that psychopathy was just and old term used, then later sociopathy and now/today we use ASPD as the official terminology when describing dyssocial personality disorders. Also I noticed certain traits you described in factor 1 and 2 with their facets. Some of these traits also overlap each other across both factors and facets, and can therefore not exclusively be limited facets to factors, hence why some professionals doesn’t use psychopathy and sociopathy in their terminology today but rather use the diagnose ASPD with multiple crossover facets to distinguish the specific individual analysed.
@Dr. Todd Grande Sociopathy is an old term that was introduced to describe behaviors that deviate from social norms or are harmful in nature. The term psychopathy was introduced in 1923 by Kurt Schneider, who described abnormal personalities that were harmful either to themselves and/or to others. This means that psychopathy is just an older term for what is now known in the ICD-10 as a specific personality disorder. Classification of psychopathy according to the ICD-10: F07.0 Organic personality disorder (Exogenic causes) F21 Borderline Schizophrenia (Psychogenic causes) F60.0 Querulatory personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.1 Schizoid personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.2 Amoral personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.30 Emotionally unstable personality disorder of the impulsive type (Psychogenic causes) F60.31 Emotionally unstable personality disorder of the borderline type (Psychogenic causes) F60.4 Histrionic personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.5 Anankastic personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.6 Avoidant personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.7 Asthenic personality disorder (Psychogenic causes) F60.8 Other specific personality disorders (Psychogenic causes) F61 Combined and other personality disorders (Psychogenic causes)
I am an addiction counselor working in a methadone treatment center. I am here educating myself for a session with my antisocial personality disorder. The patient uses profanity because he has free speech in America, but he respects me and he listens to me. I want to help him understand the norms of society and pray I possess the skills. He is one of several substance abusers I work with. Bipolar I and schizophrenia are my other two challenges. I am so...I keep a DSM-5 at work and one at home.
I am a person with apsd, it depends on how severe the disorder is to determine how dangerous the person is, I hate people, I need them around me though in order to do things in my life such as work and thrive so I prefer them to be there, that’s not the same for everyone, but it’s common.
As far as psychopathy I refused the test. I did however go through the MMPI, extensive interviewing and inkblot. They diagnosed me with antisocial personality disorder and recommended the PCLR at which point I withdrew my consent for testing. I was also in a forensic setting during this time and soon after released. I felt if I had scored high enough on the PCLR it would effect my consideration for release.
Daniel Staley you should have more sympathy for your future victims. By not taking these tests you are showing further selfishness and criminality. Stop it. Have a heart and a conscience. The human brain is not 100% mapped. Maybe you have this potential to be selfless even now. Try.
My brother fits very snugly into all four facets of Psychopathy. Growing up we thought he had ADHD but now that he’s getting older, it’s looking more and more like something else.
It took me the weekend to absorb and digest this video!! I like the style in which you delivered it Dr Grande as it was in neatly wrapped bitesized chunks of info!! My neurons have processed and understood it.. but only just!! ☺ Thank goodness that Psychopathy has a higher percentage of Antisocial behaviour than the other way round!! I'd be waking up in cold sweat at 3am making plans to build a panic room!! Not a good look to walk past your neighbour's window with a shovel slung over your shoulder at that time in the morning eh Dr Grande.. 😮 Thanks for a brilliant video.. You packed and provided a variety of relevant and important information into a 10 minute time slot that made sense at the end!! Next week Nuclear Physics!! Thanks Again!! ☺
Hello Dr grande, I am a new subscriber and also a medical student from the Indian subcontinent. I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, however I do have additional psychotic symptoms of delusions, hallucinations, auditory, visual and sometimes tactile, as I can't find much literature on this odd combination, would you please be kind enough to shed some light on the matter ?. Thank you so much. Love what you do. :)
Thanks I'm forever trying to explain to people that ASPD is not automatically psychopathy . As someone dx with Aspd if I ever mention it people assume I'm suddenly going to kill them (thanks Hollywood) or try to con them. I'm relatively self aware and I don't spend every hour of the day hunting for others to hurt lol. So thank you for informing others of the distinct differences. Personally after years of researching the subject I'm inclined to view Aspd as more of a spectrum especially when using the FFM
what is the difference between factor to psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder also why do most researchers not use the term Socio path anymore
I think of it as antisocial personality disorder being broken down into which factors and facets that are the strongest in the person to be the dominant area of disfunction. Such as interpersonal or social. Then you may notice the symptoms or signs with cluster B. Histrionic, BPD, ect. Idk just my thoughts or opinion so far. Thank you Dr Grande.
Why we can have cluster A - B - C personality traits but not antisocial ones? In other words, which is the difference between Antisocial Personality Disorder and antisocial traits?
I think I might have antisocial personality disorder and i'm finally gnna go to therapy after being recommended by a professional. I don't understand sadness, how to act sad, or why people get so worked up with emotions at all. If i'm being honest I've never felt love before only excitement that people would give me sex, food, money, and relief for my short term necessities and goals. I have a girlfirend of 4 years now and I couldnt once say that I actually felt something inside of me before I could say is love. I'm curious where this therapy will go and how long i'll be able to put up with it before he finds out what I've told an actual therapist in the past about a horrible crime i've comitted but i'm less worried as i've gotten past that with my psychiatrist of 6 years now and other therapist that i one offed for even trying to snitch on me.
So can a psychopath be born ? I know that’s a very debated topic but I’ve seen so many videos of professionals who claim that there’s science to back up the claim. What’s your insight on that ?
@@tribal_instincts Psychopaths do not have to be born! IF you have the genes for it, and something triggers it before puberty or while starting of puberty it can also develope then, even if you have felt empathy as a little child
Im pretty sure i was an ASD sense i was kid around age 6.I violated allot of social norms (i stole allot of stuff like money,toys and phones and i watched tv allot exp horror movies and porn ) ,i lied allot,i was impulsive,aggressive,irresponsible,and lack of remorse,and other kids would avoid me or if i would have friends they would neglect me in short period of times,i would be teased in school by other children cuz i was different and when i got pissed i would answer with a punch or a scratch to a face or an eye with my nail's and i still dont feel regret about it at all,at one point i pointed a knife at my sister and i was planing to murder my father for moths until my mom found out and stop me.I started smoking and drinking at age 16 and i used drugs when i was 17.Just now at age 28 i realized what was going on with me.I never knew about this so i went to a Psychiatrist to do a Psycho Pass test ( cuz my close friends made me do it.One has Autism and ADD, and the other one is High in OCD and is a Narcissist and i was bored ) and yea i got a High Impulsive ,High Aggression and im a High functioning Sociopath,she even laughed when she got relief'ed after she told me im not a Psychopath but her aura changed after my test was done,i could see her fear and feel it ,but i just stayed cool around her ,i guess its not easy to think one sec that the person is normal on a look of an eye and then change to scare mode but what do i know,its a normal reaction of ppl i guess,but it was amusing to me to see her like that ) .Im married of course but i have no kids just yet.I try to live like everyone else on this planet but its hard when u have ASD.I dont have empathy for others feelings and i dont get attached to anyone thanks to my alcoholic Narcissistic parents.I hate ppl and its rare that i find someone to be close to but even then i get bored fast from them or they neglect me cuz they notice im off ,but i dont blame them.If something irritates me i break and throw stuff around like chairs ,laptop keyboard and breaking tables,i get aggressive in seconds if someone raise their voice at me and i attack them full force.The only emotion i exp is anger and sometimes sadness but mostly i feel empty inside.I dont like sharing this with ppl but i guess i made my point of what i am really.I didnt kill anyone yet and lets hope it stays that way.Thanks for this video Dr.Todd.
I hope things are looking a bit better for you. Just so you know you’re not on your own in this. I’d put good money on the fact that a lot of people around you probably feel some or many of the things you do too. You’re not off, so don’t let that be an excuse for people to treat you poorly. If you’ve been good to them and they dish you back shit, walk away and don’t look back. You sound like you know well the difference btw wrong and right and you clearly can see where u go wrong, so that’s the battle pretty much won. Many people can’t see or won’t ever admit to the horrendous way they treat others & will defend to the death & take it to the grave ever before they can begin to admit it to anyone, regardless of what it costs their victims. I know lots of these so called “healthy” people. So what I’m saying is that ur already miles ahead IMO. Acknowledgement means u can change if you want to. Some don’t get that chance I guess, or even want it. I have problems w my anger too sometimes. I get overwhelmed with emotions when certain people close to me have walked over me like a doormat. Sadly because I’ll yell or scream when they’ve tried to lie to my face or gaslight or refuse to take responsibility/reach common ground, they end up being innocent victims and I end up crucified. But I cross the line when I’ve raised my voice or slam doors in terms of what’s acceptable in society today. So in that sense I suppose I don’t feel remorse for lashing out. I know it’s wrong but my motivation for changing isn’t because I’m sorry for them. I know I shouldn’t do it but I also don’t think people should be allowed to get away with manipulating and lying to otherwise honest people so they can get away with hurting others. I’m sick of letting assholes get away with being assholes and the longer I keep reverting back to anger, the longer they get to be wolves in sheep’s clothing. Anyways just letting u know I feel you & that I relate to a lot of what you said & I’m not diagnosed and supposedly “normal/healthy” according to several psychs I’ve seen. I don’t think I’m off, but I know where I’m going wrong and sure the motivation for change might be wrong but at least I’m trying. I now believe that “normal” doesn’t exist so don’t let anyone else make you feel inferior because believe they themselves superior. Character deficiency/personality disorder, same shit, different day IMO
HI. I ask a question: I was rated 22/40 on the PCL-R, divided into 11 in factor 1 and 11 in factor 2. I also have ADHD. How does this classify me? psychopath? antisocial? I can't understand it because I have neither the tendency to continually violate the laws, like antisocial people, nor the extreme emotional coldness and wickedness of psychopaths (however, despite ADHD, I certainly have more emotional coldness than all people I know. but I can't say that I am 100% immune to fear nor that I tolerate stress well, precisely because of ADHD. Let's say it depends on the situation). for the sake of completeness I would add that in terms of narcissism the traits I have most are grandiosity, lack of empathy and envy, but I have never had a particular need for admiration. Can anyone give me some info? In Italy where I live, these topics are rarely discussed.
What does it mean when you’re cold/emotionally detached from everything and everyone in life but non violent although capable of and often experiences rage and anger?
Dr. Grande, could you do a video explaining how cognitive empathy actually works? Does it mean that when person A sees person B crying, person A understands that person B is upset? Or if they hear someone's voice rise in volume they know that the person is getting upset? Or if they see smell the person sweating in an interview they know the person is nervous? Conversely, affective empathy is automatic and person A feels how it must be to walk in person B's shoes at that particular moment? Also, could you explain ego dystonic in more depth? I'm confused because I thought that, in general, people with ASPD don't care if they hurt anyone or at least don't have remorse for it. If they care about how their behavior affects others, how can they so easily lie and manipulate others?
Lisa LPH you seem to be rather confused about the empathy/sympathy/remorse/emotions aspect of this diagnosis. You asked if the person would be able to understand that another person is upset when they see them crying. Of course they can *understand* that. Of course they can understand that someone is getting upset or angry when they hear someone’s voice rising in volume. Having no Empathy doesn’t mean you’re not capable of being able to know that 1+1=2. Why would someone with ASPD not be able to know “a person crying = a person is upset” ? ASPD doesn’t mean a person is stupid lol. It just means “I see that you’re upset/angry but I don’t relate to that reason/feeling/emotion”. That’s essentially COGNITIVE empathy. For instance, If I see you fall and break your leg, I’m going to be able to understand that it hurts you but I’m not going to feel it for myself. It’s the same type of process with emotions and feelings.
Romi Dogra if you have a desire to heal you’re probably not a sociopath. You can’t miss what you don’t have. Only a sense of curiosity and annoyance when you can’t understand. -person with aspd
What if an alcoholic man in his 50s has all the characteristics of interpersonal and all the characteristics of affective, except for shallow affect? He will cry over a woman who dumped him for cheating and lying, but it’s really all about him. His show of remorse and self-awareness is short-lived and basically attention seeking. He ensnares women who think they can help save him. He’s a pathological liar and has libeled one of his targeted victims. Said she was a crazy suicidal stalker. Now he’s posting how wonderful she was (after she blocked him). Would this likely be a psychopath?
wow, there's a lot to absorb here. Are you talking to psychology students, or those of us who are trying to figure out what types of people were associated with? I see lots of this going on with my in-laws but my head is swirling. Can you narrow it down 1 pathologyology at a time?
You won’t be able to define a person from a set of factors that distinguish an ASPD. this takes several hours of professional sessions to distinguish this. Maybe you need some anti paranoia medication. Ahaha!
What is your take on serial killers who showed no signs of APD in their youth, while you say that psychopathy generally contains also the signs of APD?
I keep scoring high for Sociopathy but I don't lie and I don't believe in materialism. In my psyche report it said I understand my effect on people but I simple don't care, its true but their is complexity to it like I don't believe humans are experimental, they animals and a very destructive one at that, also I always raise baby orphan animals at great cost and inconvenience to myself just because I feel some sort of care or duty to, I love an underdog having said that when I was young and was in some distress due to home life and such I have hurt them in sadistic way despite really loving animals even as a child. What is up with me? Am I a sociopath? I don't really care to hurt anyone in fact I help people at my own cost sometimes but I do not think believe in some human subjective morality as universe or devine.
Dr. Todd, I have a question. I'm studying psychology in school now, and I'm doing the paper on antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy. My question is, that they are different disorders, so why is psychopathy not exactly listed as a disorder in the DSM-5? It's only listed as a specifier antisocial personality disorder. I guess I'm just a bit confused, why is this, when there are key differences between the two?
Alcaeus89 No. The 1-3% of the population diagnosed were mostly found in prison, but most with it don't go to prison. Most laws are written to criminalize lifestyles so the prison industry can make money from government handouts and slave labor, not to protect anyone.
This video is most instructive and interesting. I respect your scientific research and do not disagree, good doctor. However, I am but a simple man, and must live by simple rules (right or wrong -- it doesn't matter): 1. Psychopaths are born that way. 2. Sociopaths are the ones made that way by circumstance. 3. Narcissists are like pathetic solipsist junior-grade psycho/sociopaths. 4. These aspd cluster/spectrum types are dangerous and destructive to regular people. 5. These people are hard to spot for ordinary folks. 6. Recognise that these types are on a graded scale and can be "better" or "worse." 7. When it is discovered that you are dealing with one of these types, one must completely divest and dissociate as soon as possible. 8. These people cannot be cured, but are able to be taught rigid discipline as youths, and so can be potentially "saved" from being absolute monsters as adults. 9. Hare Checklist. 10. Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees...Don't disregard each tree just because it's in a forest.
Wayne Taylor you clearly misunderstood literally everything. Psychopathy = ANTI SOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER. That’s the DIAGNOSIS that if falls under in the DSM.
Beautiful Explosives this is not correct. ASPD is the DSM-5 diagnosis. It can be used in any clinical setting. Psychopathy, factor 1 or 2, is a determination made from using a specific scoring tool (e.g., PCL-R) in a forensic setting.
Would you say that some of the psychopathic traits, such as ruthlessness and fearlessness, are things that I am born with? I will need to utilize certain combinations of personality characteristics which might make me higher up the psychopathic spectrum than average…
i’m no sociopath, however i should be, by the way my birth giver dragged me up, google me Joe Peters. Author, my younger brother thomas is psychopath tried killing me, as i battling my demons and went on to write books and help others, spiritual person I am as you see from channel, we don’t turn out bad.... i’m made it x.I went onto write best selling books, Cry Silent Tea and a second book Cry Myself to Sleep. I have now work in spiritual forgiveness and healing.
Nick Marquez yes. Look at his audacity. But it is ok as self-promotion is a mild thing compared to crimes like rape and murder which sociopaths can do. BTW, it is true, Harper Collins did publish his books and he is indeed easy to Google.
So, if my brother has nearly every characteristic on that list of psychopathic traits, does that mean that he has psychopathy? He's in his early thirties. Can he outgrow it?
LL T it means that he may be a psychopath. You don’t outgrow it. Psychopaths are not all like they are portrayed in movies. Many with ASPD and psychopathy run businesses, are doctors, teachers, etc...they just have issues that should be dealt with in order to maintain relationships, etc...
you are delivering valuable information, but please focus on AUDIO, use better microphone, use a software like ADOBE AUDITION for EQ. Currently lot of white noise in your audio.
Antisocial Personality Disorder, Ohhh great! just as I thought, I also have an Hon/Degree in cognitive psychology, and worked out our Next door Neighbour has "Antisocial Personality Disorder" , he ticks (all the boxes of citria (A) ), what's worse he has targeted us/me for destruction, so to speak. He puts cameras pointing at our house, leaves porch lights on all night, hoping it will cause us problems, spayed over our wall with (roundup) and killed a tree, Lie without a blink to your face. goes around other here, and attempts to turn everyone again ,e/us with utter lies. He also wants to get the police to take my Guns away, so he came around raging in a temper at 70 years old, shouting at my wife, kicked her out the way and she is 75 years old, and forced his way onto our property, told me to go and get my POP, POP, and shoot him, " I told him he would be killed if I did" he said He did not care, as I would do 25 years, for doing it. The guy is completely insane. I ended up getting the police to him, who made him sign a document stating, " anymore complaints from us about him and his aggression behaviour and he will be in serious trouble" ! Problem is these types have no regard for self others, and authority, so I am half expecting at some point, he will stew and boil up again. and do something else. If we ignore them/him completely, that makes him rage, as we will will not engage him or speak at all to him or his equally nervous wreck of a wife, we treat him like they are Ghosts. This seems to make him worse, as he cannot get at us, so to speak. Problem is he is liable to keep upping the anti, which could leave some very serious end results, like death or serious injury; This is my concern, as he stews, and schemes, plans ways to antagonise, and aggravate. I am not moving because of him, but as they say, if someone crosses that red line, and he does something like this again, I am liable to set our guard Dogs on him, and they WILL make a real mess of him. After all, who on earth barges a 75 year old woman out the way, in an irrational rage, forces entry onto your property, in shorts, wearing flip flops, knowing the woman's husband has an AK47, and several semi auto pistols, and two huge 160lb guards dogs on the property, WHO would do that but an irrational insane lunatic. I am worried because they do not know when to stop, and unless you kill them or they kill you, it may just keep escalating, and I do not want things to get that far, but as they say he seems half intent on driving it in this direction! These types should NOT be permitted in a normal social community, they are the cancer generating disharmony, trouble, and problems. But today the so called Nanny state seems to be increasingly throwing those who they profess to protect under the bus, as it were! Leaving us to deal with it, and when we do, your the criminal. But, I have said for a long time now, the system is run by utter psychopaths on some twisted self destruct mission for everything, everybody, and theirselves !
Interesting. I've wondered why Trump is not characterized as having Pychopathy rather than NCP. My assumption is that NCP sounds a little more 'polite' so mental health practitioners are more likely to use that phrase rather than the 'loaded' one that clearly applies.
In my criminology class, I was taught that anti, psycho, and socio are all the same exact thing, but psycho tells you if their behavior is biological and socio tells you if their behavior was developed through environmental experience. Anti is what the person truly has either way. Maybe that's just the way criminologists classify it to make it easier on themselves but I figured it couldn't be that simple...

In very simple terms, sociopaths behave like children, while psychopaths behave like adults.
A sociopath is "innocently" harmful or reckless. YOU, as the third party, have a clear understanding that their actions are either "right" or "wrong," but the sociopath doesn't.
Psychopaths, on the other hand, are capable of emulating those around them, just like "healthy" adults do. They don't necessarily hold the same values of "right" and "wrong" as the third party observer does, however, the psychopath is aware of what the observer expects and will accept in a given situation.
The actions of a psychopath are based on the expected emotions of those around them, whereas a sociopath never considers the emotions of others.
Sociopathy is passionate, whereas psychopathy is logistical.
I don't see why the debate between the two continues.
Did they do something impulsively without forethought? Then they're a sociopath.
Did they conceive of and carefully execute a plan over days, months or years? Then they're a psychopath.
I work with a psychopath fits perfectly into Factor 1 I actually find him really interesting we manage to piss each other off a lot he would be someone really interesting for you to meet
I know someone will probably correct me on this, but psychopathy simply sounds like a mixture of some of the traits from anti-social and narcissistic personality disorders together...
Thank you so much!
I drew APD for a report in Abnormal Psych, and my Professor is brilliant but he’s an old timer, and thinks sociopaths and psychopaths are synonymous, so I wanted to bring some new info (with sources of course) into the class discussion. Very concise.
I appreciate it! ✌️
Antisocial personality disorder very literally describes regularized method of social participation, whilst psychopathy includes means to ends, which is categorically different. There is a clear limited intersection.
hello Dr. Grande!!! i’ve been hyper fixated on your videos for months! i have quiet bpd and i just broke up with my ex who told me that he had factor 2 psychopathy(sociopathy), ADHD, substance abuse, and narcissism. thank you SO MUCH for giving me insight in my relationship and within myself. your information probably is more helpful than you could ever know. thank you. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Finally someone who does research from reliable sources theres so many people just saying they are narcissistic and just mixing the names up like please people do research before you make a vid and people paint them to be the villian they shouldnt because you dont know what they go through.
Great explanation. I am quite fascinated with psychopathy, so I hope you’ll do more videos on this topic.
Thank you! There are many more videos on psychopathy to come.
Thank you very much sir for the material. The psychopathy doesn't always manifest into factor 2 traits. This depends on upbringing. This would be a pro social psychopath but yes, a primary can have factor 2 traits.
Can you do a video on Depression & the somatic symptoms? I know it's similar to videos you've made in the past, but mainly regarding how do people with Depression talk. Word count in conversation decreases, lack of eye contact, etc. In a clinical setting what are the most telling physical responses that a Depressed person may give that is very telling.
That is an interesting topic idea - I will add it to the production list - thank you!
I read - psychiatric notation - that psychopathy was just and old term used, then later sociopathy and now/today we use ASPD as the official terminology when describing dyssocial personality disorders.
Also I noticed certain traits you described in factor 1 and 2 with their facets. Some of these traits also overlap each other across both factors and facets, and can therefore not exclusively be limited facets to factors, hence why some professionals doesn’t use psychopathy and sociopathy in their terminology today but rather use the diagnose ASPD with multiple crossover facets to distinguish the specific individual analysed.
They should really break them into two disorders in the dsm
@Dr. Todd Grande
Sociopathy is an old term that was introduced to describe behaviors that deviate from social norms or are harmful in nature.
The term psychopathy was introduced in 1923 by Kurt Schneider, who described abnormal personalities that were harmful either to themselves and/or to others. This means that psychopathy is just an older term for what is now known in the ICD-10 as a specific personality disorder.

Doctor how dangerous is antisocial personality do you really want to be around people?
I am an addiction counselor working in a methadone treatment center. I am here educating myself for a session with my antisocial personality disorder. The patient uses profanity because he has free speech in America, but he respects me and he listens to me. I want to help him understand the norms of society and pray I possess the skills. He is one of several substance abusers I work with. Bipolar I and schizophrenia are my other two challenges. I am so...I keep a DSM-5 at work and one at home.
I am a person with apsd, it depends on how severe the disorder is to determine how dangerous the person is, I hate people, I need them around me though in order to do things in my life such as work and thrive so I prefer them to be there, that’s not the same for everyone, but it’s common.
This is helpful since my high school research topic is psychopathy and when I research more I got more confused with information
Truly........a superb video!
Thank you Dr. Grande 👍
You’re welcome!
As far as psychopathy I refused the test. I did however go through the MMPI, extensive interviewing and inkblot. They diagnosed me with antisocial personality disorder and recommended the PCLR at which point I withdrew my consent for testing. I was also in a forensic setting during this time and soon after released. I felt if I had scored high enough on the PCLR it would effect my consideration for release.
Daniel Staley you should have more sympathy for your future victims. By not taking these tests you are showing further selfishness and criminality. Stop it. Have a heart and a conscience. The human brain is not 100% mapped. Maybe you have this potential to be selfless even now. Try.
@@Indusxstan why be selfless to the point where it puts yourself in a bad position.
This aint it chief
Romi Dogra why though, no one gets what they deserve for a reason. If you ask me he should take what he thinks he deserves
My brother fits very snugly into all four facets of Psychopathy. Growing up we thought he had ADHD but now that he’s getting older, it’s looking more and more like something else.
It took me the weekend to absorb and digest this video!! I like the style in which you delivered it Dr Grande as it was in neatly wrapped bitesized chunks of info!! My neurons have processed and understood it.. but only just!! ☺ Thank goodness that Psychopathy has a higher percentage of Antisocial behaviour than the other way round!! I'd be waking up in cold sweat at 3am making plans to build a panic room!! Not a good look to walk past your neighbour's window with a shovel slung over your shoulder at that time in the morning eh Dr Grande.. 😮 Thanks for a brilliant video.. You packed and provided a variety of relevant and important information into a 10 minute time slot that made sense at the end!! Next week Nuclear Physics!! Thanks Again!! ☺
You are quite welcome!
Dr. Todd Grande! Thank you for this explanation.
Hello Dr grande, I am a new subscriber and also a medical student from the Indian subcontinent. I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, however I do have additional psychotic symptoms of delusions, hallucinations, auditory, visual and sometimes tactile, as I can't find much literature on this odd combination, would you please be kind enough to shed some light on the matter ?. Thank you so much. Love what you do. :)
DR Todd, you are the Best !
Thank you!
This channel is a gem 💎
So complex,I’m totally in a fog,and so scary this disorder and traits are.
Very informative and reliable info thanks!
Dr Jim Fallon says that not all psycopaths are narcissistic while Dr Ramani Durvasula says that all psycopaths are narcisstic ? Who is correct ?
Thanks I'm forever trying to explain to people that ASPD is not automatically psychopathy . As someone dx with Aspd if I ever mention it people assume I'm suddenly going to kill them (thanks Hollywood) or try to con them. I'm relatively self aware and I don't spend every hour of the day hunting for others to hurt lol. So thank you for informing others of the distinct differences. Personally after years of researching the subject I'm inclined to view Aspd as more of a spectrum especially when using the FFM
Thank you so much for the clear and elaborate explanation!
I am learning so much..
In denmark it's the exact same thing, which it also is. same symptoms anyway
what is the difference between factor to psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder also why do most researchers not use the term Socio path anymore
I was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder as soon as I turned 18
I've got it to mate with phycotic tenancies do you take any meds
@@morganprothero7511 no.
I am 17, most of the internet tests say that I most likely have ASPD, I plan to take a test from a actual mental health expert as soon as I turn 18
Who cares!
@@blreyes2820 lol
I think of it as antisocial personality disorder being broken down into which factors and facets that are the strongest in the person to be the dominant area of disfunction. Such as interpersonal or social. Then you may notice the symptoms or signs with cluster B. Histrionic, BPD, ect. Idk just my thoughts or opinion so far. Thank you Dr Grande.

what is the relationship of a psychopath or narcissist with God?
Why we can have cluster A - B - C personality traits but not antisocial ones? In other words, which is the difference between Antisocial Personality Disorder and antisocial traits?
I think I might have antisocial personality disorder and i'm finally gnna go to therapy after being recommended by a professional. I don't understand sadness, how to act sad, or why people get so worked up with emotions at all. If i'm being honest I've never felt love before only excitement that people would give me sex, food, money, and relief for my short term necessities and goals. I have a girlfirend of 4 years now and I couldnt once say that I actually felt something inside of me before I could say is love. I'm curious where this therapy will go and how long i'll be able to put up with it before he finds out what I've told an actual therapist in the past about a horrible crime i've comitted but i'm less worried as i've gotten past that with my psychiatrist of 6 years now and other therapist that i one offed for even trying to snitch on me.
Thank you so much for this. Your videos are teaching me so much!
Thank you for the explanation.. In this very complex topic..
So can a psychopath be born ? I know that’s a very debated topic but I’ve seen so many videos of professionals who claim that there’s science to back up the claim. What’s your insight on that ?
All psychopaths are born. Sociopaths are made
@@tribal_instincts Psychopaths do not have to be born! IF you have the genes for it, and something triggers it before puberty or while starting of puberty it can also develope then, even if you have felt empathy as a little child
Did you know some kids with autism have to be taught how to have empathy.
Nike did you know that every individual has to be taught empathy? If it’s not sensed it will not be implemented as info into the brain.
@@tribal_instincts The Gotham series finally was depressing.
Im pretty sure i was an ASD sense i was kid around age 6.I violated allot of social norms (i stole allot of stuff like money,toys and phones and i watched tv allot exp horror movies and porn ) ,i lied allot,i was impulsive,aggressive,irresponsible,and lack of remorse,and other kids would avoid me or if i would have friends they would neglect me in short period of times,i would be teased in school by other children cuz i was different and when i got pissed i would answer with a punch or a scratch to a face or an eye with my nail's and i still dont feel regret about it at all,at one point i pointed a knife at my sister and i was planing to murder my father for moths until my mom found out and stop me.I started smoking and drinking at age 16 and i used drugs when i was 17.Just now at age 28 i realized what was going on with me.I never knew about this so i went to a Psychiatrist to do a Psycho Pass test ( cuz my close friends made me do it.One has Autism and ADD, and the other one is High in OCD and is a Narcissist and i was bored ) and yea i got a High Impulsive ,High Aggression and im a High functioning Sociopath,she even laughed when she got relief'ed after she told me im not a Psychopath but her aura changed after my test was done,i could see her fear and feel it ,but i just stayed cool around her ,i guess its not easy to think one sec that the person is normal on a look of an eye and then change to scare mode but what do i know,its a normal reaction of ppl i guess,but it was amusing to me to see her like that ) .Im married of course but i have no kids just yet.I try to live like everyone else on this planet but its hard when u have ASD.I dont have empathy for others feelings and i dont get attached to anyone thanks to my alcoholic Narcissistic parents.I hate ppl and its rare that i find someone to be close to but even then i get bored fast from them or they neglect me cuz they notice im off ,but i dont blame them.If something irritates me i break and throw stuff around like chairs ,laptop keyboard and breaking tables,i get aggressive in seconds if someone raise their voice at me and i attack them full force.The only emotion i exp is anger and sometimes sadness but mostly i feel empty inside.I dont like sharing this with ppl but i guess i made my point of what i am really.I didnt kill anyone yet and lets hope it stays that way.Thanks for this video Dr.Todd.
I hope things are looking a bit better for you. Just so you know you’re not on your own in this. I’d put good money on the fact that a lot of people around you probably feel some or many of the things you do too. You’re not off, so don’t let that be an excuse for people to treat you poorly. If you’ve been good to them and they dish you back shit, walk away and don’t look back.
You sound like you know well the difference btw wrong and right and you clearly can see where u go wrong, so that’s the battle pretty much won. Many people can’t see or won’t ever admit to the horrendous way they treat others & will defend to the death & take it to the grave ever before they can begin to admit it to anyone, regardless of what it costs their victims. I know lots of these so called “healthy” people.
So what I’m saying is that ur already miles ahead IMO. Acknowledgement means u can change if you want to. Some don’t get that chance I guess, or even want it.
I have problems w my anger too sometimes. I get overwhelmed with emotions when certain people close to me have walked over me like a doormat. Sadly because I’ll yell or scream when they’ve tried to lie to my face or gaslight or refuse to take responsibility/reach common ground, they end up being innocent victims and I end up crucified. But I cross the line when I’ve raised my voice or slam doors in terms of what’s acceptable in society today.
So in that sense I suppose I don’t feel remorse for lashing out.
I know it’s wrong but my motivation for changing isn’t because I’m sorry for them. I know I shouldn’t do it but I also don’t think people should be allowed to get away with manipulating and lying to otherwise honest people so they can get away with hurting others.
I’m sick of letting assholes get away with being assholes and the longer I keep reverting back to anger, the longer they get to be wolves in sheep’s clothing. Anyways just letting u know I feel you & that I relate to a lot of what you said & I’m not diagnosed and supposedly “normal/healthy” according to several psychs I’ve seen. I don’t think I’m off, but I know where I’m going wrong and sure the motivation for change might be wrong but at least I’m trying.
I now believe that “normal” doesn’t exist so don’t let anyone else make you feel inferior because believe they themselves superior.
Character deficiency/personality disorder, same shit, different day IMO
I love your channel it's so interesting and informative
HI. I ask a question: I was rated 22/40 on the PCL-R, divided into 11 in factor 1 and 11 in factor 2. I also have ADHD. How does this classify me? psychopath? antisocial?
I can't understand it because I have neither the tendency to continually violate the laws, like antisocial people, nor the extreme emotional coldness and wickedness of psychopaths (however, despite ADHD, I certainly have more emotional coldness than all people I know. but I can't say that I am 100% immune to fear nor that I tolerate stress well, precisely because of ADHD. Let's say it depends on the situation).
for the sake of completeness I would add that in terms of narcissism the traits I have most are grandiosity, lack of empathy and envy, but I have never had a particular need for admiration.
Can anyone give me some info? In Italy where I live, these topics are rarely discussed.
👍 great info. Thanks Dr. G
You’re welcome!
What does it mean when you’re cold/emotionally detached from everything and everyone in life but non violent although capable of and often experiences rage and anger?
You omitted Narcissism
Thank you for this very informative video. You answered many of my questions regarding the relationship of these two constructs.
Should be a anonymous help spot,think I need it and more probably(I study psychology to)
What is secondary psychopothy & can someone be a sociopath also or are the symptoms similar?
Dr. Grande, could you do a video explaining how cognitive empathy actually works? Does it mean that when person A sees person B crying, person A understands that person B is upset? Or if they hear someone's voice rise in volume they know that the person is getting upset? Or if they see smell the person sweating in an interview they know the person is nervous? Conversely, affective empathy is automatic and person A feels how it must be to walk in person B's shoes at that particular moment?
Also, could you explain ego dystonic in more depth? I'm confused because I thought that, in general, people with ASPD don't care if they hurt anyone or at least don't have remorse for it. If they care about how their behavior affects others, how can they so easily lie and manipulate others?
Lisa LPH you seem to be rather confused about the empathy/sympathy/remorse/emotions aspect of this diagnosis.
You asked if the person would be able to understand that another person is upset when they see them crying. Of course they can *understand* that. Of course they can understand that someone is getting upset or angry when they hear someone’s voice rising in volume. Having no Empathy doesn’t mean you’re not capable of being able to know that 1+1=2. Why would someone with ASPD not be able to know “a person crying = a person is upset” ?
ASPD doesn’t mean a person is stupid lol.
It just means “I see that you’re upset/angry but I don’t relate to that reason/feeling/emotion”. That’s essentially COGNITIVE empathy.
For instance, If I see you fall and break your leg, I’m going to be able to understand that it hurts you but I’m not going to feel it for myself.
It’s the same type of process with emotions and feelings.
Dr I was hoping that maybe we can have a conversation about this, I might be a sociopath
nobody cares. why are you proud of being a sociopath
Miles Davis talking about it is NOT PRIDE, idiot. It is a desire to heal.
Romi Dogra if you have a desire to heal you’re probably not a sociopath. You can’t miss what you don’t have. Only a sense of curiosity and annoyance when you can’t understand. -person with aspd
the desire to heal sounds like esoteric bs.
Some people just want closure and an explanation why they are so different.
Be it ADHD or sociopathy.
You're not one because one would never care about being one or anything
What if an alcoholic man in his 50s has all the characteristics of interpersonal and all the characteristics of affective, except for shallow affect? He will cry over a woman who dumped him for cheating and lying, but it’s really all about him. His show of remorse and self-awareness is short-lived and basically attention seeking. He ensnares women who think they can help save him.
He’s a pathological liar and has libeled one of his targeted victims. Said she was a crazy suicidal stalker. Now he’s posting how wonderful she was (after she blocked him).
Would this likely be a psychopath?
wow, there's a lot to absorb here. Are you talking to psychology students, or those of us who are trying to figure out what types of people were associated with? I see lots of this going on with my in-laws but my head is swirling. Can you narrow it down 1 pathologyology at a time?
You won’t be able to define a person from a set of factors that distinguish an ASPD. this takes several hours of professional sessions to distinguish this. Maybe you need some anti paranoia medication. Ahaha!
What is your take on serial killers who showed no signs of APD in their youth, while you say that psychopathy generally contains also the signs of APD?
Offalz Glace they probably just learned faster than most psychopaths that they are ones so they learnt to hide the signs at an earlier age
Hello dr grande what if someone has traits of both factor one and two psychopathy?
I keep scoring high for Sociopathy but I don't lie and I don't believe in materialism. In my psyche report it said I understand my effect on people but I simple don't care, its true but their is complexity to it like I don't believe humans are experimental, they animals and a very destructive one at that, also I always raise baby orphan animals at great cost and inconvenience to myself just because I feel some sort of care or duty to, I love an underdog having said that when I was young and was in some distress due to home life and such I have hurt them in sadistic way despite really loving animals even as a child. What is up with me? Am I a sociopath? I don't really care to hurt anyone in fact I help people at my own cost sometimes but I do not think believe in some human subjective morality as universe or devine.
Bonjour, serait il possible de traduire cette vidéo.merci d'avance.
If not Australia where else would the findings of such a study be representative of the whole world?
What is a cutoff score?
It is a fixed score that is compared to an observed score. It is used to determine if a construct (like a disorder or condition) is present.
Dr. Todd Grande thanks,❤️❤️❤️
Why cant psychopathy be diagnosed as such?
Dr. Todd, I have a question. I'm studying psychology in school now, and I'm doing the paper on antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy. My question is, that they are different disorders, so why is psychopathy not exactly listed as a disorder in the DSM-5? It's only listed as a specifier antisocial personality disorder. I guess I'm just a bit confused, why is this, when there are key differences between the two?
Hello doctor. Is it possible to pay you to answer a question i have.
Sounds like you are comparing and contrasting between psychopath and sociopath.
love your shit man kepp doin what your doin
could society theoretically eliminate the need for prisons, just by treating anti-social personality disorder on a large scale?
Alcaeus89 No. The 1-3% of the population diagnosed were mostly found in prison, but most with it don't go to prison. Most laws are written to criminalize lifestyles so the prison industry can make money from government handouts and slave labor, not to protect anyone.
This video is most instructive and interesting. I respect your scientific research and do not disagree, good doctor. However, I am but a simple man, and must live by simple rules (right or wrong -- it doesn't matter):
1. Psychopaths are born that way.
2. Sociopaths are the ones made that way by circumstance.
3. Narcissists are like pathetic solipsist junior-grade psycho/sociopaths.
4. These aspd cluster/spectrum types are dangerous and destructive to regular people.
5. These people are hard to spot for ordinary folks.
6. Recognise that these types are on a graded scale and can be "better" or "worse."
7. When it is discovered that you are dealing with one of these types, one must completely divest and dissociate as soon as possible.
8. These people cannot be cured, but are able to be taught rigid discipline as youths, and so can be potentially "saved" from being absolute monsters as adults.
9. Hare Checklist.
10. Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees...Don't disregard each tree just because it's in a forest.
I'm New to this subject and I just want to know why psychopathy can't be diagnosed.
Wayne Taylor you clearly misunderstood literally everything.
Psychopathy = ANTI SOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER.
That’s the DIAGNOSIS that if falls under in the DSM.
Beautiful Explosives this is not correct. ASPD is the DSM-5 diagnosis. It can be used in any clinical setting. Psychopathy, factor 1 or 2, is a determination made from using a specific scoring tool (e.g., PCL-R) in a forensic setting.
My son has schizophrenia and he shows all of these symptoms yet he only gets treated for schizophrenia ..why is that ?
Anita Gomez ask his doctor
Sociopathy and ASPD have been separated
SZBall not in the DSM...
Would you say that some of the psychopathic traits, such as ruthlessness and fearlessness, are things that I am born with?
I will need to utilize certain combinations of personality characteristics which might make me higher up the psychopathic spectrum than average…
i’m no sociopath, however i should be, by the way my birth giver dragged me up, google me Joe Peters. Author, my younger brother thomas is psychopath tried killing me, as i battling my demons and went on to write books and help others, spiritual person I am as you see from channel, we don’t turn out bad....
i’m made it x.I went onto write best selling books, Cry Silent Tea and a second book Cry Myself to Sleep. I have now work in spiritual forgiveness and healing.
Talking to the dead Shameless promotions.
Nick Marquez yes. Look at his audacity. But it is ok as self-promotion is a mild thing compared to crimes like rape and murder which sociopaths can do. BTW, it is true, Harper Collins did publish his books and he is indeed easy to Google.
Do you mean “shallow affect” and not “shallow effect?” Basically referring time facial expressions?
So, if my brother has nearly every characteristic on that list of psychopathic traits, does that mean that he has psychopathy? He's in his early thirties. Can he outgrow it?
LL T it means that he may be a psychopath. You don’t outgrow it. Psychopaths are not all like they are portrayed in movies. Many with ASPD and psychopathy run businesses, are doctors, teachers, etc...they just have issues that should be dealt with in order to maintain relationships, etc...

9:01 - 9:12 video in a nutshell
you are delivering valuable information, but please focus on AUDIO, use better microphone, use a software like ADOBE AUDITION for EQ. Currently lot of white noise in your audio.
Antisocial Personality Disorder, Ohhh great! just as I thought, I also have an Hon/Degree in cognitive psychology, and worked out our Next door Neighbour has "Antisocial Personality Disorder" , he ticks (all the boxes of citria (A) ), what's worse he has targeted us/me for destruction, so to speak. He puts cameras pointing at our house, leaves porch lights on all night, hoping it will cause us problems, spayed over our wall with (roundup) and killed a tree, Lie without a blink to your face. goes around other here, and attempts to turn everyone again ,e/us with utter lies. He also wants to get the police to take my Guns away, so he came around raging in a temper at 70 years old, shouting at my wife, kicked her out the way and she is 75 years old, and forced his way onto our property, told me to go and get my POP, POP, and shoot him, " I told him he would be killed if I did" he said He did not care, as I would do 25 years, for doing it. The guy is completely insane. I ended up getting the police to him, who made him sign a document stating, " anymore complaints from us about him and his aggression behaviour and he will be in serious trouble" !
Problem is these types have no regard for self others, and authority, so I am half expecting at some point, he will stew and boil up again. and do something else. If we ignore them/him completely, that makes him rage, as we will will not engage him or speak at all to him or his equally nervous wreck of a wife, we treat him like they are Ghosts. This seems to make him worse, as he cannot get at us, so to speak. Problem is he is liable to keep upping the anti, which could leave some very serious end results, like death or serious injury; This is my concern, as he stews, and schemes, plans ways to antagonise, and aggravate. I am not moving because of him, but as they say, if someone crosses that red line, and he does something like this again, I am liable to set our guard Dogs on him, and they WILL make a real mess of him.
After all, who on earth barges a 75 year old woman out the way, in an irrational rage, forces entry onto your property, in shorts, wearing flip flops, knowing the woman's husband has an AK47, and several semi auto pistols, and two huge 160lb guards dogs on the property, WHO would do that but an irrational insane lunatic. I am worried because they do not know when to stop, and unless you kill them or they kill you, it may just keep escalating, and I do not want things to get that far, but as they say he seems half intent on driving it in this direction! These types should NOT be permitted in a normal social community, they are the cancer generating disharmony, trouble, and problems. But today the so called Nanny state seems to be increasingly throwing those who they profess to protect under the bus, as it were! Leaving us to deal with it, and when we do, your the criminal. But, I have said for a long time now, the system is run by utter psychopaths on some twisted self destruct mission for everything, everybody, and theirselves !

Thank you Taco Bell Grande 🌮🌮🌮
Interesting. I've wondered why Trump is not characterized as having Pychopathy rather than NCP. My assumption is that NCP sounds a little more 'polite' so mental health practitioners are more likely to use that phrase rather than the 'loaded' one that clearly applies.
Sounds like the former guy.

I believe the theory that psychopaths are born as sociopaths but have been traumatised as children.
As a psychopath, no.
