*Dahmer was diagnosed with psychosis and borderline personality disorder. Both of these eliminate the possibility of being psychopathic, but both can have antisocial traits.*
He was determined not to be a psychopath. He was diagnosed with a delusional form of borderline personality disorder and attachment and social disorders
You do realise ‘psychopath’ and ‘sociopath’ are not even clinical terms, right? And whether he felt empathy in general or not, he certainly lacked a degree of empathy in the situation in which he killed his victims.
@@Cvmanuel227 See this is what scares me. Nobody really understands what it's like to be the mentally ill person. They hear symptoms or see a gross over exaggeration on TV and think they're all like that. No. I am a type 1 bipolar with traits of BPD. I can assure you, I feel intensely. I also can't stand violence. Never have been violent. But... I've also been in therapy and on meds since I was 23. Still, I have had friends and loved one's turn away from me when hearing my diagnosis, *without* getting to know me at all. Please be careful with your judgements.
@@briannehawks613 I'm speaking from experience. I know someone with BPD and although they were not violent they literally would create chaos and destroy relationships because of that impending feeling of abandonment. I apologize if it came off as judgemental was not my intention it's really hard to articulate on the Internet.
I saw an interview with a man who had no conscience at all, became a mafia assassin, and described how he liked watching people's look of shock when he stabbed them. At some point, the interviewer rubbed him the wrong way and he asked, "Are you thinking about killing me right now?" and the guy admitted he was. There are some scary people in this world...
Only difference between sociopathy and psycopathy is psycopathy is inherited while sociopathy is caused from childhood trauma. He is a low functioning psycopath is all.
@@Q.T-T psychopaths tend to hide the fact that they are psychopaths. You usually can’t tell if someone is a psychopath since they always hide that fact and act as if they were normal. They manipulate by getting on people’s good side. Meanwhile sociopaths are more impulsive and they get angry and take it out on others and dont really care if people are aware. Psychopaths are more controlled, meanwhile sociopaths are more impulsive and tend to leash out their anger.
@JankyStraw Low functioning psychopaths are impulsive and high functioning sociopaths are calculating, just like high functioning psycopaths. Like I said, they are the same, only difference is one is born and one is made: nature/nurture. They both can be low-functioning/impulsive or high-functioning/calculating.
As much as I know Jeffrey wasn't a psychopath, he was familiar whit guilt and empathy and knew he was doing wrong, but just ignored his feeling for the sake of control and dominant
Hahah. Neurotypicals cant just "ignore" Their feelings and go on a killing spree. You got nothing to back your claims and I'm a nuero-psychiatry expert. Give up
That interviewer have the dead look in her eyes. JD was expecting her to show some response everytime he mentioned something sick but he wasn't getting any 🤣 they like to see the reaction because it makes them feel superior.
@@itsjamilagainHe was clearly pretending. If he cared for real, he wouldn't have killed so many people in the first place and see how calm he looks when talking about his crimes
@@dorkistan6344 Ed Kemper killed people and was clearly remorseful about it. I'm not sure what point it is that you're trying to make or what you're using to back it up.
@@dorkistan6344 Yours is an opinion. Mine is more of an observational deduction based on psychological reasoning in a field I went to school for and also have real-world experience with. Not quite concrete evidence, but certainly more than just using one opinion to discredit another opinion.
I know my name is Jeffrey and every time I say my name is Jeffrey people call me Jeffrey Dahmer I know God damn I hate people calling me Jeffrey Dahmer OK I know he’s a serial killer everybody knows it
@jjanderson4910 embrace it bro don't shy away from it. Do some dahmer sht like make weird noises or make people think about how food is similar to eating people. Just roll with it lol
@@headhonchotheone9041people who are schizotypal have a blunted affect, which means they may show little to no emotions, but this has no effect on what they feel. It’s not fair to say that people with psychopathy have no emotions either, this is a myth. people with psychopathy lack empathy and therefore show no emotions for other people. It’s not that they don’t feel anger, happiness, joy etc, it’s just that they don’t feel empathy.
I always knew my compulsive thieving was wrong. I knew my using drugs was wring. I then knew my lying to men to keep them interested in me was wrong. But I couldn’t stop those things on my own power. It drove me to a very serious no bullshit suicide attempt over the lying to men part. I’m a drug addict and a sex and ‘love’ addict who finally got help from people like me and a higher power that i have accessed deep within. On my own I was doomed to keep doing what I knew was wrong. And, rather than the knowledge that my actions were wrong making me stop, the knowledge only led me to do more of the sane dreadful actions- because those actions helped anaesthetise the guilt as well. This would have to be the perfect example of a vicious circle, wouldn’t it. Oh. My. God
I knew you were SLAA as soon as I read "I knew lying to men to keep them interested was wrong" because normies don't think love could be an addiction, I was in the rooms for a while, kinda "love anorexic" right now so I don't really see any problems with my current behaviors, but I do need to work on being a better person still
I remember watching the documentary and he’s father was like “hey don’t put it on me” 😂😂😂😂 when they used to go hunting and experiment animals 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jeffery is definitely not a psychopath. Psychopaths are extremely narcissistic, they see themselves as perfect and can do no wrong no matter what, and have no regard for others and can be sadistic. Jeffery has said multiple times that he knew what he was doing was wrong, and often said his life was pathetic. If Scarver didn’t kill dahmer, dahmer would’ve more than likely killed himself.
@@cameronboyce6167 I’m a psychiatric nurse. Also it’s not just me saying it, psychologists who’ve interviewed and combed over his records say the same thing.
He’s displaying sociopathic behaviour not psychopathic. Additionally to that he may have also been bipolar, according to a 2022 statement of a psychiatrist. Either way, he can burn in hell.
His brain should have been donated to science to be studied. All serial killers should have their brains examined after death to see if there are differences between a non serial killer and a serial killer. I’m sure that would be fascinating to see if there’s a difference between the two.
And then people act like we do the same thing with the death penalty, meanwhile the death penalty is specifically for these people. They can't be a part of society, and it's more expensive and ultimately pointless to imprison them.
@@Ryosuke1208 good point, and the chemicals are not humane. Seems more brutal, but firing squads and hanging are honestly more painless and effective (and cheaper) than the wierd chems we use. this is because many other countries won't sell the real pharmaceutical poison to the US if it's for executions. that's why we have to source these scary fucked up chemicals to use on our inmates. I'd rather be shot after reading about it.
Actually death row and the appeals process cost much more than a full-life sentence. It’s still present to deter crime. If they went back to public hanging I think it would probably still work to some degree.
Shortly before his murder in prison, Jeff gave his life to Jesus Christ. We have an awesome God we serve. Give your life to Jesus Christ today. He’s hand is right there waiting to help you and forgive you.
He went to great lengths to choose vulnerable targets and to cover-up what he was doing, except towards the last month or so where he lost control and his mental health deteriorated due to factors like losing his job and being handed an eviction notice by his landlord. He knew what he was doing was wrong. It was evil of him not to tell anyone and ask for help. He regularly saw a psychiatrist, probation officer and went to group therapy. Yes it was an addiction, but it’s not like trying to cover up a drug addiction, he was k1lling people! Drilling holes in their skulls and pouring dilute acid or hot water. Drugging people. R@ping people. Eating people. Beating people, children up (Konerak had been beaten-up/bruised). He definitely had anti-social personality disorder (sociopathy/psychopathy), among other things. He was both sick and evil.
He did actually try to ask his dad for help multiple times but Lionel wasn't really interested he was eother ignorant or didn't understand the gravity of the situation until Jeff got sentenced for the first loation boy. Lionel wrote to the judge to get Jeff help and said he fears his sons actions might be detrimental to other people but Lionel was ignore and Jeff had killed at least 2 people at that point.
@@nicolewarner2360 He didn’t ask his dad for help. Other than cutting-up and preserving already dead animals, their skeletons, which understandably can be interpreted as scientific curiosity, Lionel had no idea about the more gruesome things Jeffrey was doing. Jeffrey literally talked about how he had to do a lot of lying, hiding and covering up. “His own secret little world where he had complete control”.
@Mel-jy3kq so you are correct in that Lionel didn't know about jeff Killing people, but in his book, he states "I know jeff was up to something sinister but I didn't want to believe my once happy child had turned into something unimaginable when I look back now jeff had tried to ask me for help on multiple occasions and and I can't help but feel if I had listened to him would he have became this monster" is this my fault?" From reading his book it's really clear that Lionel was very similar to jeff as a child and because Lionel was able to over come these obstacles in his life without the intervention of his parents he thought jeff could do the same.
@@nicolewarner2360 And even then, his dad really wanted Jeffrey to get psychological help and tried hooking him up with psychologists. Yes this was when Jeffrey was in his 20s but many murders could’ve been prevented. Jeffrey came into contact with many professionals including mental health professionals. He was too selfish and his own pleasure came before the lives, feelings and dignity of others. Lionel wasn’t able to handle Jeffrey’s issues, Jeffrey needed professional help.
I don't know that Dahmer was a psychopath. I think he only scored 17 out of 40 on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which is high compared to the average person, but still subclinical. His behaviour might be explained by a concoction of personality disorder traits, including schozotypal (e.g. his weird beliefs and fascination around death)
he was neither. He made it abundantly clear that he never enjoyed hurting or inflicting pain on people, he got satisfaction after the victim were already perished and he always made sure they didnt suffer (too much).
coz sum peeps need story’s to write movies about cousin it’s cheaper documentary than twilight coz is public pbs just like Sesame Street & contemplating the evol of all sums of EGAT 2
