What Causes Psychopathy? 

I think my son was born with it. After having kids my husband's mother unmasked her psychopathy. As my son grew up, I noticed my son was very much like her, despite all the love, attention and firm boundaries I gave him.

"Similar to the way ABA therapy reduces symptoms of Autism..." ABA Therapy is a highly controversial topic within the Autism demographic because therapists have been known to use inhumane, and abusive, methods on the children receiving therapy. The methods include electroshocks, screaming at the child, and taking their special toy away as forms of discouraging them from stimming, not making eye contact, and other symptoms that are completely normal for them, and also necessary for their survival. Do your research before speaking positively about something that's reputed to be abusive to children, especially considering that child abuse is a contributing factor for the development of psychopathy.

Thanks for saying this. In all places they saying psychopaths are born and thats like saying its inevitable and that we as a society can keep being unaware of trying to reduce sympthoms or prevent it.... So sad all people dont want to think most mental illnesses develop because how people are treated....

ABA therapy cannot reduce symptoms of autism, because such a thing is impossible. all it can do is induce trauma and excessive masking behaviour in autistic individuals, both of which are very harmful to people's psyche. this does not in my opinion detract from the prior comments about warm and responsive parenting reducing symptoms of psychopathy in some people, but i would urge caution on your part in discussing issues of autism and neurodivergence in the future. specifically about using the language of illness and treatment when discussing neurodivergence, since it can come off as an endorsement of the eugenicist-inspired ideals of organisations like Autism Speaks and Andrew-Wakeism.

My brother has ASPD and is also sadistic. He was always VERY strong willed, but was mostly a sweet and sensitive child I was pretty close to (He's in his 40s now). My mother and father are both controlling and my Dad beat him and yelled at him a lot. I consider him evil even though our parents and no one else in the family is. All the serious abusers I've known have been extremely strong willed. A strong will can make someone a good leader or it can turn someone into a demon, if they have bad character. In his case I blame 1) Bad parenting 2) The toxic pre-teen male culture he was in and 3) An inherited strong willed personality type.

In my case im not sure if i was born like this or if it was because i was missing human developmental interactions being 3 months old in little flower orphanage and going through the institutionalized system my whole childhood, not to mention Rikers Island at 16 years old.

Thanks, this is really helpful. As a kid I basically was able to completely break down my mother and manipulate her and the rest of my family to get whatever I wanted. I was 4! My parents are nice people, but having a kid with Psychopathy is hard on parents and marriages. I think we are just born this way and it's better to help the kid realize they are different and it is their job to fit it with the herd! Or else, to prison we go!.:-)

Finally a new video 🤩

as someone with aspies, I can attest that it is very hard to tell the difference between the cptsd my parents caused and the autism spectrum stuff. After a decade of research I have no question they are related

Leave the diagnosis to the people who are qualified in this please.

The only thing i have is depression and a bit of anxiety, and mental health strongly runs in my family and i almost died when I was born, and i was abused and abandoned in childhood, so im sorry either full blown phychopath is always caused by all factors, or i must be super human or something.

Same BS about “complex combination of factors” like with any other disorder. If you don’t know say I don’t know. People are wandering in the dark because of such “expertises”. It’s emotional abuse that’s the cause.

Could have delved a bit deeper and give more details as to the causes of this disorder. A bit shallow in my opinion.

Your risk is not being able to read your notes.

I think this platform was one of many that was asked to participate in a hate campaign against me that has now destroyed my life and lasted several years. Someone asked abuser / narcissistic abuse communities on RU-vid to produce gaslighting videos to upset and devalue me. I hope I find out soon who spear headed these events- what has happened to me has not been done to anyone in the United States and I never actually did anything to anyone- someone lied to my local police department and district attorney so nobody would help me- that’s obviously not legal. And I was physically stalked/ harassed- my home robbed over 20 times- My computers & network hacked permanently- Hidden cameras inside my house- I wish someone would understand this can’t ever happen again. I would like people to tell the truth about who did this to me and why? And contacted my family and slandered me so I lost all family and friends- colleagues- I have no help finding out who did this. Why ? 6 years now of daily harassment.

I have a question. How does one get rid of a psychopath? One can get rid of a narcissist by mortifying them. They will never try to Hoover you again. Contrarily it is dangerous to mortify a psychopath. They will become stalkers and have it in for you, FOREVER. So, how does one get a psychopath to leave them alone? Is it ever possible? Especially after mortifying them? Thanks.

So again it has to make sense to bury your entire family rather than stop hiding Brian Buchanan

Come here for an explanation. Stay for the pseudoscience.

She’s a psychopath guys

Everyone who has primary psychopathy was born with it. I am so frustrated, brain abonormalities in psychopaths are so severe and they are so different from 'normal; people. It is a form of neurodivergence, enviroment only decides whether this particular psychopath will be high functioning or not.

That was great! Makes it simple for the more ‘sees things in black and white’ people. You read all the info and laid it out concisely. thank you my dear!!

You are parroting the party line. You have no idea what it is like to be the thing you are talking about.

How do I get tested for psychopathy?

every parent who's kid has psychopathy thinks that their child grew in ''normal'' environment, while actually those parents were doing things that changed their kid's mind. Things like- cursing, not giving logical advice, not rewarding good behavior, not punishing bad behavior, arguing in front of kid, treating child as a family pet, stonewalling a child, watching horror movies while child is present.... Yeah, all those people consider their behavior perfectly normal, while child is literally being tortured.
