A Question, That I Can Only Assume, That Has Been Asked Before.
But!, Thus Forum’s Opinions & System Of Belief’s, Interests My Curiosity On A Strangely Serious Subject. Especially In The Form Of Honest Sets Of Self Value, Thought’s And Worth Here In Thus Forum In Particular.
First, Here Are Quick Definitions From GOOGLE.
Psychotic~ ‘Relating To, Denoting, Or Suffering From A Psychosis’.
Psychopath~ ‘A Person Suffering From Chronic Mental Disorder With Abnormal Or Violent Social Behavior’.
Hmm.
Thoughts?.
Especially Within The Topic Of Stigma On The Chronic Thought Of “normal” Public.
A psychopath has a personality disorder characterised by anti-social behaviour. They are exploitative, manipulative, and not infrequently criminal. It is an axis 2 disorder in DSM parlance.
Psychosis is a disorder characterised by hallucinations and/or delusions. Schizophrenia is the best known psychotic disorder, classified as axis 1. Schizophrenics are often a-social, but not usually anti-social.
The fact to be self-centered, often narcissistic and manipulative with others. Lack of empathy is also common. That’s my opinion. I don’t pretend to be scientific.
Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits.
i think maybe psychopaths are more likely to be less remorseful then, if that is what the definition says!
i have heard of psychotic people who carry guilt, remorse wheras apparently psychopaths do not. maybe they justify their actions in their own way in order not to feel remorse, even if the ‘normal’ people consider it to have been a bad behaviour.
For some reason, I have regret occasionally, but never anything I can call remorse. If I had to guess, I’d say it is a manifestation of schizoid personality (I don’t feel it is a disorder any more, but it used to be).
I Find These Different, Opinions To Be Slightly Fascinating.
With A Distinct Different, Slight Same Views It Seems, Everyone Agrees That There Is A More Dangerous Effect Psychopath’s Appear To Carry Than The Shadow Of A Mental Disorder, Or Disorders Without The Need For Any Violence.
Although Something Nudges My Consciousness With The Sharp Reminder That The News Media Loves To Carry Both Troublesome Slight Hindrance To Societies “normal” Traits. With Stories About Both Parties With Crimes On Both Sides Sneaking Around Within Violence & Even Much Worse.
Sadly (Like The Olde Saying Goes), One Bad Apple Can Spoil A Bunch.
I Feel Like I’m Way Off Key Point Though, I Have To Admit.
I was physically violent once when I was full blown psychotic.
I bit the police lady as I was trying to escape the hospital because I believed I will die and wanted to be around people at that time, not enclosed in a small room.
She wouldn’t let go of me.
Is that bad.
Were you ever violent physically when you’ve been psychotic?
