We all know someone with psychopathy.

But few know the truth about it. We’re helping change that… by helping you know the signs. Know about treatment options and resources. And know you’re not alone.
Carrie Barron, M.D., is director of Creativity for Resilience at Dell Medical School and an associate professor in the Department of Medical Education. She is also a board-certified psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and Positive Psychology Coach
She joins us today on zoom to discuss diagnosing people with Psychopathy.
This is the most down to earth, practical, direct and interpersonal explanation I have ever heard in a few short minutes. She got to the point and now I am convinced. Also as she speaks she comes across as a human who had experiences with an internal eye where as many others act like textbook regurgitants.
Thank you for this video! You have such a clear and compassionate way of making sense of the confusion and heartbreak that comes from being in a close relationship with people with these traits.
I dont think they can be changed. They can only be taught to behave in an appropriate way consciously
The first two minutes were like a detailed personal analysis of president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić. Incredible.
do you know any president that this doesn't apply to?
In other words ..your average Politician ..or Banker ..
I have been victimized by a psychopath. It’s upsetting that people cover it up for them. This is my experience. Others cannot acknowledge that it’s happening.
Jeez, these symptoms describe perfectly someone who came into my life and when I realised it it had gone far. Wow these psychopaths are something
My male biological parent was a psycho. I will never call him a father because he never was one.
I've experienced all of this..
Same… 😬
All those points fit perfectly with the current Kenyan president, William Ruto. Psycopathy is an obsession with order and physical satisfaction at the expense of others.
What causes a disorder called “psychiatry”?
I need a quite time im not a psicopath😜 thought im not very good at planning things
Psychopathy is from high testosterone and low cortisol but may involve other hormones or chemicals as well. They are intelligent. Physical signs are large head, bald or balding. Small almond shaped eyes, prominent cheekbones, ring finger is as long as middle finger.
Does addiction play a role in it too??
Addiction can make you a sociopath it’s little different
Thank you. You gave me a good warning. I’ve got a new boyfriend I’m not so sure about.
Trust your gut it never fails
No, just no. Never take a youtube as medical advise. When we talk to people in the medical field, one thing you should take extremely serious is what she said in the beginning, unless you get professional help, YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT be able to know if they are psychopaths. What you hear from the doctor is a textbook answer that for all purposes is politically correct unless you are trained like her, you will NOT EVER understand the nuances that psychopathy has.
I am diagnosed with primary psychopathy, ask me anything.
did you manage to escape the relationship? I'm just going to assume that it was at least as bad as you thought, since by the time people start to notice red flags in relationships in general it's often already very severe.
@@namenotfound8747 yes, but you don't need to actually know if someone is a psychopath or not, you just need to have an inkling that they might be which is more than enough to stay the f away from them
Do they cry or show weakness, funeralbility? What is their emotional spectrum?
Not generally unless they know it will benefit them with regards to the one their communicating with. They have emotion but imagine that instead of feeling bad about something you tone it down by say 95% so they can perceive it but not it's not necessarily going to stop them in the way that negative experience would stop a "normal" person. It varies from person to person and so there is no hard line on the degree to which each person will feel this or that. It's a perception problem in the same way that say someone with Asperger's syndrome can't perceive social cues properly but can observe others and learn to interact through trial and error. The negative responses that most psychopaths develop I'd bet is largely dependent on how they were raised and the environment they live in which is applicable to all people. Truth is there are plenty of people who can perceive others just fine and they still choose to hurt them or to do the wrong things. That's not because their psychopaths but because of their upbringing and culture.
at most they may emulate weakness in order to manipulate others. they have a very limited emotional spectrum, with many emotions simply not existing, but some emotions do. you can check out other videos on this channel to see more examples
If you feel unwell, confused, and in danger in their presence. They have an unevolved brain. Pity them and run!
"they have an unevolved brain" not exactly lmfao
@@crustyfapkin4349 No it's surprisingly accurate, they're primitive, almost animalistic.
I am against psychopaths I hate them all they confuse, dilute and destroy my faith I wasn’t treated fairly and degraded by all of them they are fake family members, fake friends and I’m only grateful for this video and of course nothing less
My mother was recently diagnosed with psychopathy, I thought she had NPD.
Psychopaths are covert narcissists. All these diagnoses overlap.
Hmmm weird cause i do need alot of stimulation and i get bored so easily. But besides that i dont relate to the rest
ADHD brain is constructed in a similar way as of a psychopath, so stimulation and the urge to do something new all the time is a big concern. I’m constantly looking for something new to do and constantly changing jobs and whatnot because of it
@@QuiK075 If you have Psychopathy you likely have ADHD, but the same can't be said for the reverse.
@@JDdr86 I do have ADHD and ASPD (high functioning)
@@QuiK075 Welcome to the club!(ASD+ADHD+ASPD & BPD).
@@JDdr86 Damn, you really went over the line 🤣🤣 stay safe brother!
Sounds like you're describing the narcissist or maybe I was wrong and the person I know is actually a psychopath
Psychopaths essentially seem to have no conscience and no empathy. Narcissists have some guilt or at least shame, and some empathy, just not a lot.
It sounds like a narcissist not a psychopath
You come from Dr. Ramani's channel, right?
Aren't these things down to the psychiatrist's perception?
Yes. It's a perception problem and most of those issues that are pointed out are the result of that lack of perception on the part of the person with the condition. aka those are the problems their likely to run into if their unaware of their own perception problems. Just like "normal" people lack the awareness of how much they are motivated by social status and emotion. aka that is why you see the comments of videos about psychopaths filled with people who are talking about how these people are so dangerous when "normal" people hurt each other for other reasons when they want say a job promotion or don't want to hear another person's views, etc. Those making such comments aren't interested in understanding, just social standing and are putting it out there so they can feel better than the people described in the video and to satisfy their own egos.
❤❤❤❤ 💯 There needs to be 2 people for one of them to have a mental illness. There only needs to be 1 person for having a real illness.
@@legionreavernone of this makes sense
@@legionreaver btw, normal people don’t hurt each other. You are saying that some level of hurt is reasonable or excusable. Only to have a weapon and secretly accumulate that hurt into unbearable torment.
No you are absolutely 10000% wrong about behavioral control. Some psychopaths have incredible behavioral control, hence why theyre disorder can go unnoticed their entire lives. Secondary psychopathy would have the characteristic of poor behavioral control. No, they do not all poor planning. Many people with psychopathy are extremely successful and able to plan and execute conplicated long term goals.
How can you be a psychiatrist if you try to liken psychopaths with people who go through psychosis?! Totally opposite sides of the spectrum. This woman is talking BS.
