HELLO ALL!
THIS IS OUR THIRD POST ON MENTAL ILLNESS AND PSYCHOLOGY MIXED WITH PSYCHOPATHY IS A PSYCHOPATH. THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS IN THE PAST THAT PEOPLE BELIEVED PSYCHOPATHS WERE CREATED. THERE WAS TONS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH BEING DONE IN THE 1950’S -1970’S AND TESTING WENT AS FAR AS TESTING WITH LSD(ACID) TO SEE HOW THE BRAIN WOULD ACT ON CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS AND UNDERSTAND ITS AFFFECTS ON THE BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR. ANOTHER FASCINATING FACT, IS THAT RESEARCHERS BEGAN WORKING WITH THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WITH ACID. IN THIS CASE, THE MKULtra PROGRAM WERE UNETHICAL BECAUSE THESE EXPERIMENTS WERE DONE WITHOUT THE PERSON’S KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT.
SCIENTISTS/RESEARCHERS EXAMINED CHANGES IN PERCEPTION, SEEING OR HEARING THINGS DIFFERENTLY, THINKING, MEMORY AND FOUND ACID PRIMARILY AFFECTS THE BRAINS AMYGDALA, ITS PREFRONTAL CORTEX (RESPONSIBLE FOR DECISION MAKING, IMPULSIVE CONTROL, PLANNING AND MORAL REASONING. DIFFERENCES HERE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO POOR JUDGEMENT AND IMPULSIVE OR ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR.
IT ALSO AFFECTS THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX, RESPONSIBLE FOR DECISION MAKING. PSYCHOPATHY IS NOT AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS IN THE DSM 5. ITS PERSONALITY CONSTRUCT IS CHARACTERIZED BY TRAITS LIKE PSYCHOPATHY WHICH IS SHOWING A LACK OF EMPATHY, SHALLOW EMOTIONS AND SOMETIMES ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR.
ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER IS THE OFFICIAL PSYCCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS. WHILE MANY PEOPLE WITH PSYCHOPATHY MEET THE CRITERIA OF ASPD, NOT EVERYONE WITH ASPD HAS THE EMOTIONAL AND INTERPERSONAL TRAITS ASSOCIATED THE PSCHOCOPATHY.
PSYCHOPATH IS A PERON WHO SHOWS A CONSISTANT PATTERN OF PERSONALITY TRAITS SUCH AS A LACK OF EMPATHY, LITTLE OR NO REMORSE, SUPERFICIAL CHARM WITH TRAITS OF MANIPULATION. DISHONESTY OR DECEITFULNESS, A TENDENCY TO EXPLOIT PEOPLE FOR PERSONAL GAIN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A PSYCHOPATH IN NOT AN OFFICIAL MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS. MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONIALS INSTEAD DIAGNOSE CONDITION SUCH AS ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER. PSYCHOPATHY IS CONSIDERED A SET OF SPECIFIC TRAITS.
PSYCHOPATHY EXISTS AND TO RATED ON A SPECTRUM.
NOT ALL PSYCHOPATHS ARE VIOLENT OR CRIMINAL. NOT EVERYONE WITH ASPD IS A PSYCHOPATH. RESEARCHERS OFTEN DESCRIBE PSYCHOPATHY USING TWO BROAD GROUPS OF TRAITS.
- INTERPERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL TRAITS
- LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIORAL TRAITS.
