In this video Andrew Heaton and I discuss the differences between psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists is crucial for recognizing distinct behavioral patterns and psychological traits. Psychopaths, typically diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder, exhibit persistent antisocial behavior, lack empathy and remorse, and often display superficial charm and manipulative tendencies. Sociopaths, also commonly diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder, are more socially skilled, impulsive, and show limited empathy mainly towards other except close friends or family. Their behavior is unpredictable, and they often struggle with maintaining steady employment or relationships, frequently living on society's fringes. Narcissists, typically diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, have an inflated sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration. They lack empathy, crave excessive admiration, and display arrogant behaviors and attitudes. By distinguishing these characteristics, Dr. Fox and Andrew provide a framework where you can better understand and address the complex behaviors associated with each personality disorder.

I always think the best way of defining sociopaths is that they are created by their environment; usually a traumatic childhood where they have been exposed to high levels of aggression / violence, where empathy is not a factor at all. Dog eat dog where manipulation is a learned survival strategy. With psychopaths, it's something innate.

That's an interesting perspective on the differences between sociopaths and psychopaths.

Methinks I'll skip this, insofar as the psychopath in me knows it's not going to learn anything new, the narcissist in me thinks I already know it all, while the sociopath in me just doesn't care....

@drb3353 Ай бұрын

Well… this is really a great discussion! For cluster B though I think if they have an excellent codependent or enablers, they may never actually have a problem, just project it on others for a lifetime or even a legacy.

@DrDanielFox Ай бұрын

Interesting perspective. I’ve not seen that.

@lorainewilliams4671 Ай бұрын

Perhaps you are referring to people who have a lot of symptoms of the cluster B yet aren't able to be honestly diagnosed with the condition. I don't think the difference matters in the end. Someone wouldn't be diagnosed if they have someone skilled enough locked up for life in the role of the enabler. Enabling comes with "C-PTSD" and that level of sustained fight, flight, freeze or comply puts heavy demand on the nervous and cardiovascular system. This would lead the enabler to be at risk for autoimmune, nervous, or cardiovascular conditions. Eventually the cluster B loses the level of enabling required. I think it can lead to dementia like symptoms in the cluster B themselves.

@@lorainewilliams4671 I agree. The sociopath I was married to for 15 years did not then or now feel, suffer or think anything he did was wrong. At times he had mandated psychiatric care and he was misdiagnosed as BPD and used that to his advantage to garner sympathy. He wasn’t that smart so he would often tell me his strategy when he got caught. I learned a lot… and survived to tell!

Human brain thinks about itself but a Psychopath or Sociopath hates quiet time because they can not cope with conscience trying to talk to themself.

It'd be really interesting to hear your views on the 'low arousal theory' in things such as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and ADHD - namely that people with those conditions often have an abnormally low level of arousal so do extreme or excessive things to get out of that state. Some believe that the lack of empathy / fear in ASPD (and some people with ADHD) is caused by this low arousal.

What can you do on a daily basis (cluster b): i.e. Borderline personality disorder for gaining "better insight." Daily skills, watch boundaries issues of not imposing on others, but request needs and wants. Different between Narcissist and Borderline Personality Disorder.

Developing daily mindfulness practices and setting boundaries can help improve insight into Borderline Personality Disorder.

I am curious that since psychopaths tend to have smaller Hippocampus & Amygdalas is it possible that if in infancy they were not tended to these parts of the brain were not developed?

@th8257 Ай бұрын

It's genetic and tends to be passed down families. There's probably some overlap with some forms of ADHD where parts of the brain have not developed fully.

@izzyfury8126 Ай бұрын

No one knows who are psychopathic or personality disorders until you encounter evidence by their behaviour eg jealousy or loss which causes vindictive malicious damaging psychological and physical vandalism damage including gossip slanderous destructive reputation lies or exaggeration.

@ramonaharter6407 Ай бұрын

There are a lot of things you can see before that happened for example The psychopathic stare. Can you leave the in-depth analysis to the professional please? Furthermore jealousy is not a criteria for psychopathy.
