Psychopath, sociopath, or just arrogant? Few people understand the science behind the psychopath and the sociopath. In this full-length masterclass video, psychologist and personality disorder expert Dr. Ramani Durvasula does a deep dive on the psychopath, the sociopath, and everything you need to know about antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
Actually, how about people that have psycopathy, that actually protect people...ever thought about that. Because we can be cognitive and take the piss our of us but we protect people and feel more than the unusual bollocks. I am not full blown. How dare you, the ones like me take hits for other people...not every psycopath is bad...not every person is bad. It depends how you use it. We, the normal ones are used more than sole empaths are...it pains me that no one seems that..
There's a fine line between someone who is overly-confident and someone who has antisocial personality disorder, which is the clinical diagnosis behind psychopathy and sociopathy. Not only are ASPD symptoms and behaviors difficult to spot, it's also far more common than most people realize.
Some of what Dr. Ramani covers....
You just described the WH! You need to start warning the public. Sam Vaknin already did. It's your duty!
- What causes antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) - nature or nurture?
- What goes on in the brain of a psychopath or sociopath - and whether they can feel remorse or empathy
My ex wife, I showed up to therapy, her idea, she already had a relationship with therapist weeks earlier. Like snooze you lose attitude, like why didn't you establish a relationship with therapist 4 weeks ago? Wasn't aware there was a therapist till last Friday. It's all a game. They have zero intention of self reflection, it's about the grift, always the grift. You as normal person , get it, they don't, they can't. They are Incapable of love, human bond, relationship.
- A deep-dive of the signs and symptoms of a psychopath and a sociopath
- How to tell if your friend, coworker, or even your spouse is a psychopath or sociopath
That's the key, repeating the same no remorse no empathy behaviors. Cause they will talk their way out of it easily, one, two three times.
- The latest findings and research on ASPD, psychopaths, and sociopaths
- How to handle a child who is showing signs of ASPD
I am horrified to have connected the dots...23 years of marriage, one chronic illness for me resulting in disability. Cruelty, harm, financial and psychological abuse. Im better now, and see what he has done to me at my worst. I want out but must plan. I cant leave my home.
- How to cope with a parent, co-worker, boss, sibling, or family member who has psychopathic or sociopathic traits
- Whether someone with antisocial personality disorder can recover / be cured
sound like a popular yt psych
“There is no ‘average’ person with antisocial personality disorder. You can find people with antisocial personality disorder everywhere from death row to the best table at the best restaurant in Los Angeles.” - Dr. Ramani Durvasula

Sounds like the CEOs periodically trotted before Congress. They have learned to act like regular humans when reacting to the awful immoral, but legal things their company does to their employees and customers.
@georgehughes3118Some sociopaths have wonderful relationships and are well respected and liked and want to continuously improve and do good. Too many people just want to hear scary things about them and have pre determined notions about them that could be factors in their personalities, but not always bad or difficult. Also, yes they might charm therapists, but they might genuinely just be trying to be friendly and they might not open up and expose things about themselves to the therapists, because they dont want to be forced into legal problems due to them assuming they are dangerous
@Motivate2GreatYes i felt sorry for a h. Person antisocial
Personality D. This person ended up in my home disrupting my house rules or completely ignoring
Has hiv . So since person did not have. An address he couldn't receive the food needed to stay healthy although he is receiving disability checks. Hes broke not what he said in beginning.
I felt sorry for him but after seeing the real person , i wasnt amused. And began a plot to get him out of my life , i
Am not a Dr. So i could only antagonize. Him by asking him to turn down the music at 3, or. 4 am. My neighbors must think im the nut. When i asked him for missing dish ware he yelled at me and asked why i was picking on him
This is going on as i write this , i dont want to call police.
But he must go elsewhere to continue his life im not in a good state as i recently lost my dog and my husband. Im depressed what can i do ive asked him to please leave. He hasnt 3 days of this is really all i want of this unfortunate soul. Im 74. Its too. Uncomfortable . Please let me know how to rid myself of this tick. He is 40 something.. He was very different when i first met him and he was living with a
Senior citizen in the neighborhood that was a mess and i thought or was i not
Seeing things that were obvious or should have been . I really thought i could help him but quickly realized what a serious error i had made. Ive really had it up to here. Why did i do this i must be as crazy as he acts. I hope not. What a bad decision i was wrong ad why should i pay for this nut eating my food i cant afford it he eats his food and mine. How can i get rid of him he refuses to leave and whats worse is i dont think he is taking his medicine
For the hiv he has. When asked about it he says its personal. It just doesnt make sence. He has lied about everything ive asked him about. Its so bizarre to me.
Such a different person before taking recidence here. 🙏😞 Noisy @ 4:00 am Oh yeah and since ive asked him to leave he says im picking on a "poor homeless guy how embarrassing . " 😢
I like her crazy eyes
@outdooraddventureShe's smart. She's attractive that makes her even more sexy in a very classy way. She's probably very fun to be around too
@outdooraddventureThanks!
@JennlovesbarndogIs it over? Why am I sitting in the food court eating a cold pretzel at 9:00 AM? Was it all worth it for a $15 soundbar that doesn't have a power cord?
@dawiszarins2088do we have politician disorder??
@bluewingscenaryStalked though they need to be prosecuted
@Caitlin-r3lWhoever picked those chairs might be a psychopath
@ev1lbunbunWhy do we think they are disorders? Aren't they ordered that way?
@coliennjwelige8359My daughter and my ex-husband do not have no empathy or they do not have no conscience what would you call that
@ReginaAcosta-k3lI got my early training from my father. From what you describe, I believe he was a psychopathic narcissist. I didn’t know, but that was until recently and I chose a man to marry that was just like him. I’m not married anymore, but I’m grateful that I finally have an explanation. 1:43:14
@saoirse9197How do you deal with a psychopath who is a business partner? He has already sucked out all the energy from my friend, has manipulated everybody on his side, keeps mocking my friend, sends him long texts for two hours every night even when he doesnt respond.. how should he get out of this?
@karishmaagarwal3848I think the person I’m in love with has anti-social personality disorder. Are there any success stories of people who have found a way to be happy together? In general our relationship is so perfect but I recently discovered he is a closeted chronic cheater yet he keeps saying I’m the person he loves and wants to be with. We are currently living together and he has talked about wanting to marry me in the past year. He said he’s willing to go get tested for ASPD and get individual therapy for his addiction to tinder/hooking up with other people. I asked him if he’d be willing to take medication if it’s what saves our relationship and he said that he would try it but if it changes who he is he wouldn’t be able to go through with it. I’ve heard a lot of people hate being on antipsychotic drugs. I am curious if there’s a shred of hope for change but am also considering leaving him even though he’s the love of my life and it will be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to walk away from.
@Phantomgirl23118God, dayum! I have one as my upstairs neighbor. Nut case sadistic who lives from the agony of his neighbors. He loves making conflicts and no empathy whatsoever, no switch to turn it off. Who would ever imagine bumping in one? Totally, so many trades hit the targets here. Would be too much txt to write all the things down, but it is solely why i am here and didn't get disappointed.
Sheesh, this is kinda relieving even when i know exactly how this guy is, even when i have never sat down with the person. After so many years, you learn to know your neighbors. I have confronted him, even though i would respect myself as someone else, but this dude is different kind of animal and has no fear nor survival instinct. Bully is mildly said. Outside, he looks like someone very decent person and just by looks, most would side with him than me, me as a foreigner and him as a native to his country.
Of course, understanding the reality changes everything. Close ones, etc, would might be doubtful of what you are going through it is crazy stuff after all. Not very nc feeling with situation where your closeone are doubtful of your saying.
No one would ever accept such actions towards anyone. Wishing talks about when one is as your neighbor, but this really hits the spot!
Jesus is Lord.
Humanism will get you eternal damnation
did i just have a 2 hour therapy session?
@SUPERVIBEMAN2000I don't need to be told that I'm not the only one, I don't need to be told that I'm not alone. As far as what I think or my emotions. I think those phrases are quite dismissive. Don't you realize I have studied many different types of statistics. Just trying to determine my condition.
But also similar people who are in it.
We used to be a type of society that would care about others.
But due to online influencers who talk about mental health disorders many of us have become malicious.
Due to hard wired negativity bias we started seeing others as vindictive.
Based on the types of control or manipulation no one is innocent. Can't you see how everyone is just victims. We are grown adults trying to avoid the boogeyman. Simultaneously saying that everybody else has cooties.
To say that we should not assume, to say that we should not judge, to say that we should not have expectations, to say that we should not prove ourselves, to say that we should not compare ourselves to others, this type of rhetoric is fictitious, especially when taken to extremes and starts to have no limits.
But these phrases have become quite prevalent and prominent and seem to be ubiquitous. It seems like everybody is running away based on the agendas of the scare tactics and fear campaigns. So many people started to put boundaries and walls up with even further restrictions.
People often use lazy labels categorizing classifying traits, attributes and characteristics.
The online influencers tell you what to be aware of, what to look out for.
I'm pretty sure the online influencers, created the fear of influence. So society became even more aware and hypervigilant. Constantly looking out for traits of the psychopath, the schizophrenic, the bipolar, and the narcissistic. And many people are looking out for the red flags while simultaneously ignoring the green ones. It seems to be a phenomenon that fits Carl Jung shadow description. But the real professionals have training education, licenses registrations and certificates. They are the therapists the counselors and psychologists and psychiatrists doing the real work of talk therapy through acceptance-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, rational and motive behavioral therapy, trying to figure out the best prescriptions.
While simultaneously trying to weigh out or advise survival mechanisms defense mechanisms and coping mechanisms. But the thinking patterns and emotions have been a common theme throughout the course of history within countless humans within countless conditions. People speak about fear worry doubt insecurity anxiety depression, guilt shame remorse regret anger irritation frustration annoyance animosity and resentment as if they are always bad wrong or negative or toxic. Can't you see how society and culture have weaponized emotions. But this all started with different types of philosophy and religion. Real world psychology has told us that some of those emotions can and are healthy as long as we have them or relate to them in moderation. The reality is that if we practice autonomy and agency and accountability then we are the only ones who truly hurt us who damage us or who break us. But I guess there are always certain exceptions to that. I'm just done with being labeled as having ulterior motives that I do not have or do not align with my values. I'm tired of common lay people making their best guess at a diagnosis when they do not have the credentials. I'm done being labeled as traits I do not always have. And so anyone's attempt to know me is quite archaic and primitive. I'm led to believe that people including myself are quite inconsistent.
But we can either continue to operate off of defensive heuristics.
Or we can make compassion as a part of our decision.
I believe some psychopathy is genetic, as are most disorders.
@joyclarendon9809The academic discipline call it major in Psycology or Sociology or any related fields in my opinion is full of crocks. Every human has some psychological issues because we all are human. But the way these disciplines present their case as if you started to feel you are some kind of criminal who hasnt committed any crime yet. This Hindu woman i can argue is psychopathic too...
@bushmaster7515She is HOT.😎
@JosephBeno-y1zCan't i interrupt please M have PTSD?
@MeganVest-r5o27:22 you dont meet this type of person, this person just shows up without notice 😉
@josha97969:40 that line strung nicely
@josha9796Dr. James Fallon found he had a psychopathic brain but a loving mother and made it!!
Read his books!!!
She really gets it.
@deborahscott3289What if that patient doesn't have any money for therapy?
@ShaneBonghayaoMan, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Best to half-ass the deal and let it never happen.
@peacockvillage2556You appear to be one of a very few YouTube Psychologists who appreciate it is not always just about narcissists and the sociopath is not the same as psychopath. My mother (of record) was diagnosed by Dr. Cleckley as a high-functioning sociopath while suspecting my father as being similar. I'm seeing this is 2 1/4 hours! It felt like 30 minutes.
@ThomasHuggins-qx4fpShe may talk about this later in the video, but so far she’s not talking about people that do have ASPD but also have impulse control and are self-aware. It’s a small percentage of people. But it’s like they know the difference between right and wrong but they don’t care and like she said we’re very entitled, but they know their actions have consequences so they’re smart enough and aware enough not to break the law or like she said they’re very good at not getting caught because we’re very calculated. And if they have that self awareness and a high IQ even though they might not be able to process and feel those feelings were good at understanding feelings and why someone is having them and articulating them back to people even when they can’t get the words out. So not all people with ASPD our bad people
@Scatty707I would love to join but I can't afford it.
@jmariah001In my experience I would describe someone who's a sociopath as causing severe emotional abuse and mean this in the most extreme saddest way.
@janine9895In my experience I would sum up a sociopath as causing emotional abuse and I mean that in the most extreme most disturbing saddest truth.
@janine9895🤔
@Prestigegroup03MachThis is really interesting. Thank you for having this kind of talk show. I'm struggling to understand whether someone with a personality disorder includes those with Avoidant behaviour styles
@clareatkins3775Maybe the doctor is just hurt from those ppl and events she's invested more than the average I watch all her content and learned a great deal thanks med circle
@karimlittlespernsley2075The doctor is very intuned to her craft there's no doubt about it
But she either had traumatic events
From treating clients because she
Attached to her craft she feels more than just know which makes me think the doctor has ADHD or she's bipolar in a way but honestly she's has the intelligence to control
It or be aware when a moment is
Coming I like this platform and the doctor she's great awareness helps and take you along way
I thought they were called patients not clients
