"7 signs you are a SOCIOPATH" Psych2Go video - CRIMINAL psychiatrist explains MISTAKES

[@benzapp1]

Honestly, there are many shit mental health channels on youtube. You've done a great to not only correct issues like this, but clarify whom I should trust.

[@APsychForSoreMinds]

appreciated, homie

People often exhibit a tendency to prioritize information that aligns with their pre-existing beliefs rather than seeking objective truths. This inclination can lead people to characterize their past romantic partners as narcissists, reflecting a preference for narratives that validate their own perspectives rather than a comprehensive understanding of the individuals involved.

[@allistairmitchell3845]

Thank you so much! This type of coverage is exactly why I watch your posts - I want the truth. I have a dismal history of dating. I’m the only person I know who carries the DSM-5 in my phone. I’m 70 now. I don’t have any more time to waste on problematic people.

[@rickiemanion5646]

Hello, I just came over from "Profiling Evil". I seen your clip on why more women like true crime. Your answers were spot on!!!

[@carriefloss9937]

You are so brilliant Dr Das and you should have at least 11 million followers

[@xxevilellisonxx]

Oh man I’d love for your take on more psych2go videos, this was great

[@thequietintrovert8605]

I subscribed to that channel because you referenced it in a previous video. I've never been satisfied with the quality of content on their channel (but I also don't consume a lot of their content) and found myself to be slightly repulsed by empathic/emotionally sensitive tone, but that's a quality I can tolerate. My apologies, but I have got food stuck in my teeth.

[@rishaa682]

Just because something is popular doesn’t mean the information is correct. I watched a psych to go video that said that taking baths and resting and doing skincare is “self coddling”

[@Historybuffhere]

Great video! I enjoy your sense of humor, and hope your channel continues to grow. You deserve it!

Difficult to watch this due to the volume levels. The clip you're showing is really LOUD, and you are very quiet.

[@IndigoMasquerade]

I've always believed that anyone can be manipulative, so it's not specifically a sociopathy thing but it might be more apparent with people diagnosed with ASPD

[@22leggedsasquatch]

Me and my dog both enjoyed the video.. well, perhaps it because he was 'coincidentally, hunting the treats that i hid for him around my home.. 😊 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

[@heartdominance]

Psych2Go is like a Cartoon Network, oh wait its also exactly that in the presentation, honestly I find there videos are unethical in light of their lack of deeper rigor and the audience that they have, that’s just a quirk in my personality matrix that operates analogously in many other areas. At the same time that I highlight I’m not a sociopath by expressing that, I also feel a tendency simultaneously within me to not think I’m better than them even though I usually do have my personality matrix setup in a way like many others where there is that “if this” (I.e. sociopath/related) “then that” (how do they even have a meaning for existing and finding greater continuity for their higher existence). And anyone that does believe themselves to be better I think that’s actually a diagnostic criterion for narcissism haha. If I have anything against the construct of sociopathy is that it’s just so incredibly culturally loaded the more objective we want to be and I already judge western culture as an “object” as if it were itself a sociopath, I have no respect for our consumer society which is itself a sociopathic narrative that allows its perpetuation. From this lens, to me it just looks like consumer society is a cult and one of its sociopathic tools for manipulation as cults do is they label rebels as sociopaths. Putting that aside, I have zero clinical experience and two, it seems to me like no doubt even if I’m 100% correct in what I’ve expressed, sociopathy and antisocial personality, borderline personality and narcissistic personality disorder are no doubt correlated. Meaning given how long the construct has been around it’s no doubt got some validity, I’m just a stickler for exactness and it fails many of my tests. On a practical note, the only thing I really care about is empathy and testing for empathy as you rightly talk about, which I would say is inclusive of emotional range but not emotional range exclusively, I have been fooled once, but now I take that learning experience moving forward. It’s that I have been fooled that also makes me that much more of a stickler. I still have a lot of naivety to also get rid of, I’m the kind of guy that can spend a whole week contemplating a moral dilemma while in that same week, perhaps right at the end of a work week, accidentally hand my keys over to a guy that steals my car and it’s the fifth car his stolen that week and for him internally it’s as commonplace as the sun rising the next morning. Meaning the myriad of alternate ways in which people live their lives and perhaps even find significant meaning from those ways sometimes becomes our Achilles heel, our blind spot, where we’re naive about the world by superimposing our projections onto how we believe it “ought” to be or even worse falsely believe that because you’re like this so are others, because you strive for fairness and have good sportsmanship, then so will others. Great video, thank you for correcting Cartoon Network! Peace

[@shekinah1876]

Hi Dr Das, at around the 9:50 mark you say that Anti-social PD aren't manipulative. I am confused as to why you say this as Joanne (?) Dennehy was very manipulative especially with the big fella (her side-kick sadly) and other males, whether by way of sex or other means. And her diagnosis was and still is, as far as I know ASPD. This diagnosis comes from some specialists in the field of psychiatric and psychological health, and forensic psychologists. One is Dr David Wilson (I believe that is his name) he does a lot of evaluations on many crime shows and in his personal career too, of course. That is just one that I enjoy watching. My memory is quite terrible at the moment. I also enjoyed Trevor McDonald and his interviews and shows on the USA dearh penalty cases. Please don't be offended as that is most definitely not my intention. I've just had a keen interest in these fields for quite a long time. I have actually always followed your good self since you began. And I'm quite saddened that your channel hasn't received a lot more subscribers and views. KZbin is a strange place as far as that goes, I guess.

[@Veruska75]

Isn’t ASPD divided into two major groups; those who have gotten it through a life of crime and prison/drugs, etc., and psychopathy which is a more calculating, callous form of ASPD.?

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

That’s something that’s been stigmatized by other mental health channels and grifters who proclaim to be one. Unfortunately, it’s misinformation. The truth is, there isn’t really a consensus of what Primary Psychopathy is because there have never been any cases reported of people born devoid of empathy and engaging in criminal offenses, hence the reason why it’s not recognized by the DSM manual. Instead what we have in it’s place is ASPD, but those types of people are a product of extensive abuse or brain injury during childhood rather than being born that way.

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

You’re referring to Primary Psychopathy and Sociopathy. That’s something that’s been heavily stigmatized by other mental health channels but the truth is, there isn’t really an agreed scientific consensus on what Psychopathy actually is because there have been no cases of individuals being born devoid of emotion and engaging in cr*minal offenses because of it. Most people who did had ASPD but they were a product of society rather than being born that way. That’s why Psychopathy isn’t recognized under the DSM and why we have ASPD in it’s place as it’s similar but they’re not the same thing.

[@Veruska75]

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 Yeah, that is exactly what I mean. Many times wondered how much the state was responsible for Steven Avery having ASPD (and actually murdering that woman) for being in prison innocent all those years.

[@DennisBolanos]

3:37: That part made me LOL.

[@SloppyPotatoo]

I've always had hard time answering these questions. like *lack of empathy*, what type of empathy, all types or towards humans, if so what group. familie, friends, strangers? Like i hope i have empathy i think, but being honest, if its not an animal or a familie member, i could not give less of a fuck about you. is that lack of empathy or is that just a "survival instinct", focusing on taking care / familie members stay safe, than feeling sorry for random people.

[@Catlily5]

You can probably have partial empathy. I don't think that it is all or nothing.

[@vihapiirakka69]

How should I go about getting help if I suspect I might be a sociopath? I'm unemployed and can't afford therapy

[@Veruska75]

How can you say ASPD persons aren’t manipulative?

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

Yeah. Noticed that too and it’s a bit confusing. “Deceitfulness” is one of the traits associated with that disorder. Not to mention he also said that if an ASPD person was manipulative, then they would be considered a sociopath, but it’s to my understanding that they’re generally considered the same thing. “Sociopathy” is just a layman’s way of explaining it but otherwise, they’re describing the same issues. So the explanations in this video are a bit weird.

[@Catsandtren]

From my experience psychopaths don’t have empathy, especially not for close ones like partner etc…

[@Crazydoglady66]

What would you say about a child (8+) who seems to lack empathy, is very manipulative, impulsive, ill-tempered (has a history of being physically aggressive), lies a lot, etc? Can children be diagnosed with APD, or are their brains simply not developed enough to be able to properly diagnose them because those behaviours have a lot of opportunity to change?

[@ScoobyD2]

Would I be correct in saying, that you are a neo Kraepelinian, and also that at least to some degree they are concerned with the occult ( meaning concealed I believe) , seen as I do not recall you mentioning it even once, and yet it is fundamental to your approach

Just an opinion or an observation on my part. It appears that mental wellness has been on a marked decline over the last decade.

[@Nite-owl]

To be fair, I followed my doctors recommendations for my type 2 diabetes and it just got worse. I started researching on my own, including youtube, and I reversed it in under 6 months.

[@22leggedsasquatch]

Dr Berg channel is fantastic for that and other things

[@thequietintrovert8605]

Just curious, what did you find worked best for you in reversing type 2 diabetes? I have found myself looking at diabetes related content on KZbin.

[@Nite-owl]

If you think of Diabetes as a carbohydrate intolerance, it should help. I found Dr Westman and Dr Ken Berry were the the most helpful. I reduced my daily carbohydrate intake to less than 20g of TOTAL carbs daily and tried to make sure I got at least 30 minutes of walking per day, and it brought my glucose right down. I'm now as close to zero carbs as is practical by eating nothing but meat and eggs and it's keeping my glucose levels in check brilliantly 🙂Good luck on your journey, wherever it leads you.@@thequietintrovert8605

[@Nite-owl]

He's definitely one of the informative ones, but he advocates 7+ cups of veg per day and I find them disgusting, personally, so I eventually found Dr Westman, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Mason, Dr Anthony Chafee, Dr Shawn Baker and Dr Sten Ekberg which seemed to offer information that was far more in line with what I personally felt would be right for myself 🙂I also wasn't a fan of listening to a Dr that had supplements to sell us, which Dr Berg does@@22leggedsasquatch

[@markjones1337]

Dr Daz picked a poor example there, I've known 2 people how have reversed diabetes with diet. Unfortunately there's no money for big pharma in a dietary cure.

Love your channel; it's more informative than would-be, "Doctors" - especially in the US who aren't doctors at all. I try to find things from British websites before heading to another country's sites. If it has .gov .nhs etc in the link I'll go there rather than waste time on the obvious 'If-you-eat-twenty-avocados-every-day' your life and mental health will be perfect type of sites.
