is psychopathy a disorder that cant be treated? their is alot of speculation that this is true?

Question

what does anyone think?

Answer 1

I am of the opinion that ANYTHING can be treated. However, there are some things we just haven't found the successfull treatment for yet, and I tend to think that this is one of them.

I study spiritual matters a lot. Subjects and concepts like reincarnation, attached entities, simultaneous lives, etc. As a student in these subjects, I tend to believe that this is where the answer(s) to what we currently see as almost unsolvable problems like this will eventually be found - but certainly NOT until "orthodox" psychology and psychiatry recognize their validity and importance.
This is my own theory, but it is JUST that - a theory:
Guilt is the most painful emotion I know. I would rather be feeling grief, anger, sorrow, fear or almost ANYTHING ELSE than guilt, and I do not really think I am the only person who feels that way. Of all the unpleasant and painful emotions, guilt is the hardest to live with and the most difficult to get over, and I would hazard a guess that it probably causes more suicides than all the other negative emotions put together. The song says "I'd rather be the hammer than the nail." but would we, REALLY?
It is my personal belief that the sociopath is someone who is SO AFRAID of guilt (on a purely UN-conscious level, you understand) that he/she has sub-consciously, completely shut off the ability to feel it at all.
I have observed a personality type I call "The Emotional Ostrich" (for that big bird's tendency to hide it's head in the sand whenever it feels threatened) that I believe to be a lesser gradient of this same problem. The "Emotional Ostrich" also fears guilt, but has a different way of avoiding it. This group IS still capable of feeling guilt, but fears it so much that they live in denial of it. They deny it - "Oh, that person I hurt isn't really damaged THAT much." They justify it, "He had it coming." Or they ignore it, "Don't pay any attention to her, she's just dramatizing." I have lived in close proximity to at least three of these people at different points in my in my life. Whereas the sociopath does not have the capability of feeling guilt, the emotional ostrich certainly CAN feel it,but will go through all sorts of extreme psycho/emotional gymnastics to avoid doing so. The quickest way to make an enemy of such a person would be to try to convince them that they have done something wrong. The quickest way to totally destroy them would be to succeed in doing so.
I believe that this is a gradient step somewhere between normal and sociopathic.

Since most sociopaths exhibit their condition from the earliest manifestations of individual personality - and babies or toddlers have nothing to fear guilt about - I further believe that this comes from a former incarnation.
If this turns out to truly be the case, then it is no wonder that the orthodox psychological sciences have no workable remedy for it. It involves entering and working in an area that they do not even acknowledge the existance of!
If someone, with the ways and means to do so, were to put this idea to the test, I think they would find that by hypnotically regressing the sociopath to one or more former lives in which he/she committed some really horrible act(s) and forced that person to confront and face the resulting guilt, that would "break up the log jam" so to speak, and restore their normal ability to feel guilt and responsibility in this current life.

If there is a successful treatment for this condition, I believe that would be it.

Answer 2

the cause of what i call mental psychotic break syndrome ( MPBS) is cause mainly by something in your memories that is just to dreadful to keep away, see people have this little sub-consciouses part of their brain that stores old memories, things that they don't want others to know and since it's usually to strong to fight it gets the best of them.

becoming a psychotic killer is mainly a switch that is as easliy triggered as most people who've learned ot control it, but that doesn't mean it still won't happen, there're about an 80% chance that someone is going to snap and end up doing damage or harm, just can't look at someone and see it right away it has to happen and it can be anyone i mean anyone.

noone knows for sure when a person(s) will go psycho but what we do know for sure is that there is a cure, but it's not usually hte best one. Most hospitals or psychiatric wards recommend they are put down ( for lack of better word) or just kept locked away in a mental institute forever or until they're "cured" but still they possess the effects if happening again, that's why we're so afraid of helpng those kind of people because they are the most dangerous kinds of weapons around.

Answer 3

The "psychopath" is now called a "character disorder." These people usually end up in a life of crime. The character disorder or psychopath sees nothing wrong with him (usually they are males but not always). Since they see nothing wrong with themselves, there is nothing to treat. They blame their behavior on everyone else or the situation. They do not take responsibility, and as such they see no need to change.

I have met several and treated only a few. They are interesting, but they rarely change.

Psychopathy is a general term and not a specific diagnosis so its hard to say if it could be treated. In general, no matter what diagnosis a person has, treatment would be tried regardless. We do not just give up on people.
