psychopathy
Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by persistent patterns of antisocial behavior, lack of empathy, and shallow emotions. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit manipulative tendencies, charm, and a disregard for the rights of others. They may engage in risky or harmful behaviors without feeling guilt or remorse.
The condition is often assessed using tools like the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which evaluates traits such as impulsivity and deceitfulness. While psychopathy is commonly associated with criminal behavior, not all individuals with this disorder engage in illegal activities. Treatment options are limited, and many individuals may not seek help.
