[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the note text that has been posted so far, he sounds like a psychopath. [/quote]

[b]The correct term is sociopath.[/b] This guy is undeniably a sociopath--he gets very little sympathy from me. Anyone with that level of detached planning to murder his own family (who he admits tried to help him!) is probably also a skilled liar. I don't believe he cut himself with an intention to kill himself but rather to get attention--which he did.

This kid is a monster. He should be jailed for the rest of his life in a facility that also provides counseling (which so jails do have, btw). He does sound like  stone cold incel  without the overt hatred of women part--as someone stated upthread. It's horrific. [/quote]

What do you think is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath?

The overwhelming majority of cutting has nothing to do with suicidal ideation. [/quote]

The designation of psychopath is no longer used in psychiatric parlance. The correct term is sociopath. The former has no legal or medical usage at all.[/quote]

Correct according to whom? The DSM doesn’t use “sociopath” either. Its term is “antisocial personality disorder.” Regardless, I think “psychopath” gets the job done here pretty well.[/quote]
