Psychopath is a term used in psychology to describe a specific personality disorder characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits. This condition is often associated with the broader category of antisocial personality disorders (ASPD), which encompasses a range of maladaptive behaviors.
