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. Psychopathy is not officially recognized as a distinct disorder in many diagnostic manuals, such as the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition), but it is closely related to ASPD and is often assessed with tools like the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R).
