1. What is a psychopath?
Psychopathy is a mental disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deceptiveness.
Psychopaths are highly prone to antisocial behavior and abusive treatment of others, and are very disproportionately responsible for violent crime.
They often manage to pass themselves off as average individuals by feigning emotions and lying about their past.
Currently, there is little evidence of a cure or any effective treatment for psychopathy.
