10. An irritable, angry, or low mood Hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not really there) that are related to the delusion Apart from the impact of the delusion(s) or its ramifications, functioning is not markedly impaired and behavior is not obviously odd or bizarre. If mood episodes have occurred concurrently with delusions, their total duration has been brief relative to the duration of the delusional periods.

11. Dexter repeatedly takes advice and consults with visions of his dead father, Harry Morgan, who taught him to kill only bad people At one point, Dexter loses his way and sees his brother, Brian, whom he killed. Brian tells him to kill anyone he wants and for a certain point, he does Despite this, Dexter functions normally with others except for a few instances where he is caught talking to nothing when he thought his dad was with him in the room

13. Persuasive Patterns Deceitfulness Disregard/Violation of Rights of Others Lack of Moral Sense/Conscience Impulsiveness Lack of Remorse

14. Dexter exhibits a lack of empathy and admittedly kills to fill his emptiness Dexter’s kills stick to a strict routine by preparing a kill room, walking his victims through their wrongdoings (pictures), and killing with a single stab to the heart. He then disposes of the bodies in the same way every time (cutting up the body and dumping in the ocean) He is persuasive in his methods and intelligent in his methods (never leaves a trace of his kills because of police background and knowledge)

16. Nurture: -Dexter’s earliest memory was that of his mother’s bloody murder and sitting in a pool of her blood for days. He then was nurtured by step father Harry Morgan who taught Dexter a code to live by, only kill people who deserve it. Dexter also experienced the actions of his long lost brother, Brian, who was a serial killer who tried to join Dexter but ultimately, Dexter had to decide to kill him. This ultimately shaped him and kept him on the track of killing only good people

17. Nature: -Dexter’s brother, Brian Moser, was also a serial killer dubbed “The Ice Truck Killer” in season 1. The difference between them was that Brian killed innocent women and left them displayed to the public whereas Dexter sticks to a strict code of killing only bad people.
