Psychopath is a personality disorder defined by a specific set of behaviour and personality trait. A psychopath usually shows a multiple set of behaviours. Does not follow through on promises or obligations and are willing to deceive and break trust of others. Psychopathic traits often have long histories of antisocial behaviour that often extend well into childhood. The child usually learns to imitate antisocial acts of elders and in turn gets conflicting upbringing. With each passing year, the child shifts towards the antisocial paradigm and cannot find an exit in the later years. Treatment of psychopathic behaviour requires multiple treatment plans. However, it cannot be cured but it can be managed to some extent.Metrics
