A few things should also be said. People generally don't understand what "psychopath" and psychopathy are. It's not like the movies. Psychotic and psychopathic are not the same either. Generally speaking, though a range of common personality traits are common to psychopathy, it stems from a deficiency in specific areas of the brain, resulting in severely retarded or absent emotional responses. Some psychologists argue that up to 3-4% of people in the USA are psychopaths. They are doctors, lawyers, physicists etc etc etc and at most just seem "abrasive" or "a little eccentric" or "kind of a dick" to others and lead pretty normal lives
