Help pls
For a long time I haven't stopped overthinking about some things but now it's happening more to me with the fear of developing some mental disorder, recently with the fear of becoming or believing that I am a psychopath, could someone tell me if it is possible to develop psychopathy based on Afraid of your symptoms?
Hello! The thought of developing a mental disorder is frightening. What would happen if you develop a mental illness?
What do you define as psychopathy? From my research, psychopathy is clinically known as antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). They suffer from severe lack of empathy. Therefore, they might be prone to do negative actions without remorse. People with aspd tend to have experienced abuse and it might be genetics too.
I don’t think it’s possible to develop psychopathy based on your fear of developing a mental illness but I suggest consulting a psychologist or psychiatrist to get a precise answer and they will be able to screen you accurately.
Wishing you peace.
