psychopath.....

[SAAchristian757]

so my psych doctor thinks I have anti social personality disorder, she thinks i might be a psychopath.

Can psychopaths be christians, I lack feelings and have done some stuff I wont mention unless through PM. But I want to serve god, but I`m numb when it comes to human emotions. Its like im constantly distracted from gods word and I want to get better.

Any advice? Anything you guys want to ask?

You may have APD... but this post doesn't sound like a psychopath. Sure anyone can be a Christian. They may have a different experience than the average Christian. Most psychopaths are very successful people that don't harm others...

ive done alot of anti social stuff, I still have those urges to destroy things. But Iam on medicine to keep my mindset at bay. APD and sociopathy are linked, so go figure

APD and sociopathy and psychopathy are all basically different names for the same thing.

At first this disorder was called "psychopathy". Later on, the term was changed to "sociopathy" to avoid confusion with psychosis and reflect the belief at the time that psychological disorders were caused by faulty socialization. When the DSM officially added the disorder, they labelled it "antisocial personality disorder". The criteria used on Hare's psychopathy checklist and the DSM criteria are a bit different, but they are both used to measure the same personality disorder, as is "dissocial personality disorder" defined by the ICD. Over time people began to use these terms to describe different things and basically started making up their own definitions. Be careful, there is a lot of misinformation out there. Don't accept just anything you read as fact unless there are studies to back it up.

my anti-social personality diagnosis was from my doctor. it wasnt from the internet. But they keep changing the label because of political correctness.

I know. I would listen to your doctor. Be wary of anybody elses opinions.

This is always good advice!

I said that the post didn't 'sound' like a psychopath because I would not think a psychopath would be worried about wanting to be right with God. I'm probably wrong. But I reiterate that everyone can be a Christian, it's nothing in us that makes us a Christian. It's responding to the Holy Spirit and accepting the work that Christ has done for us. Salvation is all His work...

It has really frightened me when God has shown the some of the extent of the evil that has been inside me. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and Aspergers Syndrome. The first step is admitting you are evil and needing a savior. Those who are self-righteous can't be saved because they think they are good enough. Being a ''psychopath'' or ''sociopath'' is simply the worlds way of explaining severe demonic influence in someones life. It can be fixed through lots of prayer, fasting, studying Gods word, and just being filled with Gods truth to sanctify, purify, and heal your soul

I think a lot of people make that assumption. But actually, in a study done on the careers with the most psychopaths, "clergy" came out in the top ten.
