minus-squareGenius@lemmy.zipBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoThe word psychopath comes from the Greek words psyche, meaning soul, and pathos, meaning suffering. So in Greek, psychopath means suffering soul. What a shit name. Fortunately, English speaking doctors invented a better name. Antisocial personality disorder.
minus-squareTwoBeeSan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoDamn that fits him even better. Dude was assaulted multiple times by a professor causing him to drop out and forever associate his passion with SA. Truly a tragic existence for a piece of garbage.

minus-squareGenius@lemmy.zipBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI vote we take away the power of the word psychopath by using it to refer to ALL mental illnesses and disorders. And if someone says psychopath when they mean ASPD, we tell them to speak English.
minus-squareWorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoBut psychopath has a very negative connotation, as it should.
minus-squareGenius@lemmy.zipBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoNo it shouldn’t, it’s a shit name. It means suffering soul. If we mean people with ASPD, let’s speak English.

minus-squareGenius@lemmy.zipBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoPsychopath doesn’t mean anything in Latin.
minus-squareGenius@lemmy.zipBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoNo, it doesn’t. Whoever says psychopath is speaking Greek. They should stop that and speak a language they understand.
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoIt could be dispathos, “lacking soul”.
