Interesting. I also found some stuff on criminal psychopaths. The bbc: Remorseless Criminal psychopaths are people with aggressive and anti-social personalities who lack emotional empathy. They can commit hideous crimes, such as rape or murder, yet show no signs of remorse or guilt. It has been sugg...

Not sure if I did something wrong when I registered, but I am unable to post a signature. My profile has only the place for me to change my PW or username and I have button choice of various the options e.g email notification for a topic. I am not sure if there is a users on line function either, bu...

Lables are hard don't you think. I am not sure but I think a sociopath is as Annie says is someone who is overly antisocial and has no respect for anyone, any property and acts out all over the place. Thinking a psychopath is devoid of empathy. They will act on aggressive impulses without regret or ...

I was just interested in how overriding the fear response is not always a good thing and could lead to cavalier attitudes to risks & the type of behaviour that has ruined an economy recently. Annie, I get that and agree in part. There was a group of people who went out into the desert or somewh...

As a therapist of 15 years, I have to say it's not the first time I have heard about this type of scenario. My guess: He is human and yes, he is acting out his counter-transference or projective identification or any other term one could use for his behaviour. But that said, from what you say, he is...

As said if you have the time, or want to really build on your own ideas, read Julian Barbour - he is one of the few people who marry up quantum physics with the theory of relativity and for me, has the best explanation yet for how we came to be, how linear time works and other interesting and though...

This may not suit everyone, but, I would say take it slow as possible with withdrawal and have a week or so without dropping. Draw up a plan that can be adjusted - so if you have been on it for say 5 years, give yourself say 5 - 7 months to come off it. Gradually lower doses, then go to every other ...

Hi, Seems like a lot of good advice. This sounds horrible and I can understand why you feel so upset. I guess you have had your blood pressure taken? Why do docs put people on antidepressants just because they cannot find anything physically wrong? Anyhow, I am sure there are lots more tests they ca...

Yep and Yep. But there are people who feel controlled when no real threat is present...at least not a physical one. Some have said they fear rejection, others have told me they were controlled by their parents and have continued in the world as the controlled or victim of other's control. I think ma...

I do think like someone else said, that we are born with a need to control in the survival instinct way. Babies cry to be fed, to be held etc. How that is handled may be the beginning of whether they learn to wait, or to know they cant always have it there own way. I have thought that some controlli...

Did you have any kind of therapy while taking the anti-depressants? Sometimes (more often than not) medication is just providing a relief of symptoms and the underlying causes of your depression, anxiety and anger need to be addressed. Let me know the answer to my question and we will go from there...

The history of world wars is evidence of our collective nature, and yet there have always been those who will not kill. Many famous writers and thinkers have chosen to be an ambulance orderly rather than a soldier, and the orderly's job is no easy option, being actually more dangerous. Good point a...
