Reporting from Kompas.com, February 2, 2016, psychopaths come from the word psyche which means "soul" and pathos which means "sick".

However, mental illness in a psychopathic context is different from crazy.

Crazy is a condition where a person is not aware of what he is doing.

Meanwhile, a psychopath is aware of every action that he do. 

Psychopathic symptoms

Meanwhile, psychopathic symptoms are called psychopathy.

To diagnose it requires a rigorous and thorough evaluation, covering seven stages of examination including 20 Hare psychopathy checklists that must be carried out.

Mr. World Psychopathy from British Colombia University, Robert D. Hare, said, the difference between a psychopath and non-psychopath lies in his emotional reaction. 

A psychopath lacks of emotional reactions such as fear, sadness, and depression.

In addition, a psychopath is also manipulative. 

Often they look, behave, and speak very well.

Psychopaths are also very egocentric with abilities and intelligence that are generally above average.

Criminal psychopaths at first also had a tendency to commit despicable past.

These atrocities can be taken for granted like hurting animals, which then increases in humans. 

Psychopaths lack of the emotions

A psychopath, often feels innocent of his actions that have harmed the others because of their different ways of thinking.

The experience of James Fallon, professor of neuroscience at the University of California, shows that thing.

Once, Fallon asked to a psychopath about the possibility of regretting his actions. 

However, he got a surprising answer... 

In psychopaths, they rarely experience sweaty hands due to stress or anxiety.

Therefore, it is difficult for them to empathize with anger, fear, and sadness.

Research conducted by Valeria Gazola, published in the Journal of Brain, shows that the empathy for a person who's suffering in psychopath must be provoked.

If in normal humans empathy is something that automatically arises when they see sadness or injustice, for psychopaths, their brains do not. 

They will empathize if they want to.

This explains why a psychopath can be both charming and manipulative.

For this reason, the recommended therapy for psychopaths is not just to teach them to empathize.

However, what is needed is to encourage them to be trained to always empathize, before violence becomes part of their lifestyle. (*)
