And I find that to be just one of the core issues surrounding certain mental disorders in that if you don't care in the right way, then it doesn't count.

And it's why I wrote the book, because I really wanted people to understand that there's more to this personality type than just these sensationalized one-dimensional examples that pop culture likes to churn out over and over and over again. There is so much more to this personality.

Well, if you consider that it's 5% of the population is, that's like the clinical assessment. That's what the research indicates. But when you consider that most of the diagnostic interviews for psychopathy and sociopathy take place within the prison system, there's no way that number isn't likely much higher.

But yes, to your point, let's just stick with 5%, 100% the same as depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, borderline personality disorders. And I think that the reason that there isn't more is I read somewhere recently that viewing someone who is suffering as quote-unquote morally bad reduces compassion and desire to help in neurotypical individuals, which I found to be completely fascinating.

And my guess is that that's why so few public health resources are devoted to those disorders of aggression. psychopathy, sociopathy, antisocial personality disorder, because when neurotypical people are presented with someone like that, their ability to empathize goes straight down.

And As someone for whom socialization was really tricky to understand, I'm always really perplexed by the reasoning that sociopaths don't deserve any compassion or empathy because they don't have any compassion or empathy for anyone else.
