  1. I would like to see and ADHD episode as well. I have ADHD, and I wouldn't say its ruining my life or early affecting it. it makes it hard to do math, because, ya know, math sucks, and whenever I have to do it I get anxious and I start twisting my shirt, hyperventilating, and I feel an intensely powerful urge to move around, but I still am slightly proud that I have it, and innate to embrace who I am.

  2. Psychology student here! While “antisocial” is the technically correct term, I think it carries more stigma than the terms “psychopath” or “sociopath” do, and I really dislike it. Saying “antisocial” just makes it sound like you’re introverted or don’t like to interact with people, thus minimizing the weight the term for a serious personality disorder has. I get that “psychopath/sociopath” tends to make people think of twisted serial killers or something, but even that is more accurate than the term “antisocial.” They should have used a different term when renaming this disorder. Honestly, the entire system of the way we name and classify disorders in psychology is so broken and stupid. I’m still salty that they god rid of Asperger’s Syndrome and merged it into Autism Spectrum Disorder in the DSM-V, but that’s a story for another time.

  3. Keeping secrets, envy, long distance,jealousy,lies and infidelities are major threats to most marriages and relationships and it is important to be smart not to trust 100% when dealing with our partners. Yes, I know the importance of trusting but that same trust can hurt you so much and don’t forget the saying that once a cheater is always a cheater. I’m glad that cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone. I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with Cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and 2 years far back deleted messages from my phone through a programmed link to a cloned app containing all cloned cell information without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. I got to discover that my husband who is legally married to me here in California USA is also recently married to another woman in Canada and I’m finally going through divorce with lots of evidence against him. I read all deleted and recent chats on his Whatsapp, Twitter,Facebook,Instagram and Skype. You can contact this great hacker “Gavin” via Gmail (cyberhackinggenius@gmail ) or text and speak to him directly on his phone and WhatsApp : +19256795146 and don’t forget to thank me later for this favor!

  4. Can someone dumb it down and explain bpd and did to me? Also other personality disorders to me. I’m kinda scared hearing all these disorders especially the one where you change into almost another person. Overall I’m just scared of having a mental illness period. I want to go to a psychologist to see if u have any mental illness. I also got abused and got molested. I don’t think it was anything traumatizing enough to where it reaches that point but idk…. ;-;

  5. I am a 50-years old male and have spent 50 years on a twin mattress. I am 6'4", so you know what that means. Therapists would rather write me off than deal with me. I don't have to be fixed, I just have to try to improve myself but therapists are soooo intimidated by my situation.

  6. Imagine finding out you have a personality disorder, and go to educate yourself on the subject, and the first result is a video of a man mocking qualities of a personality and making it sound below him? Very cool

  7. villainizing people with personality disorders only makes it harder for them to get help. Just because you have one of these disorders, does not make you an inherently bad person

  8. This could’ve been done way more sensitively. PDs are stigmatised enough as it is. Raising awareness is important but scaremongering in the process isn’t okay

  9. Very accurate account. My own experience with people affected by Antisocial Personality Disorders is that ALL of them do commit crimes. The problem is they are NOT reported. And when they are reported even the police does not take it seriously. I reported my current boss to two police forces in two countries where he operated (in one case he was trying to smuggle people in that country) and nothing happened. I also reported him to the employer and he has not even been investigated for robbing money, let alone for stalking, intidimating, forced labor, you name it !
    Having witnessed all of these DISASTERS with near CATASTROPHIC consequences on my life, from last year I decided to take matters in my own hands. I dumped my psychopatic significant other in one country, savage the office of my current sociopathic boss in a second country, and I am reporting to the tax office in yet another country a fake sociopathic coach that robbed money to a group of 30 coaches trainees and did not pay taxes (I got my money back from the fake coach). And you know what? I told all of them well in in advance to run before I started giving them a life lesson. None of them believed me.
    I am afraid to say that against people with APD, that our countries refuses to take away from society until they "might" be cured, simple determined people are needed to drag them to justice by their feet. That is basically what I am doing, using at times non orthodox methods as well. And I not only doing it, I am also telling the tales.
    THANKS for informing the world about these CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED (a song by Iron Maiden).

  10. This is very pedagogically sound. First, you tell them what you're going to tell them. Then, you tell them. Then you tell you what you've told them

  11. The definition of personality disorders in this video sounds a lot like ASD. I and many others have been misdiagnosed with personality disorders before professionals finally realized it was ASD.

  12. Are some people just not watching the entire video? He literally says multiple times, people with the disorders won't necessarily become serial killers. He also used Psychopathy and Sociopathy as loose terms and mostly uses Anti-Social Personality Disorder to describe it. And people say I don't pay attention.
