Mental Health and Traits
When people think of mental health, they think of mental
disabilities or disorders. However, mental illnesses include
traits, disorders, personality, tendencies and so forth. For
example, psychopathic patients may have a personality disorder,
psychopathic tendencies or traits. The level of disorder differs
in the sense traits are less severe than disorder and
tendencies. Often people with these types of disabilities have
other diagnostic disadvantages beneath the surface.
Let's look at a patient with psychopathic traits. This person
is less likely to kill than the person in the next seat with
psychopathic tendencies or personality. Although the symptoms
are slightly different, neither diagnosed patient with these
types of diagnoses should be excused from illustrating violent
behaviors. In fact, not everyone with psychopathic disabilities
kill. Therefore, to understand mental health and traits, you
must understand the entirety of the diagnoses.
Traits are distinguishing qualities of a single diagnose. The
traits may include similar symptoms illustrated by a full-blown
psychopathic, yet not as severe. For example, psychopathic
individuals often enjoy starting fires. A patient with
psychopathic traits may not start fires, but wish they had the
advantage of doing so. These types will often think about the
consequences ahead of time, while psychopathic patients will
not. The downside of psychopathic traits is that if left
untreated this person can break off into tendencies and/or
personality disorders, which means danger is lurking closer.
Psychopathic like everyone else has many sides to their
personality, including a bossy side, adventurous side, normal
side, eccentric side, and so forth. Psychopathic patients can
play up to a person and that person will see a friendly side
that leads him or she to believe the person is a so-called
normal.
Yet when the person goes home, he or she engages in abnormal
behaviors including pornographic materials, obsessive music, and
studying the law in an effort to find a loophole to get away
with crime. This person might even go home and calculate a
strategy to harm the individual that thought he or she was
normal. What we are looking at then is a psychopathic individual
with the traits leading to tendencies to kill. We are looking at
a personality disorder that is so entangled in a web of
illusionary thinking. Psychopathic often believe and think
differently from the normal society. Some of their thinking is
justifiable however; their behaviors make it difficult for
others to listen.
We a psychopathic thinks killing will relieve his or her pain
and suffering, this is obviously an unjustifiable thought.
However, if a psychopathic believes that the system is a
failure, then he or she is on track in their thinking, since
history has proved his or her claims. According to statistics,
there are three types of personality disorders that have urges
to kill or harm other individuals. Scientist claims that 4
percent consist of Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD), 1
percent Psychopathic, and 3 percent Sociopath. Now the common
denominator that the three shares is neither personality type
does not have regards for other peoples rights, nor do they show
remorse when they harm another.
All three of these types of personality often walk around with a
deranged look on their face, and all three are deadly. The
difference then is not all sociopaths kill and often this type
of personality has fewer symptoms than a psychopathic
personality type. While the statistics claim there is only 1
percent psychopathic in the world, the statistic are blown off
the chart as more of these personality types present them self
to society. Many of the psychopathic also have antisocial
personality disorders, while antisocial personality patients do
not always have psychopathic.
However, they may illustrate traits, since like psychopathic,
antisocial symptoms include fire starting, bed wetting, harm to
animals and people. As you can see understanding traits,
personality and tendencies if vital since confusing, one or the
other can lead to disaster. The disadvantage of the three listed
diagnoses is there is rarely a solution for ending the ongoing
mental illnesses. This means that therapy often does more harm
than good, and that most of the patients with these diagnoses
are destined to crime. Studies are in constant labor working to
find answers, but the more they search it seems with these
diagnoses that the further that head backwards.
