Hey deserve listeners. Some of you have been asking me to react to this video on YouTube in which

0:05.9

this individual, I believe, claims to suffer from antisocial personality disorder. Sometimes we

0:12.9

will refer to these individuals as psychopaths or suffering from psychopathic personality

0:18.3

disorder. These are generally considered to be separate constructs, but just to let you understand

0:23.0

the context. Also, sometimes people will use the label of sociopath or sociopathic. So,

0:29.5

let's get into it. My name is Dr. Kirk Honda, I'm a therapist and professor.

0:33.2

I know for a fact, however many people, the world things there are with antisocial personality disorder,

0:42.3

there's probably more. It paints a very bad image, so a lot of people, only enough, hide the fact

0:50.9

they have, even though they do. Yeah, I'm not sure what he's referring to his name is Joseph,

1:28.4

right? And there are some qualities of psychopathic personality or antisocial personality that are not

1:34.6

pathological, they're not a problem. For example, the fact that I make a YouTube channel could be

1:40.8

considered a little bit on that spectrum because it's breaking from the norm. Most people in my field

1:47.7

do not make YouTube channels and I had to break free from the cultural norm to do so 14 years ago,

1:55.6

especially it was widely considered unethical by a lot of people in my field to go on social media

2:02.2

or YouTube or Twitter or anything. So, I had to think outside the box, I had to kind of think for

2:08.5

myself and that is considered to be on the psychopathic spectrum. Does that mean I'm a psychopath? No,

2:14.9

it just means that I question cultural norms. Now, if someone were to question cultural norms all
