The doctrine within medical practitioner circles of over prescribing the drug Prozac as an easy cure-for-all alternative to traditional more time-consuming and expensive methods of psychiatry. This practice is of benefit to the Healthcare profession but compromises the patient.
Instead of suggesting psychotherapy, the doctor gave me the usual degree of Prozac centred psychiatry I was expecting.

Get the Prozac centred psychiatry mug.It is time to note the difference between a psychopath and a psychotic.
Psychopath:
A person with an antisocial personality disorder, manifested in aggressive, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse.
Psychopaths tend to lack normal human emotions such as guilt. They are also often highly intelligent and skilled at manipulating others.
Also, psychopaths seem to appear normal. You would probably never guess there was something wrong with them.
Note, not all psychopaths are serial killers.

Get the high functioning psychopath mug.The ad hominem attack of mental illness accusations used to quell or impeach a political dissident. In extreme cases it leads to the medically unnecessary comital of the dissident to a mental institution and/or the forcing of the dissident to take pacifying or punitive medication.
It is a particularly effective method for totalitarian regimes as they can shield the public from viewing evidence supporting the claims of the dissident. It is also effective when the dissident has inherently eccentric behavior that can be magnified by the frustrations of dealing with the government's accusations.
With freedom of the press and the internet it is becoming an increasingly rare tactic.
The best defense is to communicate through an attorney, remain calm at all times, and amass as much evidence as possible before raising further dissent.

14. Impulsive
15. Irresponsible
16. Juvenile delinquency
17. Early behavioral problems
18. Revocation of conditional release
19. Many short-term marital relationships
20. Criminal versatility
In short, a wolf in sheep's clothing, a predator in disguise. Psychopaths are generally thought of as serial killers, but most are not even criminals; necktie psychopaths wreak havoc in the office, ruthlessly manipulating and charming their way to the top.
Psychopaths are obsessively meticulous, are calm and fearless, and are able to lead a double life in which family and friends see one person... and other people see a very different side. Immoral, perverse, and criminal, they know right from wrong but they get a thrill out of defying the law and moral codes.

Similar to a sociopath, except that psychopaths are born while sociopaths are generally made and they seem to be two sides of the same coin; psychopaths are temperamentally devil may care, are cool and self-controlled, and cannot internalize social norms; sociopaths have relatively normal temperaments, are more easily agitated, and their problems are generally the result of environmental and social factors (unstable childhoods, the wrong crowd, extreme high or low intellect, etc); psychopaths are obsessively meticulous while sociopaths are more sloppy and erratic; psychopaths feel nothing for others while sociopaths can feel empathy in particular contexts; psychopaths are able to fool people for years while sociopaths are more easily exposed. Both will get what they want, regardless of who stands in their way.
