It’s a personality disorder, not a mental illness imo. What mental illnesses have monetary greed and extreme self-centredness and violence at their root?
You’re right, VS
Psychopathy is not a mental illness
It’s a Personality Disorder, which is different. It’s also incurable and untreatable.
Some psychopathic murderers who’ve killed children for sex can be chemically castrated, but it doesn’t treat the desire. They will still be attracted to children. In just the way an alcoholic who stops drinking will always struggle with their desire for alcohol, so will sexual deviants, paedophiles, serial rapists etc...
With Jeremy Bamber’s psychopathy there are no drugs that can give him empathy, normal emotions, or a conscience. He is like a living “dead” person and nothing can change the wiring of his brain. He doesn’t need chemically castrating as sex wasn’t his motive to kill: his motive was greed and lust for money, power and control — which he still to this day displays. If a minority of people can’t see he hasn’t changed after almost half a century, it’s no wonder people fall by the wayside when trying to help them understand what they’re dealing with, and how he ends up hurting them once he has no further use of them.
