Psychosis vs psychopathy, the words sound similar, are they the same thing? I think this is a common question and people have a misconception that the two concepts are similar. But they are completely unrelated.
Psychosis is a mental state where you sense of reality is altered. When you are in this state you have trouble knowing what's real and what's not real. There are different ways you can manifest psychosis. Psychopathy on the other hand is a set of personality traits whereby people disregard the rights of others and their behavior conflicts with social norms. In this video I discuss two models of psychopathy to help you understand how it is different from psychosis.

Thank you Dr. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes I definitely think of them the same way.
2 great minds and people in 1 place. I feel out of place already.
I feel similar regarding the career ambitions I’ve been putting on hold. These videos offer great motivation to keep moving forward and to focus on my priorities. One day I hope to share this knowledge with someone who needs it even more than I do, thanks for making that feel so much easier 🙏
having experienced psychosis I can confirm it is completely different to psychopathy :) with a psychopath having a lack of empathy, a person with psychosis usually has a surplus of empathy
True it'e dysregulated and uncontrolled empathy, usually because the person is an 'unaware' empath. peace and hugs to you xx
@@roseanncampbell7294 peace and hugs to you too!
So well said.. I’ve had episodes of psychosis where I lost my mind over someone mistreating my disabled spouse in a medical situation .. I’ve also had episodes where someone treated me with complete lack of respect and I’ve lost my cool .. I’ve lost it with people demanding money on the phone (health insurance company /car insurance etc..) when we were told it was covered .. I go into this tunnel and all I see is anger , and their attempt to ruin my life and leave me homeless and dying on the street . Must be because when I was a kid , I was beaten , my sister was harassed and ended up not with us anymore ..then I had to fight my dad and he tried to strangle the life out of me..but I got him down ..he never touched me again , but he passed his form of rage onto me as a coping mech. I’ve been trying to unlearn it for 45 years .. it feels agonizing after I come down .. to realize the hurt I’ve caused with words .. people I’ve never met on the phone scrutinized , ridiculed , so vociferously. Sometimes I cry because it feels like I can’t stop . It’s like I fill up with cold water as soon as I hear someone’s tone take on that hostile nature my dad and his Christian church preachers had. Any kind of persecution, hostility , shaming or condemnation and I go into defense mode and battlestations
My knowledge in psychology and psychiatry has expanded so much the past years thanks to you! Im literally able to read complex articles in psychology and follow for the most part.
Keep up the good work Dr. Tracey!
Dr. Marks thank you for your videos and information. You're my favorite mental illness channel. When I was 21 I had an episode of major depression with psychotic features (I'm 49 years old now). I enjoy how accurate your examples are and you say them in a way that that people can understand. Again, thank you
I had a similar depression when I was 18
@@michaelharned8741 it's horrible. Been dealing with mental illness ever since, it's hard and I wish it on no one. Hang in there, you definitely aren't alone
I'm so glad you find the videos helpful! I hope you're doing well too.
@@DrTraceyMarks yes ma'am , I am. Again thank you very much!
I really appreciate this video. After housing my schizophrenic FIL for the past 6 months and dealing with all his episodes of psychosis was really rough and some times scary. We had no idea how to help him, since he was under the belief he wasn't "crazy", and he didn't like how his meds made him feel, thinking he was better and didn't need them (only cause the drugs were working) He just moved out last weekend. We feel bad but also so relieved. It's hard to help someone who wont/can't help themselves.
You're right. It almost like you have to watch them crash and burn and end up getting urgent or emergent care before you can start to make some changes.
What meds were they ?
I had a brief psychotic episode when I had a UTI
Omg
Me too , it spread to my kidneys,I started hallucinating and thinking the nurses were talking about me , very scary
Watched and then immediately rewatched. So good!
I have found your channel and I'm so happy because what you've talked about are depend on me .all the best with you
I really appreciate your time and style in making these comparison videos-thank you
I already knew most of this, but it’s great to see such a thorough explanation. I think it would be good to also do a video on psychopathy vs sociopathy, as I’m not sure I fully understand that… maybe also including narcissistic personality disorder?
I really like your videos, lots of great information presented well. Thanks!
had to puase the video to comment: never had a huge amount of respect for psych's due to personal experience and my own(thinking im smarter then everyone) but hearing you and watching you put videos out not promoting drugs but making sense and helping people, one video helped me, people need to hear the right things and then onwards, good job Tracey Marks
I've been waiting for this video!!!! Thank you 💚
Oh wow I'm glad I made it then. 😊
As a ug student of medicine…your videos are so useful in psychiatry…without your videos just to differentiate the terms used in it seems to be a daunting process
Thanks for explaining smthg in such an easy way! 🙂
Dr Marks, thank you so much for creating this video in response to my question. I still haven't baked the cake, but once I move into a new apartment next month, it's near the top of my to do list.
If you have met a psychopath, you have my sympathy. Those folks are dangerous. Never, ever trust one. Run, do not walk, from working for or being in relationship with a psychopath. Psychotics, on the other hand, aren't always dangerous. Just sometime. I treated a nice young man who killed the family cat when psychotic, and then did the same to a sports car. I never turned my back on him. I did the same with the female prisoners when I taught infant care classes. Then I went back to pediatrics. Less work, more fun.
I'm a retired forensic captain and specialized in training LEO's, nurses, MD's, social workers, etc. in working with the criminally insane and I thoroughly enjoy your channel.
Could you possibly make a video covering Schadenfreude. Taking pleasure in another's misfortune. Two people in my life that I love and care about very much show very strong signs of this trait. To the point of pathological lying, kleptomania, and out right sabotage to see the inconvenience and failure of others. I'd love to hear your view and ways of dealing with these individuals.
Thanks and keep the great videos coming.
Thank you for these videos. I really enjoy them. The topics you choose are interesting (even the ones that don't relate to me or to people I know) and your presentation is engaging and holds my interest -- which is no small feat considering I have adult ADHD inattentive type. Please keep making them!!
Thanks so much Scn8ive! That's really high praise! ❤️
Thanks for the concise explanation. You look beautiful 😍 Doc. Tracy
That was really helpful. I’ve recently moved next to someone who told me they sometimes experience psychotic episodes. In my research on what that means and how to support them, this video popped up. Thank you so much!
You're welcome. If you want to see more about pyschosis, you can check out my psychosis playlist ruclips.net/p/PLazcP3-djRZ2nQ9BqaPl__3UaeI70bVhO
It's nice to see neighbors supporting one another, you don't see that very often. It's very kind of you. Psychosis is very scary for all parties.
One tip, make sure your safety comes first. When in psychosis people can get irritable, aggressive, want to hurt themselves or others, they might even perceive you as a threat. Their thought process is totally skewed (I know I've been in a psychotic episode before).
Listen to your gut and if need be, (because you have to sometimes) call 911. Your safety comes first and foremost.
Dr. Please consider a video on emotional intelligence.
Thank you for your help and videos.
I learn from them.
Thank you for sharing your understanding with us on so many neglected subjects and definitions !
I hope and pray that you get to witness how positive and far-reaching impact you have and have-had on not just individuals, but families and society as a whole.
...God bless you and yours more and more, allowing you to further bless us in return.
Thanks so much Bee Real. I really appreciate it!
Exceptional breakdown. I especially liked learning about the triarchic model for psychopathy. I’ve always thought there are different types of psychopaths. Good to know I wasn’t wrong.
Yes, you were right. It's a pretty complex topic.
I wish I had you in undergrad! I LOATHED clinical.. this makes everything so much more fun!
Thank you so much for your explanation
You are welcome!
I’ve started a graduate program in clinical psychology and your videos are great! Thank you
What an amazing video. Thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are so talented for psychiatric medicine Dr. Tracey Marks. The experience in watching your videos It's like If I have talking to a friend about a very pleasurable theme. A fan from Brazil! 😆
Interesting. Thanks for explaining the difference.
🌴☀️🌴
Great educational videos Dr Tracey!
Thank you Sofia!
Thx doc, you helping us, people with mental disorder, kind a more aware about what was thoughts errors or pattern that we have....
I doo hear some kind of bad whispers, tough my pills are empty rn, ill definetly go back to psychiatrist soon....
Timely topic, in this era of mass psychosis.
Yes I thought so too. Thanks. 😊
Well done ❤️
I learned something. Thank you!
Awesome. I love it when people learn.
Excellent
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the super thanks Jim. I really appreciate it! ❤️
Great video, as usual. I've just had a pretty severe period of psychotic depression and even though I'm stable (I have bipolar type 1), recovery hasn't been easy. Could you make a video talking about the recovery process and length from different situations (depression, mania, psychotic depression, mixed episodes, etc...)? Please? I'm sure more people would appreciate it, too.
Hi Reinaldo. Thanks for the question. The recovery process is different for each person not only depending on what they are recovering from, but also what's going on in their lives, their past recovery, etc.. I wouldn't be able to give general predictions or expectations.
Some of the recovery trajectory depends on factors like anosognosia (insight’s presence/absence etc), social support, housing and financial stability, access to medications and how long the illness has gone on, esp if untreated/undertreated. That is why there is such emphasis on the importance of ‘First episode psychosis’ clinics for early intervention.
Why were you depressed?
i love your videos is educational and build awareness.
The starting sylable of "Psycho" is ALL that the two mental helath conditions have in common.
I patly blame Alfred Hitchock for blurring a wholebunch of different mental conditions in the movie "Phsycho."
Thank you Dr Marks. Nice t-shirt 💚🐶
Thanks. I was in a hurry and grabbed it. But yes, I like to include the doggies 😊
@@DrTraceyMarks 💚💚💚
I really love videos they are really helpful.
Thank you, I'm so glad. 👍🏽
My good neighbor and friend has psychosis I believe. We hang out all the time we go so many places and he just flips the script every effin time. And it upsets me so much because he's so normal but in public I guess because that's where I am at with him most I see him flip. It makes me need counseling because I get to wired up and frustrated but I love him because he's a cool friend to have to we are both stuck ...🤯
Your friend might just be weird…
We should not be labeling people with mental health issues based on a single video. Dr. marks mentions this often…
@@SurfLife4me blahhh. I said believe and u don't know hw many videos I watched go away while your labeling him weird your the weirdo and your not my friend so I don't want no convo bye .
@@A.D.O.S-x “you don’t know how many videos I’ve watched…”
Priceless…
Hey Dr. Marks! Thanks for another amazingly informative video! I love your videos and your content! I have a cheeky question! i was wondering, whats the deal with sleep disturbance and bipolar? why does it actually occur? like are there changes going on in the brain at the time? and kind of related to this whats with the early waking theme in depression. Any insight would b greatly appreciated, i hope you are well, and thank you for taking the time to read this comment. :)
Thanks💚
You're welcome 😊
Your hair looks cute Dr! Thanks as always for the relatable videos.
Glad you like them and my hair 😊
Thanks
Woow my best video..i didn't know the difference
Last year I also had this belief that I would harm someone, those nights of anxiety and hallucinations were horrible, I was sweating, it was strange, I didn't know what was happening, I think they seemed like hallucinations, I don't know, those thoughts and sensations went away and I was fine again. temporary although it lasted several months, but recently it has returned to me, and is weird, I think it's because I started to overthink how I acted sometimes and my head told me that there were things that I didn't care about, I walked away from two friends because my head said that I didn't love them and it's confusing not knowing how to distinguish reality from that, Right now I feel bad and strange, I want to act well but I'm really impulsive and I get upset about things, I hope it's because of my teenage stage and that's it :(
I love the new video style(also your hair), but I think the editing could be a little too much? It made me a little dizzy, but I like a lot of it. Like the subtitles
Love your shirt 😍
I love your videos! 💙
Thanks so much Ivy Rose.
I love your videos, they gave me some interesting points to think about.
I have a question: if someone grows with a distant parent and consequently develops an attraction to emotionally unavailable partners, how can someone tell apart genuine affection and potential red flags?
Hi Dr. Tracey Marks! I love this video and your content!! Question: in psychiatry, where is the line where a medical delusion starts? I ask this because when I had psychotic symptoms in the past, I did have some delusional thoughts. However, I always knew deep down that these delusions are not LOGICALLY possible. I still acted on them and did things to prevent what I feared, but I did it more for prevention in case it was real, not because I fully believed it. Would this be described as a delusion or just paranoia? Can someone have a "medical" delusion while logically recognizing that the belief is inherently unlikely or false? Thanks again for this video!
Great vid as always, Dr Marks! Now, is Psychopathy neurological or is it psychological? Psychosis sounds neurological or am I off the mark?
I've been wondering about this alot here recently and youtube just suggested this. I might be going back into psychosis right now since I saw a hawk attack in my backyard on the 4th.
As always a great episode. Thank you. I was wondering how it is possible that some people still get depressed and commit suicides while taking anti-depressants.
Very good & clear explanation.
I have an acquaintance who insists on using the word psychotic when he means psychopathic.
Several times I have explained the difference but he takes no notice!
Perhaps he will pay attention to this?
Dr. Tracey could you cover the subject of Substance Abuse disorder vs. recreational use? And could Substance Abuse Disorder exist on its own or is it always co-morbid with other mental disorders?
i lost a friend today over this argument. She kept on saying that psychopaths are sociopaths with psychosis. Which is just wrong. She kept on painting me as a bigot for correcting her and got our mutual friend to side with her. So i lost him too. I can’t believe this all happened and i’m still right. It’s annoying.
She’s the psychopath.
Very helpful. Thank you. I’m also wondering if paranoid features are common in schizophrenia. And what is the difference between schizophrenia and schizoid affective disorder. Thank you.
Psycho meaning mind, Pathos meaning BAD, Osis meaning Altered state.
This video is really helpful to differentiate about psychopathy and psychosis.
Hello, Dr. Marks. I wonder if you can make a video about euthymia(normal mood) i wonder if euthymia existed in MDD or PDD? I know euthymia existed in bipolar too, can you describe euthymia in bipolar too?
Ok let me see if I can make a whole video about that. That's more like video-ette 😃 The short answer is euthymia is a state of normal mood. It's the state you are in when you are in between episodes, assuming all of your symptoms go away. Not everyone's does. Ok, I think I may be able to have a few things to say about this. Let me see.
@@DrTraceyMarks what is "normal" in someone with a mental illness. My normal before I got sick and my normal since then are COMPLETELY different. I find that people (well, I know I do) make due with what the mental illness didn't take and out of that I have made a "new normal".
So, this topic sounds very informative and insightful.
@@DrTraceyMarks I know that euthymia is normal mood. But sometimes, I got confused with "euthymia" vs (hypo) mania. Both of them feeling good within myself. But, i wonder if I'm actually mania or euthymia, because my suicidal thoughts went "poofed" suddenly.
Does euthymia means there will be another mania/depressive episode upcoming?
Thank you, Dr. Marks for making this video :)
I’m that person who tries to talk about something and end up on tangents .. I don’t like speaking to people for extended periods of time , unless I’m coaching them and then I focus entirely on their need and their desired and stated goals . If I’m left to my own devices , I get easily sidetracked and often end up making several repeat loops around my insecurities and failings . ***trigger warning ***I was beaten as a child by an evangelical father up to the age of 14 , when my sister was driven to unalive herself . I am medicated and under the constant care of a psychiatrist. I’ve been married /partnered for 23 years and live in the same house for 12 years. Psychosis happens for me whenever my disabled partner is treated poorly by rude clerks at hospitals or clinics . I’m his caregiver 24/7 and I find it very difficult to care for myself . I tend to focus on the pain and injury of others (like my mother )
Hi Dr Tracey marks. Could make a video on how to think in a balanced way in day to day life? I have trouble saying and doing things with sense. I want to stop suffering
Thank you.
You're welcome 😊
Dr Tracy Marks, would you give us more information on thought disorder. I have something like that. I speak and the image bis in my head, I know what I want to say but another word comes out. i didn't realize I did this until my daughters told me. I didn't understand that people could not comprehend my sentences until after it was pointed out to me.
Can u do a video on the difference between a therapist and a trauma practitioner?
Hmmm...let me see what I can do with that. The short answer is the trauma practitioner is also a therapist who specializes in trauma based therapies like EMDR, CPT, and PET (exposure therapy)
Great breakdown of these two terms. Psychosis and psychopathy could not be more different. Psychopaths will exploit and manipulate people with psychosis all day, every day and sleep just fine at night. Psychopaths are almost entirely morally bankrupt and ruthlessly greed driven.
I think it might be the term "psycho" that has people confused with these two terms, not psych (which most people use as an abbreviation for an academic class). I hear people misuse the term "psycho" quite often, especially online.
Some psychopaths are sadistic, but I think that is more people who are borderlines and malignant narcissists, as well as those with sadistic personality disorder.
Hello, Tracey. Could you answer a question? With help is it possible for psychopaths and sociopaths to learn empathy?
1:21 that’s what my therapist noticed and that’s how they first discovered my psychosis within my level 2 autism
❗❗❗ Please make a content or recommend any content of yours about how to handle a person who weaponize their mental against their love ones/ other people.
Been listening to you for many months, and you're one of the reason why I want to pursue this course, Hope you notice me.
Dear Mrs. Marks,
I have a question about mania. Is it possible to have mania and be able to sleep? Though I will only sleep about four hours.
Dr. Marks, I am curious as to why you referred to someone as a “psychopath” as opposed to a “sociopath” in this video. Thanks in advance. Respectfully, D
Hello Dr. My Question might be irrelevant to the video just a quick question can substance abuse cause an anxiety disorder therefore triggering clinical depression?
Usually I have sense of reality altered and disorganised thinking
I know about psychopath it kinda goes with being a sociopath, I have a piece of me like that, I have never been psychotic in my life
Thank you, I think your videos are amazing. Can you make another video about psychosis, please? It kind of eludes me, I do not understand exactly what psychosis is, and I am especially interested in how it relates to bipolar - what exactly is the connection?
Hi Clara. Take a look at my psychosis playlist ruclips.net/p/PLazcP3-djRZ2nQ9BqaPl__3UaeI70bVhO

Dr. Marks, you do one on one counseling?
Hi Paula, I do with current patients. But sorry I'm not taking new patients at this time.
@@DrTraceyMarks Oh WOW! If you have an opening, please contact me. Please write my name down somewhere. I need to talke to someone about my situation.
Hi, why is your better help video still up? It's misleading at best, with a lot of cases against them recently - I think it's worth looking into if having that video on your channel is a good idea, it might mislead and hurt people

Whenever I travel to dubai with my 2.5 year old son,my bipolar episode relapses..any suggestions please?
Doc pls, drug induced psychosis, does it totally go away when the person becomes sober?
I had to go through rehab, for alcohol abuse, but I did learn that Psychosis does go away...maybe not 100% but it is manageable IMHO, Therapist actually helped me (but this was alcohol)
Your never really clean when you have been a addict the temptation to go back will be life long and the physcosis will come and go wether clean or not
@@sherylo994 I’ve been clean for almost 5 years now, had to go to rehab a couple of times. Alcohol induced psychosis? Really?
It can if it's a one time experience AND you're not vulnerable to psychosis on your own. Some people's psychiatric issues like OCD, anxiety and delusional disorder can be activated by drug intoxication.
Hmmm...that sounds like a good topic for a video. Thanks for the question.
so i do not know what is real and imagined?
so whats the difference between a narcissist and a psychopath
I always struggled with myself because of my huge lack of empathy. There was a point where I even tried to kill my brother, he’s alive and well. I’m not fairly strong and all I had was a pillow. Yet afterwards I just felt pissed off, and even now I still have thoughts and wishes to put harm on literally anybody. I even attempted to cause a car accident.
However, my therapist has had thorough talks with me. I honestly just wanna live a normal life but all of these violent fantasies never go away. So for now, we’re just trying to work on my terrible addictions
That sounds more like a control issue than psychosis, maybe you have it too but idk. About the lack of empathy, hldo you have depression or any sort of problem?
You seem normal because you wanna live a normal life without harming anyone and you are conscious about how terrible those fantasies are. You probably have intrusive thoughts too and OCD.
@@imsh00k I have a whole history, since I’ve commented I’ve so far been diagnosed for Anxiety, Depression, PTSD. However what’s really causing the main issues is still being discussed, including the talk of my constant hallucinations and audio hallucinations. Schizophrenia is out though because I’m too aware and it was crossed out pretty easily.
Can you do video about perceptual disorder?
That's not a single disorder but a category. Is there one in particular you want to know about?
@@DrTraceyMarks i would like to know about non verbal learning disorder
Psychosis = mental disorder
Psychopathy = personality disorder (cluster b : antisosial personality disorder)
Some of these examples are so specific and repeated that they HAVE to be real things you've heard from people.
. . .Geese! That REALLY SUCKS! Makes me occasionally wonder just HOW MANY folks "in power running the show" are ACTUALLY suffering from some degree of psycothapy?!
that's why i dont't like people making threads out of threads of videos of people shouting xenophobic things in supermarkets. If you see some of those "famous" videos (not all of them obviously) the people in them have obviosuly psycological problems, and clearly complicated ones like psycosis or grave depression etc. So people talking about what they say instead of how, if the system would have helped them more ,those scenes wouldn't have happened, really makes me sad. Because it's even clear from what they say that they're just shouting random things. But Twitter does Twitter so,...PLus, a personal f*ck to all the people who record those things without thinking about talking tothe people involved through the situation and try to solve it
Nice to see James Franco back in the news
considering this is an educational video, at least imo the picture chose for psychopath is v out of touch for a medical professional. u r still talking about a mental health condition, and the ppl inflicted w it still deserve respect. they r not inherently abusive or need to be locked up, n stuff like this perpetuates that stigma.
This sounds like my sister my mom has lost everything because of my sister yet she'd fight you and kick you out defending my sister. And my sister will tell everyone she's taking care of my mom. My mom hasn't stopped babying my sister who just turned 40 ever I her entire life. My mom's and my sisters entire life. If my sister tells me mom to do something she'll do it even if it's don't go visit your grandchildren. Don't buy yourself this house cause it doesn't suit my sister
Psychopothy in a group setting, video?
Is fear problems considered Psychosis? Please help. Thanks 🙏
Generally we think of fears as anxiety or phobias. But a psychotic person can be fearful. Fear is not a diagnostic criteria.
@@DrTraceyMarks thank you very much. Thanks 🙏 Blessings Your way Always.

Can psychosis be caused by toxic chemicals found in cosmetics or environment?
Toxic chemicals yes, I'm not sure if the ones in cosmetics or the environment are at a high enough strength to cause psychosis. It also depends on the substance
I heard mercury in cosmetic could cause psychosis
😟
I thought this was called exhaustion when you don't make sense when you talk and don't finish thoughts lol just playing.
