That would be a correct point if he wasn’t a multi millionaire with a hedge fund. Not to mention he’s created drugs. He still has made effective use of his intellect
@@eldio2124 calling him intelligent is like calling people with antisocial personality disorder and narcissim smart. that's like calling elizabeth holms smart. these people build their success on smoke and lies until it all comes crashing down on them.
so yes, people like him ARE intelligent. but intelligence applies to many skills. at the end of the day he still hurt people with his actions. that's what really matters, not debating whether or not he's intelligent.
This was actually the most interesting part of the video for me (although that relationship stuff was mind boggling). I want to know more about the relationship between intelligence and maturity. I never thought about it before.
I'm one of those but I don't just like them, I also do my best to leave a smart-ass comment just to get a "heart" from him, which always makes my day! LOL

I believe Deviant Personality Disorder was used as a diagnosis in the Diane Down's case which Dr Grande has covered, it wasn't an official personality disorder back then or now and I believe Dr Grande touched on this.
When he said “just a reminder, I’m not diagnosing anybody in this video, only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this” *I felt that* 😩😩
That is just because he keeps it professional - you cannot diagnose correctly from afar, it takes in depth Work with the individual and ofcause the right toolbox (education). Actually that very statement makes Dr. Grande very trustworthy😉❤️👍.
She was a grown ass married woman and a journalist on top, she felt the tingles because he was a wealthy bad boy and she went all in. I don't see any need to treat her like a victim. She knew better and decided to go for it - she made her own bed.
I can relate to that, actually. When I was first with my narcissistic girlfriend, I thought I was the happiest I’d ever been in my life. Things went downhill, and now with hindsight, I can see that I wasn’t actually the happiest I’d been. Or maybe I was, but regardless I was being manipulated to feel that way.
You should do an analysis on Jonny Kim. This guy was a Navy SEAL, went to Harvard Medical School, and is now an astronaut. It would be fascinating to look at what motivates a high performer like him, it would be something different from the criminal types we usually see on this channel.
My guess on why the relationship ended so abruptly is that Smythe's failure to find a publisher for Shkreli's biography and the fact that her letter of support failed to secure his early release led Shkreli to conclude that she was no longer of any use to him. Narcissists do tend to use people and drop them when they can't get any more from that person, I have an ex who has done this exact thing to multiple partners, though not from prison thankfully.
Considering what she's said about it, her behavior, and a recent article about her experience, I'd say she's also a narcissist. She was pretty aware that they were using each other, and it was part of the draw for her. It seems she's fine with the break up (she says), I guess because she's getting all kinds of attention (still), they're "good friends" (so she still has some kind of relationship with him to exploit), and she's still working on "a book". She's sometimes described herself as an "interloper" in her self written mini bios online for various websites she writes for. A cynical, salty, yet also whiny attempt at a quip. She gets to be a "rebel" who is special and above it all while still being some kind of "victim". She seems to be contrary just to be contrary. Her husband tried to save their marriage, and told her the guy was using her, that she didn't deserve that. She accused her husband of just being randomly controlling and she is happy to have been "manipulated" by Martin, so she could be "free" of her "awful" (and she insinuates "boring") husband and job. I honestly couldn't read the whole article she wrote about it because it was just insufferable. They deserved each other, honestly.

Nope, I was thinking the same thing the 1st time I saw it and never changed my mind. Like All 3 Trump males, Pence, Gordon, McConnell and some less famous people just in my life. I married one after being widowed, and out of fear never smacked it🤬
hello dr grande, I hope you had a good christmas! i have just learned of a celebrity blunder I find hilarious and fascinating and you might too. turns out that alec baldwin’s wife has been pretending to be spanish for about 8 years when she was born and raised by american parents in america and only visited spain on frequent holidays (her parents now live there after retiring bc i guess they loved the place so much), her loyalty to spain is incredible considering the fact she isn’t from there, she named her children all spanish names and raises them speaking spanish and she even faked an accent for a while. I think it’s very interesting how people lie about stuff like this, and for so long, it has the same vibes as celebs who lie about their age. it’s stupid and makes absolutely no difference to my life but it’s fascinating and I need to know why they did it.
While the mention of a prenuptial agreement was humorous in the context of this video and specifically because it was proposed by a likely Narcissist, I would highly recommend a prenuptial agreement, for any man or woman with substantial finances,entering into a marriage contract. Do not allow emotion to make a risky decision, if and when one realises that a partner is not compatible. Often one does not experience the shadow side of another, until after signing a marriage contract. If the one that is asked to sign the contract is irrational and gets very emotional, feel lucky that you are witnessing behavior that is likely to manifest regularly in the future. The appropriate responce would be, that while I believe we are soul mates, I understand that often, soon after marriage people realise they are not compatible and decide to part ways. I will sign. This is not one sided anymore. Woman are increasingly becoming financially abundant and I do not want to read about males or females being manipulated and experiencing a large material loss. Be wise,even when your loins and emotions are on fire!
Dr. Grande, you are so fantastic and appreciated. From the middle of nowhere Kentucky to the Netherlands (where I have a dear friend), you are a household name.

Great video dr grande. I know research goes onto every video you post and I really value your opinion on these situations. Wish there was a Dr grande in every city for patients to consult with!
@@BlackPrimeMinister I agree with you. Even if both people are sincere in staying together for life when they marry, people do change. It's also best when retirement comes around: both partners have a better retirement from both earning income.
while i agree with you on all the very valid points you made, i still have to say this: as manipulative of a person as shkreli appears to be, i truly believe SHE played her damn self in this situation. 🤦🏻♀️
@@ruberthablackman3949 that is absolutely true. shkreli is most definitely a parasitic creature if there ever was one. meanwhile smyth couldn't have been in a good place in her life (at least psychologically) to think that leaving everything for him would somehow be better than whatever life she had previously, which she even described as being "the perfect little brooklyn life". i feel like she's embarrassed and regretful now so i shouldn't be so quick to judge and throw away any ounce of sympathy for her.
This is interesting, thanks Dr. Grande. It would make sense to me that Shkreli is narcissistic and Smythe is codependent. Nothing else makes sense in this situation with such a weasel of a man with such a punchable face. I can imagine he used all the narcissistic tools to reel her in e.g. love bombing, future faking (e.g. discussing names of children). I think perhaps this isn't the first time he's broken up with her ("ghosting" or blowing hot and cold) and that could be why she hasn't accepted this break up as final. I fully believe he's manipulated her. I hope she has a strong support system in place to help her raise her self esteem. The guy will try to reappear and hoover her; I have little doubt of that.
I watch this channel regularly it's like a backstage pass into the minds of those who make the headlines. How about future videos on John Lennon and J.Paul Getty?
I love your videos Dr. Grande! theyre so informative. I love listening to your videos while i work. I think you should do an analysis on "going postal." theres been a couple extreme cases in the PO due to sheer workload and management who lack social skills. I'm able to handle the stress fairly well but still cry on the job on occasion. But i want to know what pushes particular people to do horrible crimes due to workload, or even committing suicide in the office from it. Sometimes this stuff feels illegal 😪 but id love to hear your take on this

Always protect your assets. The sweet person you marry will not be the same sweet person during a divorce. Divorce lawyers get rich on romantic idiots who think prenuptial agreements are not necessary. 50% chance of divorce is too high to risk it. Also should you remarry and have children from a prior marriage, it gets messy. Just be smart. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. People who say you don’t need a prenup either haven’t been divorced or have no assets.
Your channel is the best, Dr. Grande. I check for new vids all the time, and I love watching your older ones explaining different disorders etc. as well. ❤️ P.S. could you analyse some Rick and Morty? I would lose my miiiiiind.
When the jury was being seated for his trial, even people who had never heard of him said, once they saw a picture of him, that they could not be unbiased towards someone who looks like him.
Did anyone notice how Dr. Grandes subscribers go up about a thousand a day? I can’t wait for his 600,000th video. (Mostly to see what he’s wearing:). Good job sir! Actually, looking back it’s a bit more than a thousand.

Dr. Grande, how do we submit requests for mental health analysis videos? I have been rewatching the US version of Kitchen Nightmares recently and I’d love it if you could analyse Amy and Sammy from the Amy’s Baking Company episode. Their personalities fascinate me and I’d love to hear what you think!
Love your channel, Dr. Grande..... how about examining Alec Baldwin’s wife, “Hilaria” (aka Hillary), who has been claiming she was born in Majorca,Spain... claims Spanish is her first language, and that she sometimes can’t “remember the English words for things” and named their 5 children hyper-Spanish names. However, she was born in Boston of a good family,, and although spent some time in Spain and evidently can speak Spanish, is an American and English is her first language. What’s weird is that Alec somehow is either taken in by the ruse or is complicit in it. Her family must know as well. Her parents retired to Majorca as her father was a professor of Spanish literature....I find the whole debacle fascinating. I would love to hear your thoughts on this very strange situation.
Shkreli reminds me of the story about the turtle and the Scorpion. The Scorpion asked the turtle for a ride across the lake but the turtle said: "No, you'll sting me." The Scorpion said: "No I would never do that to a friend." The turtle generously let the Scorpion get on his back and swam halfway across the lake, when the scorpion stung him! The Turtle cried out: " Why did you sting me?" The scorpion said: "Because I'm a scorpion." A-holes are a-holes. Trust them at YOUR own peril. Thank you Dr.Grande for your examination of this narcissistic cretin.
By the point you've watched enough of Dr. Grande's vids to build an idea of what types of characteristics he dislikes; seeing Martin Shkreli in an analysis video immediately felt like a late X-mas gift of future savage puns & a likely appropriately brutal judgment as we witness the good doc analyse "a situation like this." Martin Shkreli is truly one of the worst of the worst, & somewhat obscure to many, so extra cool to see this exposé.
I would love to hear your take on Imelda Marcos and some of the guys on To Catch a Predator, Lorne Armstrong in particular. I know he's been analyzed to death, but you always have an interesting take and you'd be the first mental health professional to offer an opinion. Thanks for keeping us entertained! I can't imagine it's easy to post as prolifically as you do.

AND, you articulate it ALL, so well! Has anyone ever told you..."YOU have a WAY, with WORDS!"...a, true GIFT! You are, not only very intelligent...but ALSO, very witty!

I would love to listen to Dr. Grande's analysis of the infamous RUclips personality Keemstar. I have a hard time comprehending what drives a person to make life difficult for so many people they don't even know. I always enjoy videos from this channel. Keep up the great work, Dr. Grande!
Fun thing is that I think that most of the cartoon characters are meant to be crazy so they probably would be diagnosed with some kind personality disorder in real life.
I would stay as far away from that nutcase as humanly possible. He ain’t right in the head. I watched him on Facebook live-streaming several times for quite a while. He was taking incoming calls from people. Short fused guy.
At one point -- when he was still in the scandal about raising drug proces -- he did call-ins with anyone and everyone who wanted to call him. I remember some streamer calling him and having a pretty long conversation. It seems pretty weird for someone who is in the middle of a scandal to do something like that. Overall he seemed like a really extreme and overly self assured personality -- which made him appear like ar narcissist. I remember him having few redeeming features, besides appearing pretty intelligent. He could rationalize pretty much anything he had done and also rationalized away any and all forms of empathy and emotion. The only time he appeared somewhat human, was when he talked about his brother having autism and that being an important factor in his life. He however also talked about medication for autism -- which as far as I know doesn't exist, which made me doubt a lot of what he said there. You can probably still find those videos online. Pretty interesting case study if you ask me.
So Smythe resigned from her job and divorced her husband only to be rejected by someone like Shkreli?! I am floored.😲 Shkreli is not only a danger to Smythe, but to anyone who comes in contact with him. His moral compass is close to nil. Fascinating case and insightful analysis Dr. Grande!❤️ Btw, if I was a Mental Health Counselor I would love to have you as my supervisor, you seem to be an outstanding one.
Dr Todd: do you believe that the depression and the anti-depressant made him heartless? To act so impulsive and taking risk on high level that threatened his career and personal life? Dr Todd, your channel is the best that i came across in 2020 Many thanks to you
If It's okay, I'd like to give my thoughts on this. depression and antidepressants have nothing to do with having little empathy or zero empathy. The only thing that causes little to no empathy would be a dark triad personality disorder like psychopathy, narcissism, sadism, and machiavellianism.
He did say the Effexor-like drug made him feel invincible. He said it was like a wonder drug or something, and that's part of the inspiration he had for getting into the drug business. So yeah, I could see that maybe the Effexor-like drug he was taking for panic attacks had a part in it, maybe. There's a news article that says this. He also talks about his panic attacks in a video.
Really glad you walked us through this charlie foxtrot. Despite ample evidence that Shkreli is a soulless narcissist, I hoped that he didn't break up this woman's family just to flex. On the other hand, she reported for Breitbart, so this may be an excellent match.
Dr. Grande, have you done or are you planning to do an episode on the Turpin’s. That couple that tortured their 13 children 👶 is truly horrific. Thank you 🙏
She wasn't his gf. He was just using her as an object. He didn't see her as a human being. She was just a vehicle to get him something he wanted, a useful idiot. Because his needs come first, always, and other people are just here to get those needs met for him. He played her when he saw she was into him. You can do that to a certain (codependent) women, too if you wanted to, and if you were a narcissistic asshole and predator, getting a "gf" for yourself as well this way. When he couldn't get what he wanted through her ( a book deal, earlier release from jail) then he dumped her like an old shoe! I always thought having a gf means being in a healthy relationship, this wasn't a relationship, this was a sad farce.
Excellent video as always Dr. Grande :) I would really love to hear your thoughts about Weirdcore and Traumacore. I am someone who consumes this kind of vent art to help with my CSA and just over all traumatic past I had as a child and teen. Thank you for your amazing work❤️

Dear Dr. Todd Grande, thank you very much for your elucidating videos. I didn't get to wish you Happy Holidays. I missed a few people. It is 5:50 PM on Sunday, December 27, 2020 and the Holiday weekend is ending. Hope we can enjoy your informative, trustworthy videos in a soothing voice for many years to come. Thanks a million.

...our best psychologist. thx
"How bad was it that being with Shkreli would be the high point?"
Gotta love that dry humour! Thanks for making this video 👍
I like Dr. Grande’s content before even viewing it. 😊
Thank you Dr. Grande. I requested this one. You made my day!
Yeah, I was hoping he'd do Shkreli. He's so evil. Like comic book villain.
Wth is this joker still around ... thought Ghostface dealt with this comic book villain
Haha good one
Lol that was just clout for him but Ghostface knew that
Could you please analyze George Castanza from Seinfeld? How a short,bald and chubby man who is insecure got all the women.
Good one!!
I wouldn't mind an analysis on each of the characters.
Bald is sexy
Not only did he get them, he was dissatisfied with them...
“I was in the pool! I was in the pool!”
He pulled hotter chicks than Jerry lol.
Thanks for another amazing piece of content!
Great video dr grande. I know research goes onto every video you post and I really value your opinion on these situations. Wish there was a Dr grande in every city for patients to consult with!
One of 2021 goals is to roast with the elegance of Dr. Grande. 🙌🙌🙌🙌👏
"Nothing says 'romance' like a prenuptial agreement."
I will lovingly agree, prenuptiallly, to not marry you, Ms. Smythe.😝💔😁😆
As romance has nothing to do with money, pre-nuptial agreements are good and necessary. A woman can earn her own money.
@@BlackPrimeMinister I agree with you. Even if both people are sincere in staying together for life when they marry, people do change. It's also best when retirement comes around: both partners have a better retirement from both earning income.
There's already too many one sided factors to benefit women from marriage. pre nuptials should be the norm for any aware male today.
@@BlackPrimeMinister - so can a man. As a woman I had a prenup to protect MY assets not his.
@@rideordis810 good for you!👏
"He admitted dishonesty." He probably fancy himself as some kind of Robin Hood. The Smyth woman was kind of sad. He played her.
while i agree with you on all the very valid points you made, i still have to say this: as manipulative of a person as shkreli appears to be, i truly believe SHE played her damn self in this situation. 🤦🏻♀️
@@sadieperry my friend l get your point. I agree with you too but l think that she didn't have much self worth. Parasites can usually pick that up.
@@ruberthablackman3949 that is absolutely true. shkreli is most definitely a parasitic creature if there ever was one. meanwhile smyth couldn't have been in a good place in her life (at least psychologically) to think that leaving everything for him would somehow be better than whatever life she had previously, which she even described as being "the perfect little brooklyn life". i feel like she's embarrassed and regretful now so i shouldn't be so quick to judge and throw away any ounce of sympathy for her.
This is interesting, thanks Dr. Grande. It would make sense to me that Shkreli is narcissistic and Smythe is codependent. Nothing else makes sense in this situation with such a weasel of a man with such a punchable face. I can imagine he used all the narcissistic tools to reel her in e.g. love bombing, future faking (e.g. discussing names of children). I think perhaps this isn't the first time he's broken up with her ("ghosting" or blowing hot and cold) and that could be why she hasn't accepted this break up as final. I fully believe he's manipulated her. I hope she has a strong support system in place to help her raise her self esteem. The guy will try to reappear and hoover her; I have little doubt of that.
Wife: what are you watching ?
Me: some doc talking about crazy people.
Wife: why
Me: I don't know but I can't stop.
😂😂😂 I know right. Did you watch his piece on David Icke - it is a blast👍😉
@@dortesandal4303 yeah I saw it 😂👍🏻
I watch this channel regularly it's like a backstage pass into the minds of those who make the headlines. How about future videos on John Lennon and J.Paul Getty?
I love your videos Dr. Grande! theyre so informative. I love listening to your videos while i work.
I think you should do an analysis on "going postal." theres been a couple extreme cases in the PO due to sheer workload and management who lack social skills. I'm able to handle the stress fairly well but still cry on the job on occasion. But i want to know what pushes particular people to do horrible crimes due to workload, or even committing suicide in the office from it. Sometimes this stuff feels illegal 😪 but id love to hear your take on this
I never cease to be amazed while watching your videos Dr. Grande. 😊
The German word "Backpfeifengesicht" comes to mind.
He does have a slappable face indeed.
@@crochunter35 A German compound word/term that loosely translates to "Cheek pipe face". In common use it means something to the effect of "A face badly in need of a fist"
@@crochunter35 now you go! Quick! What's the hillbilly word for a cheek pipe face?!
Have to brush Up my german😂
Ausgezeichnet!
I was excited to see you made a video on this. I hope she does actually move on to those future endeavors.
So many people fall madly in love with someone who is entirely inappropriate, and nothing friends and family say can stop the disaster from happening.
Because the woman would look at a man's bank account, or the man would look at a woman's body. That's the more primal and short-term view on relationships.
“Because nothing says true romance like a prenuptial agreement.” 🤣
i mean if you think about it, lot of marriages fail. When you have lot of money you want to protect yourself as much as you can.
You shouldn't have to sign a prenup, when you're marrying a comic book villain. Shkreli the Skell.
@@ristekostadinov2820 Then why get married at all ?
The hits keep coming!
Always protect your assets. The sweet person you marry will not be the same sweet person during a divorce. Divorce lawyers get rich on romantic idiots who think prenuptial agreements are not necessary.
50% chance of divorce is too high to risk it.
Also should you remarry and have children from a prior marriage, it gets messy. Just be smart. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
People who say you don’t need a prenup either haven’t been divorced or have no assets.
Your channel is the best, Dr. Grande. I check for new vids all the time, and I love watching your older ones explaining different disorders etc. as well. ❤️ P.S. could you analyse some Rick and Morty? I would lose my miiiiiind.
'' Shkreli does appear to be extremely intelligent, but his level of maturity is too low to make a use of it"
Dr. Grade just spilled the tea.
“ThE HaPpY cOuPle” 😆😂
Didn't expect to see you under a Dr. Grande video.
Worlds collide 😄
lol, clever.
YOu wRiTe StRaNgLy !
Thanks again for another great video. Can you please do a video on the bubble boy. Happy new year to you Dr. Grande
When the jury was being seated for his trial, even people who had never heard of him said, once they saw a picture of him, that they could not be unbiased towards someone who looks like him.
I was waiting for this!!!!
Dr. Grande has such epic burns. Subtle and devastating.
this nigga is cringe
Did anyone notice how Dr. Grandes subscribers go up about a thousand a day? I can’t wait for his 600,000th video. (Mostly to see what he’s wearing:). Good job sir!
Actually, looking back it’s a bit more than a thousand.
During her interview she said she wanted the world to know that he put up a facade and was really a good person🙄... Yeah right. What kind of person price gouges a drug to a population that's already vulnerable? "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time".

**so glad you covered this one Dr. Grande
Hi, could you please make a video on Pazuzu Algarad? Thought it might be interesting. I think I'm getting addicted to your channel haha
One of the biggest jerks of the 21st century. Thanx Dr. Grande! This man is absolutely repellent.
Dr. Grande, how do we submit requests for mental health analysis videos? I have been rewatching the US version of Kitchen Nightmares recently and I’d love it if you could analyse Amy and Sammy from the Amy’s Baking Company episode. Their personalities fascinate me and I’d love to hear what you think!
I was just thinking about this. Thank you😂❤
Wow, great analysis and I loved your summation. Spot on! 🙂👍
Fascinating work as usual, Dr. Grande. Could you do one on Tony Soprano?
I think that he did one already.
@@2manybooks2littletime25 Ah, thx.
@@adrienrassat1965 you're welcome!
Another great video Dr Grande,. I love the quote about the grim reaper and your little laugh had me on the floor.
"How bad was (her life) that being with Shkrelli would be the highpoint?" - haha, savage!
A long awaited analysis
.
Love your channel, Dr. Grande..... how about examining Alec Baldwin’s wife, “Hilaria” (aka Hillary), who has been claiming she was born in Majorca,Spain... claims Spanish is her first language, and that she sometimes can’t “remember the English words for things” and named their 5 children hyper-Spanish names. However, she was born in Boston of a good family,, and although spent some time in Spain and evidently can speak Spanish, is an American and English is her first language. What’s weird is that Alec somehow is either taken in by the ruse or is complicit in it. Her family must know as well. Her parents retired to Majorca as her father was a professor of Spanish literature....I find the whole debacle fascinating. I would love to hear your thoughts on this very strange situation.
Hey Dr. Grande! You think you might do an analysis on The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs?!?!?!
Shkreli reminds me of the story about the turtle and the Scorpion. The Scorpion asked the turtle for a ride across the lake but the turtle said: "No, you'll sting me." The Scorpion said: "No I would never do that to a friend." The turtle generously let the Scorpion get on his back and swam halfway across the lake, when the scorpion stung him! The Turtle cried out: " Why did you sting me?" The scorpion said: "Because I'm a scorpion."
A-holes are a-holes. Trust them at YOUR own peril. Thank you Dr.Grande for your examination of this narcissistic cretin.
By the point you've watched enough of Dr. Grande's vids to build an idea of what types of characteristics he dislikes; seeing Martin Shkreli in an analysis video immediately felt like a late X-mas gift of future savage puns & a likely appropriately brutal judgment as we witness the good doc analyse "a situation like this."
Martin Shkreli is truly one of the worst of the worst, & somewhat obscure to many, so extra cool to see this exposé.
Shkreli reminds me of Hugo the ventriloquist doll in the 1964 film "Devil Doll".
I always click so quickly on Dr Grande's videos when i see new uploads from him
Every time I see Martin Shkreli I think oh cool, the guy from Superbad who says “So are you guys on MySpace?”
I would love to hear your take on Imelda Marcos and some of the guys on To Catch a Predator, Lorne Armstrong in particular. I know he's been analyzed to death, but you always have an interesting take and you'd be the first mental health professional to offer an opinion.
Thanks for keeping us entertained! I can't imagine it's easy to post as prolifically as you do.
🥰💕✨Nothing says true love like a prenuptial agreement 💕🥰✨
Great analysis Dr Grande.I really enjoyed that topic. Thank you Dr Grande have a great day!.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the Hilary “Hilaria” Baldwin saga!!!
Dr. Grande, your analyses are ALWAYS on point! I like, that you...explore/explain the subject's history, make fair/unbiased/skilled/sane observations, research/tell all sides to the story, and that you make accurate assessments/conclusions!
AND, you articulate it ALL, so well! Has anyone ever told you..."YOU have a WAY, with WORDS!"...a, true GIFT! You are, not only very intelligent...but ALSO, very witty! I find your videos, to be very informative, and funny! I learn ALOT, and enjoy them! Thank you!
P. S. If you ever decide to CHANGE your career...I feel you would make, a GREAT Referee, or Comedian!
Please do Lorena Bobbitt
That's a good one
I would love to listen to Dr. Grande's analysis of the infamous RUclips personality Keemstar. I have a hard time comprehending what drives a person to make life difficult for so many people they don't even know. I always enjoy videos from this channel. Keep up the great work, Dr. Grande!
I was laughing at his expressions, he reminds me of a cartoon character.
Like a Vaudeville Villain hahaha
A devious one
Fun thing is that I think that most of the cartoon characters are meant to be crazy so they probably would be diagnosed with some kind personality disorder in real life.
@@blaeckingceorl4161 omg😂😂. Youre absolutely right.
Thanks, I’ve been waiting for this video! Great job as always
I would stay as far away from that nutcase as humanly possible. He ain’t right in the head. I watched him on Facebook live-streaming several times for quite a while. He was taking incoming calls from people. Short fused guy.
"she's in love with Rose instead of me, that's ridiculous"
Wait what? Was this after he publicly became pharma bro? Or are his live streams just on RUclips now? 🤔
@@billie6814 this was before his trial back in like 2016
'Weaseled his way in'...very interesting (and appropriate) terminology he used to describe his behavior.
At one point -- when he was still in the scandal about raising drug proces -- he did call-ins with anyone and everyone who wanted to call him. I remember some streamer calling him and having a pretty long conversation.
It seems pretty weird for someone who is in the middle of a scandal to do something like that. Overall he seemed like a really extreme and overly self assured personality -- which made him appear like ar narcissist. I remember him having few redeeming features, besides appearing pretty intelligent. He could rationalize pretty much anything he had done and also rationalized away any and all forms of empathy and emotion.
The only time he appeared somewhat human, was when he talked about his brother having autism and that being an important factor in his life. He however also talked about medication for autism -- which as far as I know doesn't exist, which made me doubt a lot of what he said there.
You can probably still find those videos online. Pretty interesting case study if you ask me.
So Smythe resigned from her job and divorced her husband only to be rejected by someone like Shkreli?! I am floored.😲
Shkreli is not only a danger to Smythe, but to anyone who comes in contact with him. His moral compass is close to nil.
Fascinating case and insightful analysis Dr. Grande!❤️
Btw, if I was a Mental Health Counselor I would love to have you as my supervisor, you seem to be an outstanding one.
Smythe was smitten then smote by spite.
Jim Morrison's got nothin" on you!

Dr. Grande is getting so popular even my psych professors are linking his vids. ❤️
Dr Todd: do you believe that the depression and the anti-depressant made him heartless? To act so impulsive and taking risk on high level that threatened his career and personal life?
Dr Todd, your channel is the best that i came across in 2020
Many thanks to you
If It's okay, I'd like to give my thoughts on this. depression and antidepressants have nothing to do with having little empathy or zero empathy. The only thing that causes little to no empathy would be a dark triad personality disorder like psychopathy, narcissism, sadism, and machiavellianism.
He did say the Effexor-like drug made him feel invincible. He said it was like a wonder drug or something, and that's part of the inspiration he had for getting into the drug business. So yeah, I could see that maybe the Effexor-like drug he was taking for panic attacks had a part in it, maybe. There's a news article that says this. He also talks about his panic attacks in a video.
Well done video Dr. I was wondering if you could do a video on Jim Henson?
Really glad you walked us through this charlie foxtrot. Despite ample evidence that Shkreli is a soulless narcissist, I hoped that he didn't break up this woman's family just to flex. On the other hand, she reported for Breitbart, so this may be an excellent match.
I thought it was Bloomberg [sp?], a financial news service.
Thanks for doing this case! So great to hear your professional opinion about cases like this
So he has had years of being an unethical operator? "...like the Grim Reaper saying I don't want you." Good one Dr. Grande.
Dr. Grande, have you done or are you planning to do an episode on the Turpin’s. That couple that tortured their 13 children 👶 is truly horrific. Thank you 🙏
So even this guy can get a girlfriend - and while being in prison - and I still can't.
Good Lord...
Yes you can!! Maybe you’ll meet her in the comment section....
@@victoriaarmstrong6498 hahaahahahhahahahha.
No.
I’m in the exact same situation. I mean I can’t find a romantic partner, not that I’m in prison.
She wasn't his gf. He was just using her as an object. He didn't see her as a human being. She was just a vehicle to get him something he wanted, a useful idiot. Because his needs come first, always, and other people are just here to get those needs met for him. He played her when he saw she was into him. You can do that to a certain (codependent) women, too if you wanted to, and if you were a narcissistic asshole and predator, getting a "gf" for yourself as well this way. When he couldn't get what he wanted through her ( a book deal, earlier release from jail) then he dumped her like an old shoe! I always thought having a gf means being in a healthy relationship, this wasn't a relationship, this was a sad farce.
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans Still, I can't even fool people in believing that I have any qualities worth trying a relationship. He managed to do so...
Excellent video as always Dr. Grande :)
I would really love to hear your thoughts about Weirdcore and Traumacore. I am someone who consumes this kind of vent art to help with my CSA and just over all traumatic past I had as a child and teen. Thank you for your amazing work❤️
I smelled narcissistic arrogance all over this one. I had never heard of him, but I think you must be a good teacher. ☺
Thank you Dr Grande. 🌹👍
Wow, I requested this case! Thanks Dr. Grande.
