After. Long after. We lived together for about four years before we decided to get married... because I knocked her up.

Season 4, Episode 4: Ring Around the Rosie
The guy who "diagnoses" Jane is the new team's boss and has a Master's in forensic psychology. However, I am a bit confused on that diagnosis because from what I understand, psychopaths don't typically have nervous breakdowns or become incredibly sad, yet Jane did with the serial killer Red John.

Ah, that's his name... I knew it started with a "J". I'll have to watch the episode later. I'm already procrastinating way too much as it is... As far as psychopaths becoming incredibly sad... It isn't impossible. What's that word? Inconceivable...
... Although, it's rare. Highly unlikely. I recently read an article which stated that psychopaths may experience normal emotions in certain scenarios (extreme loneliness, grief, rejection, etcetera). I'll try to find it later and maybe start a new thread on the topic...

I cant argue there, in non-psychiatric medicine, there are many new diagnoses, although in psychiatry, there's more disorders added and removed. If you look through the proposed structure for the DSM-V, some disorders are added, and some have their names changed. An interesting change is to anti-social personality disorder, as it is proposed to being re-named dyssocial personality disorder, reflecting dissocial personality disorder in the ICD-10, probably because so many people were confused by the "anti-social" part, they thought ASPD was more like avoidant or schizoid personality disorders.

Oh, goody! I get a brand new label! Perhaps, if they're going to state that manipulation is an indication of a disorder, they should clarify what constitutes pathological manipulation...

I wasn't on this site 2 years ago, so what were your reasons for initially coming here versus the current reasons for remaining here?

My wife had a baby. I was stressed out at the time and mulling over things. Now, I'm not here for any specific reason. Certain things will come up from time to time that I like to discuss, and I enjoy the conversation.
