India's Youngest Psychokiller - Amarjeet Sada
Psychopathy is A trait that researchers are researching even today. If we see the book's definition of it then it is a trait that makes a person very insensitive, unemotional, and morally depraved. A psychopath has feelings toward anything. Not even for humans. This is why they don't think before doing anything or taking any action. Even if it is something serious like murder. Psychopaths become so out of touch with reality that they don't even realize that what they're doing is a crime. It's an offence, he's hurting someone.

I swear New York is the nearest place to hell
I looked at myself in the mirror. I know my name was Clementine when I was baptized, so if people call me Clementine, think about it, even Clementine, it's probably okay, because it's my name after all. But they don't even call me that. Everybody calls me Tisci. I think that'll work. I'm tired, and I'm starting to think that maybe everything that's going on makes sense. Here's the thing: If it doesn't make sense, how could something like this happen? But the idea is terrifying. Such thoughts must be the result of trouble -- and unreasonable trouble.

Did you know they still use Electric Shock Therapy?
In the summer of 2020 I had the worst manic-psychotic episode of my 16 years dealing with Schizoaffective Disorder. I went from full blown manic to catatonic (the most severe symptom of depression). It happened in less than 72 hours, something that is theoretically impossible. My husband was faced with a terrible choice. He had to apply for temporary-immediate guardianship to allow him to consent to a treatment that I had told him I never wanted. ECT or Electroconvulsive Therapy was used for many years unethically in things like Gay Conversion Therapy. It was once famous for its controversy, perceived as brutal and is depicted in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as torture.

Delusional Parasitosis
In the year 2021 I had learned a lot about myself, I had experienced some sort of mental collapse. I was extremely lonely, exhausted, and lost. No one could save me, I had to get myself right on my own. So I made efforts, made a few appointments and did tons of research online about different symptoms and what my case could be so I could mention that to a doctor. I saw a psychiatrist and ended up with a prescription for methylphenidate. Apparently I was diagnosed with ADHD and from what I can tell it explains a lot about my behavior. So I went home with my prescription and took it the following evening before work. Suddenly I was able to focus on a task and get actual work done again.

Misconceptions about Schizophrenia
I have schizophrenia, and I am sick. Sick of stigma. It cripples me more than the disease, and that’s saying a lot. I’m tired of people with schizophrenia being thought of as violent, creepy, stupid, and incapable.
