Re: Dating a psychopath
That’s cool.
For clarification: clinical psychologists deal with all the same disorders. The only difference is that they don’t go the drug route but believe in cognitive/behavioural/emotional therapy. Though, for major disorders, I am sure some clients are prescribed drugs, in addition to therapy.
Interestingly enough, I have a research paper, for a tiny bit of which, I am comparing drug usage for a specific disorder with psychotherapy. Like you said, it is pretty evident that if one stops taking the drug, the symptoms come right back. With a psychotherapeutic approach (depending on what disorder it is), it may go away for good.
