Scientists identified genetic factors of psychopathy and pointed out a potential new treatment

Psychopathy – a personality disorder, characterized by extremely antisocial behaviour, radical egoism, lack of empathy and sometimes even traits of cruelty. Psychopathy causes a great deal of personal and social problems and although it’s been researched for decades, no one knows the exact causes of it.

Now scientists  the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Helsinki and Karolinska Institutet in Sweden say that psychopathy may be stemming from genes that have previously been associated with autism. https://www.technology.org/2019/09/04/scientists-identified-genetic-factors-of-psychopathy-and-pointed-out-a-potential-new-treatment/
