Generally you can consider that most of my posts are subject to /s (sarcasm) /jk /m (mockery) (rarely all at the same time) - and/or are a mild attempt at stimulating the brains of the persons who'll take the time to read them.it is not enough to do one of the above things occasionally to be diagnosed as a psycho-/ sociopath. "indicated by a pattern of..." and "without remorse or empathy for those victimized" are the key phrases here.
you need to score quite high (25 or 30 of max 40 points) on the PCL-R to be diagnosed with this disorder.
generally spoken personality disorders are difficult to diagnose exactly, because they are sometimes overlapping or floating borders between them. it doesn't help that the prominent classification and diagnostic tools, the DSM-5 and ICD-10, define the disorders a bit differently.
subsequently I was only trying to show that Ivy was Not a psycho (as was implied earlier) and that anyone could branded as one - apparently I failed in my attempt (sorry)
(I'll try to do better next time)
