Why would the entire staff at a state mental hospital have these personality traits?

It is funny because the people who do things to provoke a response believe they can do whatever they desire or want to do, with complete disregard for others. They lack the ability to properly empathize with patients who have depression.

So, aren’t the symptoms of a psychopath the inability to empathize with others? Isn’t another symptom behaving with a complete disregard for others?

They also tend to have a belief that they are more important than their patients. What personality disorder is that a symptom of?
No, they treat you like you committed some sort of felony.
Why would they be allowed to work in a career where they are unable to percieve things from the patient’s perspective?
How can they properly evaluate their patients if they have these personal issues?
How can they properly evaluate their patients if they have these personal issues?

Why are individuals who are psychopath allowed to work in mental health care?

It is funny because the people who do things to provoke a response believe they can do whatever they desire or want to do, with complete disregard for others. They lack the ability to properly empathize with patients who have depression.

So, aren’t the symptoms of a psychopath the inability to empathize with others? Isn’t another symptom behaving with a complete disregard for others?

They also tend to have a belief that they are more important than their patients. What personality disorder is that a symptom of?
That is why I am saying that they are unable to empathize with depressed patients.
Well why would the entire staff at a state mental hospital have these personality traits?

Do you believe ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) is effective in treating depression?

In recent years, ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) as a treatment for severe depression is being used by a growing number of Psychiatrists. The modern technique includes the use of very low AC voltages applied to one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) of the skull. The patient is anesthesized and feels nothing. ECT in no way resembles the barbaric "shock treatments" portrayed in the movies (e.g. "Fear Strikes Out", the Jimmy Piersall story). However, it is nonethless controversial. There are claims that it causes permanent brain damage and memory loss. The AMA and APA claim that the procedure is safe and effective in treating depression. What do you think?
