Within this essay I will reflect on the statement “The psychopath is not mentally ill; he is evil.”Matching this to my understanding of mental illness and its consequences and secondly to my understanding of Evil by applying the Christian values ​​I witnessed when I was little, and secondly to the philosophical thought of Thomas Hobbes. The statement “psychopaths are not mentally ill” made me realize that I didn't really understand what it meant to be mentally ill, however I thought a good starting point would be to understand what it meant to be “sane” in the first place. The first thing I analyzed was what it meant to be “mentally healthy.” according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, being mentally “healthy” is a “state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, and can work productively and fruitfully ”. ” producing an interesting idea that being 'healthy' involves a deep connection with acting firstly sociably and secondarily rationally. Mental illness on the other hand was as expected, the exact opposite of being “healthy.” It is described as "health conditions characterized by changes in thinking, mood or behavior (or a combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning", inferring that being mentally unwell means having a problem with the mind that causes changes in your personality compared to how you were perceived while you were "healthy", therefore causing changes in your rationality and even your sociability, the information also dictates that mental illness is a developmental factor, resulting from social or environmental stressors at any time and to anyone. With this information I consider...... half of the paper ...... Essay that I have identified, within the confines of my understanding, first, what it means to be mentally ill and secondly what it means to be "Bad " '. Therefore I would like to modify the original statement of “The psychopath is not mentally ill; it is evil." For this reason, Psychopathy is a biological difference and therefore cannot be defined as a mental illness; However, this does not mean that psychopathic people cannot develop mental illnesses. Second, while psychopaths can be defined in both Hobbesian and Christian theology as generically evil, their label depends on how a society views them as such. http://books.google.co.nz/books?id= -mid0Y3zCSIC&pg=PA31&lpg =PA31&dq=pcl-r+cutoff+score+UK&source=bl&ots=UlA4quFYhL&sig=tslQR3Y1jJUsVOPu9U-449WMVZI&hl=en&ei=ykF7Tui7KNGDtgeXzdn-Dw&sa=X&oi=book_result& ct=result&redir_esc=y#v=onepage &q=pcl-r%20cutoff% 20score%20UK&f=false
