It's not just serial killers any more: Politicians, athletes, your boss, maybe even your friends - all of them are being labeled psychos.
But while it's possible your control-freak boss or that girl you knew in college is a psychopath, the term is mostly used in a way that's completely wrong.
Pop-culture references aren't helping the situation. Sorry guys, but Norman Bates isn't a psycho, and Sherlock Holmes might not be, either. Disappointingly, not even Patrick Bateman of "American Psycho" may be a true psychopath.
These are the five ways we're all getting psychopathy wrong in almost every instance.
