What Medical Disorder Is It To Lack In Empathy?
My daughter has had problems since the age of 13. Personality started changing. Progressively worse as the years have gone by. The main thing is she lacks any kind of empathy. She isn t on heavy drugs but does drink and smoke pot. She has a 2 year old and a 3 year old and all of a sudden has just given up trying to raise them and left them with me her parent. Never calls to check on them but when you speak to her she is totally delusional and lies all the time to me and her friends. do you have any suggestions in what kind of medical problem she may have or how to help her.
