Are psychopaths necessarily bad people?

Not necessarily. There are many psychology studies that shown how people can have psychopathic traits but do not act criminally. It is also important to consider that a person may be classed as a psychopath due to trauma they have experienced, so was that person always a bad person or was they made a psychopath by a bad person?

Some "psychopaths" can be those who suffer from various mental health issues. But not all "psychopaths" are the same!

Nobody is necessarily a bad person, psychopaths need help and support just like everyone else. After all, it is a disorder.

Usually people think of psychopaths as bad people. They *can* mean well, but they are probably mentally ill and that prevents something from working. They do actions they might not even know they're doing.

In my experience, not all of them. Especially the young ones who just haven't quite figured themselves out yet, and are influenced by others.

no, being psychopathic just means that a person has more of an urge towards there primitive instinct of survival, making them have thoughts of suicide and homicide. however, some d not want these thoughts, so why would they be classed as bad people?

I personally don't think they are because they aren't necessarily the same as portrayed in movies. It's a personality disorder just as many others are.

They arent necessarily bad people. You just got to learn more about them and what they have been through in life in order to have become that way.

no,personally i think it really depends. psychopaths are like a mental illness that causes people to be like that. it is not really a person's personality.

No, they don't have to be bad people, most of them are just normal people who have to deal with problems haven't ever talked about. So the result is it frustration, feeling of being misunderstood etc.
