Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "Serial homicide is rarely impulsive—it’s a progression from fantasy to action. Violent sexual fantasies are rehearsed internally, reinforced over time, and gradually require real-world enactment to achieve the same psychological relief or arousal. Fantasy fuels planning; planning lowers inhibition; action then strengthens the fantasy loop. In the Jeffrey Dahmer case, this pattern was evident.

Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "As a psychiatrist I see psychosis often, here’s how to handle it: When a loved one is experiencing psychosis, trying to “talk sense” into them usually does more harm than good. In psychosis, the brain is misinterpreting reality—hallucinations and delusions feel absolutely real. Arguing facts or saying “that’s not true” can increase fear, agitation, and paranoia, and can break trust at the exact moment they need safety the most. What does help is validating the em

Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "As someone who reviews applications and interviews residents every year, here’s a gentle truth: we can tell when you’re performing. Polished answers aren’t the same as authentic ones. We’re not looking for perfection — we’re looking for sincerity, curiosity, humility, and self-awareness. It’s okay to pause, to reflect, to say “I don’t know yet” or “I’m still learning.” Those moments tell us far more about who you’ll be as a colleague and physician than rehearsed

Well, dementia is a very broad term for a progressive memory and cognitive that can be caused by many things : Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, Vascular Dementia, Frontotemporal Disease, TBI among other pathologies.

Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "Over-diagnosing bipolar disorder in kids matters more than people realize. Children’s brains and emotions are still developing, and big mood swings, impulsivity, or intense reactions don’t automatically mean a lifelong mood disorder. Anxiety, ADHD, trauma, sleep problems, or stress can look similar, and when the label is wrong, it can shape how a kid sees themselves and how others treat them. There’s also the risk of strong medications being used when they aren’t

Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "People often ask me, “Why do the voices feel so real?” As a psychiatrist who treats patients with auditory hallucinations, I explain it this way: the brain is actually hearing something, but it’s hearing its own inner speech. Brain scans show that when someone with schizophrenia hears voices, the same hearing and language centers light up as if another person were talking. The problem isn’t imagination—it’s that the brain doesn’t recognize the voice as coming fro

Here’s why self-diagnosing psychiatric conditions using AI is risky: 🧩 Many psychiatric disorders look nearly identical on the surface • ADHD can look like anxiety • Bipolar disorder can look like depression • Trauma can look like personality disorders • Sleep deprivation alon

In my clinical experience , Relationships involving someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are often difficult because the disorder alters how a person experiences themselves and others. Beneath outward confidence is a fragile sense of self-esteem, protected by defenses such as grandiosity, entitlement, and emotional distance, which interfere with healthy connection and this just feels terrible for the partner (trust me the one suffering from NPD isn’t “happy” they just don’t know

From a psychiatric perspective, it can be frustrating when terms like bipolar disorder are used casually to describe normal mood swings because it blurs the line between everyday emotional variability and a serious medical condition. All humans have moods that change in response to stress, relationships, sleep, and life events—that’s normal emotional regulation. Bipolar disorder, however, is defined by distinct mood episodes that are sustained, impairing, and biologically driven, often involving

Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "🧠 What are delusions? Delusions are fixed beliefs that feel completely real, even when there’s clear evidence against them. They are not imagination, ignorance, or stubbornness — they’re brain-based experiences. 🔍 Common examples (not choices): • Believing others are secretly watching or following you • Being convinced a partner or friend is plotting harm • Believing your thoughts are being controlled or broadcast • Being certain you caused a major disaster wit

Dr. "D" Sportelli on Instagram: "Sexual abuse is not about attraction. It is about power. As a psychiatrist, I can tell you that when wealthy or powerful men engage in sexual abuse, it is rarely driven by sexual desire alone. It is more often rooted in specific personality traits: entitlement, lack of empathy, narcissism, and the psychological effects of prolonged unchecked power. When someone lives in an environment where they are rarely told “no,” their brain can begin to distort boundaries. O
