Terms found in the psychological or medical literature are descriptions of conditions
while derogatory ones are more descriptions of the actual person with the condition

Calling a psychopath a cunt for example tells you absolutely nothing at all about their psychopathy
It is also unreliable as it will be based upon the subjective interpretation of the one using the term

Psychologists and psychiatrists tend to operate to a more rigorous standard of classification as they are doctors
and therefore understand the scientific method. There are for example 22 different classifications for criminal
psychopathy. There are not 22 classifications for cunt even though like many things it also exists on a spectrum
