I am sure that God never shown himself to this guy..What changed him was the "hope" that he wasn't going to fade into nothing.
Which frankly is powerful but it doesn't make it anymore true.

Why?
because YOU havent' seen him?
He's been in prison, not to mention several mental institutions. He's out now. If he was still psychotic, he'd still be incarcerated. That says a lot. Doesn't it? His life has been changed for the better, and he gives God the credit. That's all that matters. Doctors couldn't help him. Psychiatrists couldn't help him. Only God could help Him. I rest my case.A man who used to be a psychotic atheist explains how God changed his life
So what? Absent demonstrable evidence that a panel of psychiatrists having attested to his psychopathy having been cured, I don't see any sound reason to even listen to what such an individual has to say, much less propagate what they have said. "Psychotic atheist" or "psychotic theist." They're both psychotic. None of us needs input from either of them.
This is an amazing story about the power of God to change lives. It's a bit long, but's it's anything but boring. Please check it out when you find a half hour to spare.
I can't think of anything. Which begs the question. Who but God could have helped someone like this guy? I mean, he tried to kill his own father. Considering how messed up this guy was, it can only be a miracle that saved him. The miracle of Salvation through Christ.Is there anything more fucked up than the human mind?

He used to think he was smarter than everyone he argued with as an Atheist, and now he thinks he is smarter than everyone he argues with as a Christian, so what's the difference?A man who used to be a psychotic atheist explains how God changed his life.
Are you blind? Just listen to what he says. He doesn't sound like a psychopath. And why would a psychopath go to the trouble of creating this video in order to give others hope?I am sure that God never shown himself to this guy..What changed him was the "hope" that he wasn't going to fade into nothing.

Not necessarily at all. For instance, whether his release suggests his psychosis has been cured partly depends on whether his sentence was suspended to effect his early release, as contrasted with his being released in accordance with standard parole procedures, or released simply because the tenure of his sentence had passed. Another thing it depends on is his ability and predilection to be and not be a recidivist, which, with regard to his psychopathy, he can only be if psychiatrists/psychologists have declared he's overcome his psychopathy. If you have evidence of their having done so, by all means, share it. That's all you really need do in order to elevate the man's remarks to a status of being potentially worth considering.
There is also the matter that while psychotic individuals who are also incarcerated can be placed under psychiatric supervision and given treatment (that doesn't mean the "patient" responds positively to the treatment given), psychotic individuals who are not imprisoned, and/or whose prison sentence has expired, cannot unless there's strong evidence their psychosis makes them a physical threat to other's well being. Consequently, it's very possible the man's psychosis(-es) remain unabated.

why would a psychopath go to the trouble of creating this video in order to give others hope?
Wood was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy) and was sentenced to ten years in prison for malicious wounding. While in prison, he was confronted with a fellow prisoner named Randy[8] who was a devout Christian. Wood often challenged Randy's Christian beliefs, initially claiming that Randy was only a Christian because he was born into a primarily Christian society, specifically the United States.[7] Wood began to read the Bible in order to respond to Randy's rebuttals but it eventually led Wood to convert to Christianity in 1996 himself, and to eventually reconcile with his father.[8]Are you blind?

Whether he does or doesn't depends on the nature of psychopathy(-ies) you have in mind.
why would a psychopath go to the trouble of creating this video in order to give others hope?
That is a question better directed at the specific psychopath who makes any given set of remarks. There's likely no limit to the reasons why people say and do the things they do. Some of those reasons can be soundly inferred and others cannot.
