Waite, who authored an extensive psychohistory of Hitler, concluded that he suffered from borderline personality disorder, which manifested its symptoms in numerous ways and would imply Hitler was in full control of himself and his actions. Others have proposed Hitler may have been schizophrenic[citation needed], based on claims that he was hallucinating and delusional during his last year of life. Many people believe that Hitler had a mental disorder and was not schizophrenic nor bipolar, but rather met the criteria for both disorders, and was therefore most likely a schizoaffective. If true, this might be explained by a series of brief reactive psychoses in a narcissistic personality which could not withstand being confronted with reality (in this case, that he was not the "superman" or "savior of Germany" he envisioned himself to be, as his plans and apparent early achievements collapsed about him). In addition, his regular methamphetamine use and possible sleep deprivation in the last period of his life must be factored into any speculation as to the cause of his possible psychotic symptoms, as these two activities are known to trigger psychotic reactions in some individuals. However, Hitler never visited a psychiatrist, and under current methodology, any such diagnosis is speculation.
Yes. Being a psychopath doesn't mean they cannot feel emotions. He has a 'messiah complex' which basically means he thinks he was sent by God or himself is God. This reason alone could explain why he can't see the problem killing 6 millio jews. You know the guy who set off the bomb in Norway, oslo then killed people in summer camp recently. He killed them because he wants to stop the spread of muslim. Which is basically like Hitler. That guy is insane BTW
what is all this talk of mental illness? illness? he had the super-human ability to bend the world according to his will, and here we are talking about him like he had a disability, grow up ! if anything he had a super-abilty.. UNFORTUNATELY FOR SOME, HE WAS ANGRY TOO
whether he was good or evil is beside the point of your question

I'd say he was a sociopath in relation to the jews and a psychopath in relation to his war on the world
