Empathy, empath and empathic psychic all deserve their own articles. There's nothing in Hide which justifies the centralisation of those words. The only possible redirect Hide allows is for the noun empathic. But you clearly don't need to be an empath to have empathy, any more than you need to be a lawyer to be governed by laws. And an empath is not necessarily a psychic. An empath can simply be someone who reflects other people's emotions, without any sort of clairvoyance or other supernatural abilities. An empath could just be the equivalent of a living mood ring, and in such a case psychic wouldn't really apply.
