A yandere is typically someone who kills for love.

They are usually very devoted and "loving", but also violent and "psychotic".

"Yandere (ヤンデレ) is a portmanteau of two Japanese words yanderu (病んでる), meaning to be sick, and deredere (デレデレ), which is defined as strongly and deeply exhausted, infatuated, moonstruck, head-over-heels, or lovestruck, but in this case used for 'lovestruck,'" says yourdictionary.com

They are "sick" because as said before, normally they will kill for love.
