Do you consider sociopathy and psychopathy to be sicknesses?

• intralizee 8y ago
  Human events being unfavorable and resulting in sociopathy are as similar to how some linear process will trigger psychopathy. You can make the comparison as well to how an unfortunate person becomes ill of any illness.

  Someone else already replied, I agree with them, yes. I'm curious if anyone wouldn't?

    I guess it could be because I'm not a psychologist, but I was always under the impression psychopathy & sociopathy were innate. Like, I don't know, being gay.

      I think the generally understanding is that psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.
