My best attempt at differentiating a psychopath from a sociopath. Psychopaths are generally born. Sociopaths are generally made. Psychopaths have no moral code, no conscience, sociopaths have a skewed one. A psychopath will commit violence for the thrill of it often sexual. A sociopath will commit violence out of, to them, necessity. A psychopath could kill a person in his family as easily as a stranger. Not usually so with a sociopath. Sociopaths are often spontaneous where psychopaths can be very meticulous planners. Sociopaths can be treated by bringing their skewed moral compass back in alignment.
