Really? OK cheers Smile

Now I'm confused!

As she described it, a psycopath has no moral compass, enjoys the pain of others and receives four times the normal chemical reward response. A sociopath just has a moral compass pointing in the wrong direction.

Could you clarify which of those is correct, and what (if anything) the other condiction would be called?
I see them as all intertwined (psycopath/sociopath/antisocial/dissocial), its just a matter of degree. Ya know I like to read:

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
