Similarities/Differences between a Sociopath and Psycopath?

Answer 1

Neither are official medical terms, they are both generically “antisocial personality disorders”.

Generally though a sociopath is someone who acts selfishly without regard for anyone else but they are not deliberately hurting someone – they just don’t care. A psychopath is usually described as someone acting without a clear personal motive and who often harms others intentionally.
