Can Sociopath be a result from being Bi-Polar?!
Question: A sociopath is a "behavioral disorder"...where as Bi-polar is
a "chemical disorder"...a person can have both and it can feed one another in the mood swings. Sadly if you look it up
online though sociopath behavior is a chosen route to go early on in a persons life. A good example of Sociopathic behavoir is the Scott Peterson (one who murdered his pregnant wife Lacey Peterson a few years back)...however a bi-polar individual can just be your neighbor who seems to have weird highs like cleaning the whole house at 1:00a.m. or
calling friends at midnight to just say hey. (when you know they are sleeping for work the next day). Hope this gives you a good basis to answer your question. (I lived with a sociopath who has bi-polar)...its not fun, and can be quite scary. Hope if its you your wondering about or someone you care about, you or they get some help. But, most sociopaths
don't admit they are like that so help is out of reach and possibility for their recovery. Hope things work out. Take care.

not a result of being bipolar
Being a sociopath as far as the mental illness form is not a result of being bipolar. However there are symptons involved in bipolar that can make one be out of tune to other peoples emotions and needs. The violent mood swings can result in even the person being confused with what they themselves are feeling so understanding other peoples feelings can often prove impossible for them.
