Many people use the terms sociopathy and psychopathy interchangeably, but they have different meanings. “Sociopath” is an unofficial term to describe a person who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), whereas psychopathy describes a set of personality traits. However, ASPD and psychopathy can overlap. Learn about the differences in this video.

Remember that this video is not made to attack anyone who may display these signs or anyone diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, but rather to understand and bring more awareness to the topic! This video is also for informative purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.
