About this episode

The episode explores the differences between psychopaths, sociopaths, and antisocial personality disorder while addressing Dr. Ramani's claims about their origins.

What is the real difference between a psychopath, a sociopath, and antisocial personality disorder? In this episode, I respond to Dr. Ramani's claim that "psychopaths are born and sociopaths are made" and explain why that framing is far too simplistic. I also explain why cold psychopaths unsettle us so much and how antisocial personality disorder fits into this.
