The sociopathy, also well-known like upheaval of antisocial personality (TPA), is a psychic pathology of nature that derives in that the people who suffer it they lose the notion of the importance of the social norms, as they are the individual laws and rights. Although, generally, it can be detected as of the 18 years of age, esteem that the symptoms and characteristics come being developed from the adolescence.

The sociopaths are people who suffer badly of psiquiatry nature, a serious picture of antisocial personality that makes them avoid to the pre-established norms; they do not know or they cannot adapt to them. By that, although they know that they are doing badly, act by impulse to reach what they wish, committing in many cases serious crimes. It is common that one is confused to the sociopathy with other pathologies of the same class, as they could be the criminal conduct, antisocial or the psicopathy. But they are upheavals, although related, of different characteristics, with other treatments and consequences.

CAUSES

Esteem that this upheaval is caused by a variety of factors. Many are of nature genetics, inherited of some member of the family who already suffered them. But also the surroundings of the person, specially the one of the direct relatives, has much importance in its later development. The investigators tambié n considers that biological factors exist that can contribute in their progress. The manifestation of abnormal chemical processes in the nervous system and possible damages in the parts of the brain that concern to the decision making can get to wake up an impulsive and aggressive behavior. The narcotic abuse can be one of the TPA causes.

I think of Sociopaths as people who know the difference between right and wrong - but don't believe that the distinction applies to THEM. You know - like politicians!
