Hi there,

As you'll be aware the "sociopaths" category was deleted and "merged" it with "psychopath".

I don't agree with this, and initailly thought "Sociopaths" ahould be brought back. However i have a better idea now.

Basically, psychopaths and sociopaths are similar but aren't synonymous with each other (as is discussed on the category page). Having antisocial personality disorder on it's own means you are a sociopath and not a psychopath. Someone can be both if they have a antisocial along with another disorder from the same group.

There are some characters who fitted the definiton of socioapths rather than psychopaths and vice versa. Because of this, i was wondering if the category currently named "Psychopath" could be renamed "Psychopath/Sociopaths" so its one category that can cover both or either one of them.

I feel tht it would make most sense considering everything stated above and that villains are commonly referred to as "sociopaths".

Thanks.
