What's the difference between a psychopath, sociopath, anti-social disorder, and dissocial disorder?
Q. I know many say they're the same thing, but I've heard that experts say they're not.

Q. In practice, mental health professional rarely treat psychopathic personality disorders as they are considered untreatable and no interventions have proven to be effective. In England and Wales the diagnosis of dissocial personality disorder is grounds for detention in secure psychiatric hospitals under the Mental Health Act if they have committed serious crimes, but since such individuals are disruptive for other patients and not responsive to treatment this alternative to prison is not often used So they are not only incapable of being placed in an institution due to their level of disruptiveness (therefore negating alternatives to institutionalization except for jail) but do not respond to therapy (which may make their condition worse… [cont.]

A. I think... sometimes there is no correct answer. Western medicine usually treats symptoms, yet often the cause is imbalance due to dietary or other behavioral imbalance. I also think this is a plea for help by the authorities, even they are aware that solutions are lacking.
