I think it's totally possible to be a sociopath and not have ASPD, and vice versa. I also think they're trying to eliminate personality disorders from the DSM.



I wonder why?


I also heard they are eliminating narcissistic personality disorder too.

Why would they do that? Personality disorders are very real and affects the person a lot. Will they make new categories for them altogether?

Well, it's more like they're doing research to alternative explanations for personality disorders, and gradually replacing them with other mental diagnosis'. It isn't like it's being totally eliminated next year, and it's not like they're denying that it's real.

So, yes. In essence, new categories and diagnosis' for personality disorders.

Hmm... it'll be interesting to follow the development.
