These are completely different and independent diagnosis, thus one could be any of these:

  • bipolar
  • sociopath
  • bipolar & sociopath

Bipolar is a mood disorder and is characterized by extreme variation of mood (manic highs and depressive lows). Bipolar episodes are usually self terminating and between them the person is completely "normal". Treatment with medications (i.e. mood stabilizers) is very effective at both terminating and preventing episodes.

Sociopathy is a personality disorderoften described informally as having a complete lack of conscience. Such people are only able to act in their own personal interest and have no empathy for others or ability to understand that other people have feelings and needs of their own. Many sociopaths are violent criminals. There is no treatment that can create a conscience when one is born without it.

Well, if you have to ask.... you might be in trouble!

Actually, the truth is, if you fear that you might be "causing issues because you are a sociopath", you are not one. A true sociopath has no conscience, and it doesn't matter to them what anybody thinks of them.
