Can a person diagnosed with bipolar also have some of the characteristics of a sociopath?
Although there may be the occasional common symptom between Bipolar disorder and sociopathy, it is not a very high comorbity if at all. In order to be bipolar you must have manic episodes with either major depressive disorder (bipolar type I; MDD) or dysthemia (bipolar type II; a more prolonged less severe form of MDD). Both MDD and dysthemia involve a severe level of emotions including anger, sadness, fear, loneliness, etc. For this reason, one of the most important aspects of sociopathy (lack or emotion) gets in the way of a comorbid diagnosis. Still, there's always someone out there to prove that it does exist. I'm just saying it's unlikely in my opinion.
