Sociopaths are not necessarily hypochondriacs. Hypochondria is a completely different mental disorder from antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy/psychopathy). Those with hypochondria excessively worry about having serious illnesses, often jumping from doctor to doctor to check for their diagnoses. On the other hand, despite the name, those with antisocial personality disorder are not always antisocial; they can actually be rather talkative people. Those with antisocial personality disorder often lack empathy for others and may participate in stealing or lying. Although hypochondria and antisocial personality disorder are different, it doesn't mean that someone can't be both a hypochondriac and a sociopath. Thus, the question you posed is not impossible, but sociopathy is not classified under hypochondria.

Most certainly. Exact figures are impossible to forecast because of lack of presentation and inexpert diagnosis.

The term psychopathy was perhaps first introduced and refined by Cleckley and Hare. The list if traits is quite long but probably the closest correlations in the DSM are the "cluster B" personality disorders.Exact classifications of the personality disorders between the sexes is blighted by gender politics but much of the modern psychological thinking suggests that the masculine form of psychopathy is most commonly seen as AntiSocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)and the feminine form of psychopathy is manifested mainly as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD.) Although these are regarded as masculine or feminine styles they can be widely found in both men and women.
