They have been known to. Being a sociopath doesn't mean one doesn't experience depression. Clinical depression in sociopaths or anyone else presents a suicide danger.
Because a major part of a relationship is learning to care about the other person's needs, and a major part of staying with someone is not wanting to hurt them by leaving. Sociopaths cannot by definition do either of those.
The condition is not curable, nor is it even treatable. There is no known treatment of any kind for antisocial personality disorder that has shown any efficacy. No drugs have shown to be effective and interactions with therapists tend to make sociopaths more manipulative, rather than less so. The only available option, sadly, is to incarcerate sociopaths if and when they commit a crime.
A person who commits heinous acts is often referred to as a criminal, wrongdoer, or offender.
Yes. Sociopaths commit suicide. But, not for the same reason that a non sociopath would. My cousin's son has been professionally diagnosed by paid counselors, Psychologists and Psychiatrists. He committed suicide last week end. Prior to that, he was becoming progressively violent to his family and friends. His girlfriend could no longer accept his physical abuse & began to threaten to leave him. He counter threatened, if you leave me, I'll hang myself with THIS rope. Because a Sociopath has no conscience of right and wrong, they seem to be unable to control their inappropriate and abusive behavior. They also don't seem to have an ability to process or rationalize the consequence of their actions. Therefore, an act to commit suicide doesn't address the sociopath with the same finality it would for a non sociopath. The thought that a suicide and the consequences of carrying that suicide out, wouldn't occur to a sociopath. It wouldn't occur to him or even bother him if he could think about it, that this action is a final action and there are no 'do overs'. For a Sociopath, this is an act to control, hurt and destroy. It is not an act of depression but rather of rage.
A person who lacks empathy and shows no emotional response to significant events like killing someone is often described as a sociopath or psychopath. These individuals may exhibit antisocial behavior and have difficulty forming emotional connections with others.
this is the definition to sociopath Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy orsociopathy. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for thefeeling and welfare of others. As a clinical diagnosis it is usuallylimited to those over age 18.

Heinous crimes often belong in the conflict theory of deviance, which emphasizes how power differentials and social inequality can drive individuals to commit such extreme acts. Conflict theorists argue that heinous crimes can be understood as a response to societal injustices and power struggles.
Claude Frollo's obsessive lust for Esmeralda drives him to commit heinous acts, such as plotting to have her executed and attempting to force her to be with him. His unchecked desire blinds him to reason and morality, ultimately leading to his downfall.
Assisted suicide means that someone is helping someone commit suicide. Therefore it's any of the usual ways to commit suicide, just with someone helping.

In the play "Macbeth," Macbeth declares that ambition is the only motivation that drives him to commit murder. He believes that his ambition to become king overpowers his moral conscience and leads him to commit heinous acts in order to achieve his goals.
