Are sociopaths hypochondriacs?
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.
