Not really - a sociopath might be depressed, but usually they are fairly cheerful beggars.

Sociopathy is a type of antisocial disorder where the person has no feelings of guilt or responsibility, and feels dissociated from other people.

Depression is a feeling of sadness, loss of interest in life, and thoughts or attempts of suicide.

What life experiences make a sociopath?

There is a variety of circumstances that can contribute to sociopathy. Some people can experience trauma and still thrive socially. Others may be deeply affected by such experiences and become depressed, angry, addicted or suicidal adults. There are many cases where sociopaths have experienced no significant trauma at all. Sociopathy is often a personality trait that may or may not be related to life experiences. If a person has a predisposition for sociopathy, any type of trauma is enough to trigger maladaptive and antisocial behavior. Many times, childhood abuse (even emotional abuse) is associated with personality disorders and sociopathy.
