Are there any famous psychopaths or sociopaths who aren't serial killers?

Probably, but just to point out that being a psychopath doesn't mean you have the urge to kill, it just means you don't have the same range of emotions (if any) as "regular" people, which i guess makes it easier to kill. I like to think that most politicians are psychopaths


How many sociopaths become serial killers?

Contrary to what many people believe, most serial killers are not 'insane'. This of course does not mean they are normal, they aren't. Serial killers, with few exceptions, are not suffering from this kind of mental illness. They are usually clear headed and calculating. They try to keep mistakes to a minimum because if they don't they are bound to be caught. Someone with a psychosis has enough to deal with just getting through the day. They seldom have the capacity to consistantly scheme and plot serial murder. There are always exceptions to every rule but the majority are calm and and paying strict attention to details.

Yes. A psychopath is not necessarily a criminal. They lack empathy though. A psychopath does have the ability to control their behavior, unlike a person with something such as antisocial personality disorder.

What do psychopaths or sociopaths generally suffer from?

As a result of its use by the media, the word psychopathhas become a near synonym for serial killer. The term generally used now is sociopath. Sociopaths have great difficulty learning from life, from experience; and this hampers their emotional development: they are desperately immature and very selfish. They have no respect for others. They lack a conscience; many are sadistic and, above all, they crave victims.
