Doctors feel that this could be genetic (cannot prove this yet) or, that a person was raised in an environment where the people around them (mainly parents) didn't care about them and treated them poorly. One or both parents in many cases were either alcoholic or had drug related problems or abuse was present. This leaves the victim with a feeling of low self esteem, inner rage, and a "get even" attitude. Sociopaths are not all alike and they can vary in personality. Sociopaths have a disregard for the rights of others and a willingness to violate those rights. Sociopaths are often angry and their self-interest makes many of them arrogant. Despite this, some people with antisocial behavior disorder can appear charming or flattering. This charm is not sincere, however, the psychopath simply uses charm as a tool to manipulate people to achieve his or her own ends. Many victims come from a poor environment and still lead a relatively normal lifestyle so my bet is on genetics.

People with mental illness are just as susceptible to medical illness as any other human being. Causing the death of another human being, (if you are speaking of murder) does not, obviously, cause a person to get Alzheimer's.)

What types of life experiences does one go through that could cause them to become a sociopath?
The possible causes that I have read up about are: * It is there from birth, it is a problem of the brain where the neurological pathways do not form properly, signals have to pass through a different route which means that the brain is less effective in processing information. * It is caused due to environmental factors. The amount of things they have been given as a child does not matter, I myself am a sociopath and I have been given plenty of 'love' and material items. Try looking at their social skills when they were younger, look at how they compared to other children, did they fit in well? were they bullied?
