Use the word sociopath in conversation, and you're bound to see some raised eyebrows, or worse. The word itself has become less of a mental diagnosis and more of an insult you hurl at someone. But what does it really mean to be a sociopath? Dr. Patric Gagne offers a definition from both a clinical and a personal perspective. Her new book is called "Sociopath: A Memoir," Gagne's first-hand account of how she came to terms with her own sociopathy, shedding light on an often demonized and misunderstood mental condition. This episode originally aired on April 3, 2024.
