| − | Despite the differences mentioned above, both psychopaths and sociopath suffer from antisocial personality disorders which could be treated if rightly diagnosed. However, treatment usually requires medications and psychotherapy. Symptoms in both diseases begin to surface at around the age of 15. The initial symptoms might include cruelty towards animals and lack of remorse and lack of guilt for hurtful actions at a later stage. Antisocial personality disorder can be managed with the right medication and therapy like any other mental disorder. Psychopaths are not mentally disabled or lack the ability to contact with reality. A psychotic person suffers a break from reality and is therefore mentally disabled.
