is a sociopath a mental condition?

Posted by spriggy on September 10, 2005, at 16:53:58

My great grandmother was diagnosed as a sociopath (and clearly was one). I notice some similarities in her daughter (my grandmother- extremely manipulative, controlling, charming, etc.).
Anyway, I am almost certain our pastor at our last church is a sociopath. I don't say that lightly but I saw the exact same characteristics in him as I did in my great grandmother.
I was curious, is this a mental condition or is it simply "evil?"
Would medication help someone who is a sociopath??
