sorry about your grandmother, that would be difficult.

Im almost certain that it is not a mental condition. It is often associated with antisocial personality disorder which IS a diagnosis. And the two are often confused as being the same but they aren't. BUT the catch is that a sociopath generally has the diagnosis of antisocial PD. And someone with antisocial does not have to be a sociopath. in other words it ends up being one. I hope that wasnt too confusing.
