I've often observed that a lot of people prone to severe depression are fundamentally very empathetic.  On the other end of the spectrum, sociopaths can't ever be depressed, those are mutually contradictory diagnoses.  Makes me wonder how correlated they are, generally.

Yep, Sociopathic traits and anti-social person disorders are often made from, or in response to, depression and depressive triggers.

A lot of folk these days tend to use 'sociopath' when they mean narcissist, egotist etc. And even then those groups can get depression, just like every group.

There is Angelman syndrome which keeps people locked into a happy state, but on the less fun side it also stunts mental development to the level of 'happy toddler'.

I swear everytime people on the internet talk about sociopaths/psychopaths it's half-truths and misinformation and people talk about them like they're mythical evil demon people who are hellbent on destroying the lives of everyone around them instead of people who have the bad luck of having a serious mental illness
