Can PTSD cause or mimic sociopathy?

It can't cause sociopathy in adults, but it can be a trigger for children. If someone is a sociopath, they've been one since their childhood. If you have the genes for sociopathy, it either surfaces during childhood, or it remains dormant for the rest of that persons life. Adults can't develop the disorder if they don't already have it.

However, severe PTSD can mimic certain traits of both sociopathy and psychopathy. It can lead people to depression and develop anti-social traits that can mimic some traits found in sociopaths and psychopaths.

Examples can be mood swings, flashbacks, and sudden anger explosions. These are the types of things that can seem to mimic sociopathy.

When people have a mental illness they really annoy everybody around them, they don't want to be bothered so they get written off for sociopaths.

In ptsd if they were exposed to real true evil that definitely affects them.

nope, two separate psychiatric disorders completely.
