Title: Sociopath: A Memoir
Author: Patric Gagne
Genre: Memoir; Nonfiction
The author suspected she was a sociopath at an early age and received confirmation in early adulthood. This is a fascinating story about what sociopathy is, not what we've been told it is through fiction and film. Patric Gagne explains that she experiences feelings differently from most people, and some feelings are harder to access. She describes her condition as a sort of emotional learning disability. Frustrated at the lack of resources for people like her, she decides to get her PhD in psychology and focus on sociopathy with the goal of better understanding herself and helping others like her. Along with her mental health journey, she reflects on her friendships, romantic relationships and work as a manager in the music business in Los Angeles.
