this is where you get into the deeper stuff. the people who need help but won't accept or acknowledge their need.
Good point but I'm not sure a (pure) sociopath's murderous acts involve involuntary responses, unwanted involuntary responses, or any responses.
So no, they wouldn't seek help. It's mostly a political issue.
I'm not sure that exactly relates to my question but pondering the incomprehensible world of a sociopath is always interesting.
