The mental health of Cho Seung Hui is something that was listed as a potential reason behind the massacre at the campus. I remember seeing a licensed psychologist shamelessly telling the blonde reporter that Cho was Schizophrenic. Yeah, OK sure. If he was Schizophrenic he wouldn't have been able to organize everything the way he did, due to the disorganizing nature of the illness. But on the other hand he couldn't have been Bipolar because manic/hypomanic people are usually excited in a certain way. That could mean happy, paranoid, etc. which does not describe Cho in the video clips he sent to NBC. (And shame on NBC for showing that!) Plus, Bipolar Disorder doesn't have a diteriorating course like Schizophrenia. To me, Cho was simply someone born naturally cold, a pure sociopath obsessed with violence who was apathetic.

I want to pose the question, what do people here think? Was Cho mentally ill or a sociopath naturally homicidal?
