Is Trevor a psychopath or a sociopath?

Trevor Philips from GTA V blurs the lines, but many fans and analysts lean towards him being a sociopath (or secondary psychopath) due to his impulsive, emotional outbursts, capacity for loyalty/love (especially for Michael/Franklin), and traumatic past, rather than a cold, calculating primary psychopath, though he definitely exhibits extreme antisocial behaviors and fits within the broader psychopathic spectrum. He's a chaotic, emotional force, acting on rage and impulse, which aligns more with sociopathy, but his deep-seated issues and capacity for cruelty make him complex.

Is Trevor from GTA a sociopath?

Yes, Trevor Philips from Grand Theft Auto V exhibits strong traits of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), often labeled as sociopathy or psychopathy, characterized by a lack of empathy, impulsivity, manipulation, and violence, though some argue his capacity for loyalty and moments of tenderness complicate a simple label, pointing more towards a "secondary psychopath" shaped by trauma.
