Pseudopsycopathy
Pseudopsycopathy which is also known as "Acquired sociopathy" is the emergence of uninhibited and poorly modulated behavior, poor judgment and violation of social norms following orbito-frontal damage. Unlike the true Psychopath or Sociopath, the patient with orbito-frontal damage experiences remorse for inappropriate actions and does not demonstrate the intentional viciousness or planning with regard to committing anti-social acts.
