One of my good friends falls into the psychopath bucket. We say sociopath, but I've seen him set off. Oooh, fireworks.
Was he ever formally diagnosed with psychopathy, sociopathy, antisocial personality disorder, or dissocial personality disorder?

Lovely guy, as long as your goals coincide with his. He also deals with ADHD and bipolar disorder.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, combined type, is a common comorbidity among psychopaths as is bipolar disorder. Manic and hypomanic episodess can resemble many of the behaviors seen as a stable personality style in psychopaths.

It's hard to keep up with him at the best of times.
If he wants something, there is nothing that will stop him. Exceedingly attractive, charming to a fault when he has to be, but inside is a nasty monster waiting to come out. He was raised in a conservative, privileged family and has a lot of moral rules that come from that - not hitting girls, formal manners, pride in appearance and putting on a good face.
He's mad. He's so mad, and I think it's great. Insanity is sexy with this lad.
I have no doubt in my mind that he'd never hurt me intentionally, but I've seen him do it to people who mean less to him. Everything in his mind seems cold and rational, which I find soothing. No crazy social rubbish, it's all clear-cut unless he's playing a game with me, in which case I smile and go along with the silly, which is always obviously a game. Never a dull moment

How do you know he'll never betray if he's completely "rational" and calculating? What happens when his goals require betraying you? I suppose then his "insanity" will be a lot less sexy.
