Patric Gagne is the author of "Sociopath: A Memoir."

From a young age, she knew there was something different about herself. She didn't feel emotions the same way other kids did. To avoid stigma and to fit in, she learned to hide her true self. She tells Business Insider about breaking into homes and stealing cars to relieve the pressure of hiding. Gagne discusses the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths, traits of famous characters like Netflix's Wednesday Addams and Dexter, and how to talk to loved ones about sociopathy.

She's a former therapist and holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from The Chicago School.
Today, she's married with two children, but she's still trying to fight the stigma neurotypical people still associate with her.

Jared Dillian, a former Wall Street trader, rates 12 banking and trading scenes in movies and TV, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," for realism.

Dillian examines the depiction of real-life economic events, such as the stock market crash of 1987 — known as Black Monday — in "The Wolf of Wall Street," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie; the portrayal of the 2007–2008 financial crisis in "The Big Short," with Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, and Brad Pitt; and in "Margin Call," with Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Stanley Tucci, and Demi Moore; as well as the depiction of more recent events, such as the GameStop short squeeze in 2021 in "Dumb Money," featuring Seth Rogan, Paul Dano, and Shailene Woodley. He explains different trading methods and practices, such as the use of cryptocurrency in a hedge fund in "Billions" S3E2 + S3E3 + S5E4 (2018 and 2020), the concept of high-frequency trading in "The Hummingbird Project," with Alexander Skarsgård, Jesse Eisenberg, and Salma Hayek; the use of insider trading in "Wall Street," with Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen; and the depiction of open outcry on a trading floor in New York City in "Trading Places," with Eddie Murphy and Jamie Lee Curtis. He also looks at workplace culture, such as the portrayal of traders in an investment bank in "Industry" S1E4 + S2E2 (2020+2022), the negotiation scene in "Succession" S1E3 (2018), the day-trading scene in "Limitless," with Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro; and the dynamics between traders and management in "25th Hour," with Barry Pepper and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Dillian worked for nearly a decade on Wall Street, where he became a trader for Lehman Brothers from 2001-2008 — initially as an index arbitrage trader and then as head of the exchange-traded fund (ETF) trading desk. After Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy at the climax of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, Dillian left Wall Street and started his financial newsletter, The Daily Dirtnap, and his own financial publishing company called Jared Dillian Money. He is also a commodity trading adviser and author of multiple books, including "Street Freak: Money and Madness at Lehman Brothers."
