Maybe. But maybe it's like AI and nuclear weapons. If you don't get them, someone else will. And the worse thing than having a sociopath in charge is facing off against a tribe who has a sociopath and you don't.
I got to thinking about this when I read something about autists. It said they are useful in war situations because they think outside the box. Or your example of mania or hypomania. For example, there's a book (can't recall its name) saying how useful hypomania is to business success.
Maybe these awful psych conditions are useful at a meta level to the survival of the herd. Like gut flora. They really cause problems when they overrun their useful % relative to NPCs.
