Most pathologies are the result of innate undefined variables ( possibly neurochemical) and can't be directly attributed to "learned" behavior in the classic sense, but environmental factors likely do contribute to their onset, and possibly to the ways in which the pathologies manifest themselves.

And they do have emotion, but not empathy: The ability to connect with the emotions of others.
