I don't recall any specific term for it but, you're talking about a person who's 'raw' part of the human personality, which is the 'id' taking over him.
This 'id' is based on the 'pleasure principle' wherein it wants whatever feels good at the time, with no consideration for the reality of the situation.
It is a 'raw' instinct, kinda like what other animals have; the need to eat when hungry, fulfill sexual needs, etc. should be satisfied RIGHT AWAY without care about reality and about the needs of anyone else.

It's not a *condition* it's a choice concerning negative action. Why dramatize it or frost it up?
Who else is guilty of the same? How about those who choose to feed into all of the above by making excuses for the negative behavior committed by another? They are also doing the same and it's hardly compassionate.

Put simply, it is a sociopath.
Someone without real conscience but astute enough to stay within the confines of the law.
