Some yes. Others life slowly breaks. My mother suffered from depression triggered by the death of a family friend, my father was born with bi-polar. It varies person to person.
For the most part psychopathy comes from a gene, and usually that gene will stay dormant until it is triggered by a traumatic event, then triggering what psychologists know as psychopathy giving them a lack of empathy. Though that doesn't necessarily mean that person is evil, some psychopaths are perfectly good people. But genetically speaking that numbness from empathy does originally come from a gene. Some people won't originally have that gene but I believe most do.
It's kinda like schizophrenia, typically coming from people born with that gene, but can be triggered through things such as excessive drug use.
Under a biological, neurological, scientific psychological definition, yes. I would explain it, but Hetalianstella said it for me.
On the flip side, there is also the no where the definition is taken on the idea of their personality and the way they act rather than if the gene is there or not. It that case, no. They are not born that way being the personality switch, the empathy and all, that is due to a trigger. They are originally born normal with a high possibility, but are triggered by an event and outdoor influences. There for one the definition of how they act, they were not born like that.
So for me it depends on if you are talking about the presence of the gene that allowed them to be a psychopath (for the majority of psychopaths that is) or if you are referencing how they act and traits that define them.
I say yes because as the psychology loving person I am, I tend to classify terms involving psychology with the more literal hard to the definition definition.

I'm no expert in this sort of stuff. :P
