What is Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)? How it affect and it's symptoms.


Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a condition where someone consistently does things that hurt others and doesn't feel guilty about it. They may have trouble keeping friendships or romantic relationships because of their behavior. People with ASPD may break rules or even laws, use drugs or alcohol, and act impulsively and aggressively.

Antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive and persistent disregard for morals, social norms, and the rights and feelings of others.

Individuals with this personality disorder will typically have limited compunction in exploiting others in harmful ways for their own gain or pleasure, and frequently manipulate and deceive other people.

While some individuals with this disorder do so through a facade of superficial charm, others do so through intimidation and violence. They may display arrogance, think lowly and negatively of others, and lack remorse for their harmful actions and have a callous attitude towards those they have harmed.

Irresponsibility is a core characteristic of this disorder. Most individuals with antisocial personality disorder have significant difficulties in maintaining stable employment as well as fulfilling their social and financial obligations, and often lead exploitative, unlawful, or parasitic lifestyles.

Those with antisocial personality disorder are often impulsive and reckless, failing to consider or disregarding the consequences of their actions. They may repeatedly disregard and jeopardize their own safety and the safety of others, which can place both themselves and other people in danger. They are often aggressive and hostile, with poorly regulated tempers, and can lash out violently with provocation or frustration.

Individuals with this disorder are also prone to substance use disorders and addiction. The non-medical use of various psychoactive substances is common in this population. These behaviors can, in some instances, lead such individuals into frequent conflict with the law, and many people with ASPD have extensive histories of antisocial behavior and criminal infractions stemming back to adolescence or childhood.
