Describe the association between antisocial personality disorder and somatic symptom disorder

Answer:


The two disorders do not typically occur in the same individual, but they often are found in different members of the same family. Since antisocial personality is far more common among men, while somatic symptom disorders have the opposite pattern, some have speculated that the two problems are flip sides of the same coin. Antisocial personality disorder may be the male expression of high negative emotion and the absence of inhibition, whereas somatic symptom disorder is the female expression of the same characteristics.
