Describe antisocial personality disorder
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?Antisocial personality disorder is a personality disorder marked by a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others with no remorse or guilt for one’s actions. People who have antisocial personalities lack impulse control and often act hastily and recklessly with little concern for the consequences of their behavior. They are irresponsible, blame others for their problems, and frequently have difficulty maintaining social relationships. They repeatedly lie and may manipulate others into doing what they want. Such antisocial or harmful behavior has often been present since childhood or adolescence (Loney et al., 2007). It is one of the more common personality disorders, and men are 5 times more likely than women to be diagnosed with this disorder (Grant et al., 2004; Lenzenweger, 2008).
