Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), also known as sociopathy, is a mental disorder characterized by a pattern of disregard for the rights of others, and a tendency to engage in behaviors that are deceitful, aggressive, or manipulative.
People with this disorder may show a lack of remorse or guilt towards their actions, and may have a history of criminal behavior, substance abuse, and impulsive or irresponsible behavior.
Our psychiatrists can help diagnose and treat antisocial personality disorder. Treatment typically involves a combination of therapy and medication.
Therapy can help individuals develop alternative coping mechanisms and improve their social skills, while medication may be used to manage co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety.
However, individuals with ASPD may be resistant to treatment and may be less likely to seek help voluntarily. It is important to note that there is no single treatment approach that works for everyone, and success depends on individual factors such as motivation for change and the severity of the disorder.
It is important to seek professional help from a trained mental health provider if you suspect you may have ASPD or know someone who does.
