Dr Nisha Khanna is a leading top Psychologist in Delhi, NCR and India who deals with Clients having Antisocial Personality Disorder. Someone violating, breaking the laws or disregarding other people occasionally once in a while sounds fine, but what if this behaviour is seen very often in a particular person? So this is what AntiSocial Personality Disorder looks like and is a mental health condition where the people diagnosed with it show a lack of respect, do not follow the socially recognized rules and norms and eventually may also cause physical and emotional harm to people around them. It can be inferred best under the broad category of personality disorders.

Talking about the symptoms and the symptoms can vary in severity. The more extreme symptoms are more egregious, harmful or dangerous behaviour patterns are referred to as sociopathic or psychopathic. The other side to this is a lighter set of symptoms. The person diagnosed with this can be charming initially but most likely irritable, aggressive, cold and irresponsible.

Talking the more basic set of symptoms usually includes lack of stability in professional and personal life, violation of physical and emotional rights of others without hesitation, recklessness and major impulsive enactments, and consistent irresponsibility. Antisocial Personality can be identified after a psychological evaluation by a mental health professional at the earliest as chances are higher of other disorders being present.

The symptoms of Antisocial Personality Disorder can develop in the later part of childhood or probably the early teen years and are usually known as Conduct Disorder. Children diagnosed with it may lie, steal or bully other kids. If the child gets an early diagnosis, the condition may not continue till adulthood. If there is too much ignorance of symptoms, it may develop into a proper disorder at 18 years plus, named Anti Social Personality Disorder.

The causes of Antisocial Personality Disorder are not very particular as such, although people can be at risk if they have unusual serotonin levels. Any history of trauma or child abuse also increases the probability of the patients being diagnosed with it, as most of them have a drug or alcohol abuse history.

There is no particular set of treatments for ASPD alone besides therapies like Medications, Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy may help to control repetitive patterns of behaviour. Antisocial Personality Disorder is one of the disorders which is hard to treat as the person down with it never accepts that he is down with it and refuses to get the treatment. So it is strenuous to treat the person to diagnose and bring them to therapy. There is no specific test or stuff to assess this disorder. Recently, precise characteristics were looked for in the person to moot underdiagnosis.
