Antisocial personality disorder is a type of
chronic mental condition in which a person's ways of thinking, perceiving situations and relating to others are dysfunctional — and destructive.
People with antisocial personality disorder typically have no regard for right and wrong and often disregard the rights, wishes and feelings of others.
Those with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others either harshly or with callous indifference. They may often violate the law, landing in frequent trouble, yet they show no guilt or remorse. They may
lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and
alcohol use. These characteristics typically make
people with antisocial personality disorder unable to fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school.
