Antisocial Personality Disorder

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a mental health condition that can affect the way you think and interact with others and lead you to:

• Manipulate or deceive people.
• Exploit or take advantage of someone else for your own benefit.
• Disregard the law or the rights of other people.
• Feel no remorse for your actions.

It’s common for people diagnosed with ASPD to show a lack of respect toward others, break the law, ignore the consequences of their actions or refuse to take responsibility. ASPD can be dangerous since you’re at a high risk of causing physical or emotional harm to yourself and those around you.

Antisocial personality disorder is one of many personality disorders. Personality disorders affect the way you think or behave.
