Antisocial Personality Disorder | Causes, Course, and Mortality

Video Description

This video answers the questions: What is the cause and the outcome of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)? How does ASPD start and how does it end? This analysis is going to look at the causes of ASPD and then at the outcomes including all-cause mortality. Antisocial Personality Disorder is a Cluster B Personality Disorder It has seven symptom criteria: 1: Repeated unlawful behaviors 2: Consistent deceitfulness 3: Impulsivity, poor planning 4: Aggressiveness, physical fights 5: Reckless disregard for safety 6: Consistent irresponsibility 7: Lack of remorse Many have argued that ASPD is technically the most socially destructive personality disorder, mostly because of its relationship to violence and crime. It’s also the costliest financially, in part because the cost to incarcerate criminal offenders, although one can certainly make the argument that NPD can be more costly because of the mismanagement of resources associated with that disorder.
