What factor causes antisocial disorder?
Thank you for your question! Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior. Individuals with an antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. Because of these characteristics, people with this disorder typically can't fulfill responsibilities related to family, work, or school. The exact cause of antisocial personality disorder isn't known, but: - Genes may make you vulnerable to developing antisocial personality disorder — and life situations may trigger its development, - Changes in the way the brain functions may have resulted during brain development, Certain factors seem to increase the risk of developing antisocial personality disorder, such as: - Diagnosis of childhood conduct disorder - Family history of antisocial personality disorder or other personality disorders or mental health disorders, - Being subjected to abuse or neglect during childhood, - Unstable, violent or chaotic family life during childhood, Men are at greater risk of having antisocial personality disorder than women. An antisocial personality disorder is difficult to treat, but for some people, treatment and close follow-up over the long term may be beneficial. Look for medical and mental health professionals with experience in treating antisocial personality disorder. Treatment depends on each person's particular situation, their willingness to participate in treatment, and the severity of symptoms. I hope you find this helpful! READ MORE
