- This video describes Antisocial Personality Disorder. Antisocial Personality Disorder is characterized by repeated acts that violate the norms of society, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability, verbal and physical aggression, reckless disregard for the safety of others, irresponsibility, lack of remorse, and lack of empathy. The characteristics typically associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder in prison settings are superficial charm, lack of empathy, inflated self-appraisal. The etiology of Antisocial Personality Disorder is genetic and environmental. Trauma appears to contributed to the development of Antisocial Personality Disorder. The prevalence of Antisocial Personality Disorder is about 3% of males and 1% of females. About 70% - 80% of males in prison may have Antisocial Personality Disorder. Sociopathy and psychopathy are sets of characteristics that represent distinct patterns of behavior and etiology, but are still under the Antisocial Personality Disorder classification. Generally, a person suffering from sociopathy is thought to have developed the disorder as a result of a stressor, such as trauma. Genetics are thought to be responsible for psychopathy. Both are associated with criminal activity, however, sociopathy is associated with impulsive criminal acts whereas psychopathy is associated with planned crimes. Meaningful relationships are difficult to form with psychopathy, but slightly easier to form with sociopathy. Sociopathy is associated with mood dysphoria and dysregulation, whereas psychopathy is associated with remaining more emotionally stable. Psychopathy is associated with being cold and calculating, and considering the consequences of behavior more carefully than in sociopathy.
I dislike how people throw around the term antisocial these days. If you don’t go to a party people say you’re so antisocial.
The more apt word would be asocial I guess.
Fr im a sociopath but I have good intentions and a lot of the time I joke and call myself psycho and people will all think I’m acting unemotional I just don’t understand why the average person is like a self absorbed puddle makes me want to treat them bad
@@jaredwilliams6853 no your not. Your obsessed with the idea.
Jared Williams Go read a case study on-line just google one. You’re not antisocial and you shouldn’t embarrass/endanger yourself by saying you are.
Definitive Entertainment you fucking shit! Shut the fuck up rn. I’m going to therapy rn and my therapist is legit a moron. I told him a depressed and this dumbass believed me lmfaooo. Can’t stand people like him. He can’t even look at me in the eyes. Dumb shit, I can’t stand him. At this point it’s a game to me.
When kids have traumatic childhoods, why are some of us fine but others can’t escape their reactions?
These videos when done correctly, with the right information makes me feel less confused about myself. Thank you for not saying everyone with ASPD is the same and that it is a spectrum.
{} no actually just a human diagnosed in a mental facility like any normal person who has disorders. Never used tumblr, actually find the people on it quite annoying. Thanks for your input.
{} imagine being so shallow to think that I am indeed pretending because of my comment, though, as I do indeed suffer though it every day in my personal life and my relationships:)
Just described my soon to be ex-husband to a tee. I’d been reading and watching a lot on narcissism thinking he’s a narcissist because he checks every box for that too. But hearing this brought back a lot of memories of things he’s done over the years that sound terribly accurate for antisocial personality disorder. I actually made a comment to him once about how he was treating me because he was saying with a smirk on his face how he was purposely doing things to see how I would react and I said “that’s antisocial behavior”. He thought I was talking about actually being social and told me later that I mentioned he needs to be more social smh.
Thanks You really helped me with my understanding of the difference between "Sociopath" And "Psychopath".
Thank you, Dr. Grande, for your great videos. You have a knack for concise and clear presentation. Very informative, and thought-provoking.
You''re welcome - Thank you so much for your kind words
If discrimination wouldn't exist there would be no antisocial behaviors... People are like kids they discriminate, eccept they discriminate in more subtle hypocrite ways. People with antisocial behavior are just more sensitive, sincere and react more because they don't have enough experience to defend themselves the appropriate way. It's not really a disorder, more its a sign of intelligence and evolution to be sensitive. In my opinion we all need to go down and live in our inner darkness to go to the light and really perfect ourselves as human beings.
This content could be used for manipulation of such professionals but also a way to educate those that lack such education. What's the siverlining here if I may ask?
I’m thinking about being a psychiatrist as an adult. I love watching videos and learn more about these disorders. I feel that if you educate yourself on things like this, then you can understand where people come from on things they say and do. And it can possibly even break more barriers to help people.
Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss this subject! I don't know many people like this, thankfully, but it is good to understand their actions!
My brother was briefly diagnosed with this, then they decided to take back the diagnosis because he admitted to being on drugs and they didn't want to diagnose him until he was clean.
I recall that my ex was diagnosed with this. I have been researching narcissism and that's what I thought she was but everything fits. I didn't know what ASPD really was until now. Oh my word. This all makes so much sense now.
Hello Dr. Grande, Thank you for putting these very informative and on point videos. I have quoted you in one of my classes/research papers. The paper is about ASPD obviously but I also go into detail of certain infamous folks (Charles Sobhraj, Tsutomu Miyazaki, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer). Thank you, you are an unsung hero.
I loved this and it's very helpful as a person who is worried about her mental health... Also great that you have the star behind you! 🌙⭐
Thank you!
Hello
Liar.
Thank you again for the these helpful and clarifying videos . Too many factors at work to make prediction easy unless someone grows up with an antisocial person in the same household .
When I received my degree in psychology, my professors told me that ASPD, psychopathy, and sociopathy were all different terms for the same disorder. We called them psychopaths in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, Sociopaths in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, and ASPD came into use in the ‘90’s. Since ASPD traits are on a spectrum, people can have different combinations of traits which may make them seem different, but it all boils down to the same group of behaviors.
youre literally the only person that made me understand this thank you😭
Dr. Grande, I was hoping you could do a video on something I have not been able to find ANYTHING about online. My son was diagnosed with a subset of Asperger's that mimics Antisocial Personality Disorder. He appears socially adept (which is why he didn't get diagnosed until he was 17) and he has streaks of rebelliousness and manipulation as well as serious problems with impulse control. CBT has helped him get a grip on his anger but I'm trying to better understand how this is separate from standard ASD. He's going to college now and he's trying to stay on a good path but it's hard for him and he has a hard time connecting to therapists. He's doing better now than I ever imagined but he and I both recognize that he needs help to avoid a life bouncing between jail and home. While we had to put him in state placement when he was 17 for his own protection and ours due to his out of control anger, he has gotten that under control and is dedicated to living a good life. He's never been in jail and we want it to stay that way. Can you do a video to help us better understand what's going on here, the difference between this and regular ASD, and therapies that could help? It might even be nice to do a series on different types of aspergers/autism and what other 'subsets' there might be. I watched an HBO special the other day called A Dangerous Son and it really rang true for me. At 19 now my son is at least better in control than those kids but it looks like a lot of people are dealing with this and can't get help. They don't know where to turn. I can't find anything in the literature at all and I work for a mental health clinic! We're stumped.
What causes antisocial persons disorder? Everything mentioned stems back to: parental (especially maternal) neglect.
My opinion and Harlow study.
Just wanted to say thank you, your videos have been extremely helpful for me getting ready for an important exam. Thank you Dr Grande 😊
You are quite welcome!
I love your videos! I’m a junior in college for human services and these videos always help me so much!
This was so helpful. Thank you very much!!!
It was very accurate, no exaggerating and could cut across as true through all cultures and set ups
thank you so much. right now i am being treated for somethings related to my trama like my depression but you have given me alot to consider.
You explained this so well ,thank you .
You're welcome -
Now I'm confused if he's a Narcissist or an Antisocial 😅
So what people should say is: "I am an introvert who doesn't like people". Because I have no drive to hurt people, but I hate interaction entirely. If I could live as a hermit by myself I would be in heaven.
I've reached a certain trauma that had a large peak when I was 15, till this day split images remain in my mind. Nobody was there for me when I was going through this, I believe that is the reason I drifted away from constantly relying on people and getting used to properly guiding myself in other's company. Don't get me wrong I have friends, but they feel like distractions more than actual companions. I believe everyone talks behind my back, also believing nobody will appreciate me for who I am.
Social anxiety is not the same thing as this disorder. You're not anti-social for not being able to socialize without being nervous. Important to make the distinction between calling people anti-social for having anxiety/fears(which is not really even what being anti-social is) and being called anti-social cause you behave in a manner that goes against all the social 'rules'. Such as empathy which is an important one and deciding to treat others in an appropriate manner.
Thank you for helping me understand
Not everybody with anti-social personality disorder are criminals or been in jail. It is ignorant to assume and generalise this notion as it is misleading. I have had this disorder for over 11 years and never harmed anybody only myself...however I have been close a few times out of these 11 years.
Most of everything else you discuss is pretty accurate
Anth egg That's the point of a generalization...a good amount of people exhibit such behaviour. It doesn't mean everyone.
I'm pretty sure he never said all folks with ASPD are criminals or in jail. Seemed like a pretty fair and balanced discussion of the condition to me. And good for you for exercising restraint, you're better off in the long run this way.
You might also have paranoid personality disorder...
Ha I feel you but honestly no one cares their faking conditional empathy your allowed to use them dry as long as it isn’t harming yourself or others physically. Civilized sociopath here and it’s very easy to just use them to fill your pockets and experience life. That’s what’s given to us bc we weren’t protected in facade land.
I love this channel. Thx for posting Doc.
You’re welcome!
I had this disorder since I was a baby...what a tragedy...I wish I could of made it to middle school and high school...im pretty smart but I could of been so much smarter if I had never wasted my life going Juvenile Hall so young....I pretty much spent my whole teenage hood in jail...I never went to prom...I never really got to be a child...
I hate that they base a lot of it on crime to compare that to anti social behaviour. A lot of people grow up in crime and in poverty. Sometimes those behaviours in a teenagers world feels pro social as it doesn’t get the same negative response from the community as the academics might think. What do I know tho
I was abused horribly as a child and did not develop ASPD. But I did become a masochist.
I think the is a perfect fair description
you should consider doing an updated version of this subject.
Your the best!💝
I don't suffer from this disorder but I did have a very rough childhood full of physical and emotional abuse bullying abandonment mentally ill parent both of the and alcoholic stepfather and other hallmarks like that but I have cptsd and often times when I'm very stressed my mind switches and becomes altered and I have another alter named Jason who does have a pretty statistic thoughts and does lack empathy I don't know how much you know about alters or did or anything like that or if you even really believe in that but my dr thinks that that's one of the things that I use to cope with trauma or stress
So how the hell do you treat it? Tackle the substance abuse first, then CBT? Mood stabilises or anti psychotics? Everyone is really good at defining the issue, but not many people offer up a clear, concise way way of dealing with it....
marcus so very true
Uuuuuuhhhmmm therapy?
I am have an extreme yet prototypical case of ASPD. There is a cluster of behaviors that I found has worked more than any long or short term therapy. I began an intensive and life consuming study of philosophy, ethics, logic, math, reason and stoicism.... it did wonders. I disconnected myself from every possible human interaction for over a year and embraced an oppressive study habit that included deep daily introspection and moral thought experiments. It took heroic efforts to truly place myself in others shoes and see as they see, to think as others think. But the more I honestly embodied this process, the more success I achieved. The mechanism of action as far as I can tell occurs In the construction of these internal avatars for the missing emotional structures in ppl w ASPD. effectively guiding me to better behavior. And it isnt just a superficial solution or an act. Granted I still don't feel emotions like others do. It's grounded in a different experience.. Where others intuitively experience emotional complexity, I experience a more stoic response. BUT the depth and complexity of that stoic response is a sufficient substitute guide and moral compass. I have an inner richness that I never had b4. It involves ppl and relationships that I aim to strengthen through my words and actions that has become incredibly satisfying. The fact that this is even an aim worthy of my interest and preoccupation is a reward in and of itself. I still have ASPD, but it's far from obvious. Has anyone else had a similar experience, or know of one? Or any other remedies or techniques worth mentioning? First time Ive spoke about this online. All I can say is that it's worked for me. It took unbelievable dedication but it paid off.
Danny Mcclenon , thank you for posting this. Someone close to me has this and it is easy to lose hope that things can get better. You have helped to restore some hope.
Thank you for sharing your professional expertise. I just watch your wonderful definition and the type of people that come to mind besides murderers, are politicians. They fit the criteria for antisocial behavior. 😂
So I'm normal, no Antisocial Personality Disorder...Thank you forthe explanations.
I went to a sleep therapist for my insomnia (very bad at times), and started saying I could have a Personality Disorder like this or SPD/STPD and that I should get a referral from my dr to see the right person as it wasnt her specialty but I still havent and not sure what I should do still about being told this
Y'all don't know what causes it?!!! I'm going to go out on a limb here and say having weird/abusive parents and/or being fucked over by authority/society as a child might just be the cause in a LOT of cases...
What led me to get diagnosed with aspd is a lot of research, lots of therapy, and repeated examples of pirating things despite getting in trouble with the law for it.
Edir: About the substance use/abuse/ substance use disorders, for around ~2 months or so, I was abusing benadryl to knock myself out. I've been clean for a bit over a year now, but I have times where I end up having to remind myself why I stopped taking it how I was.
I worked with several animals who were like this.They don’t care about your boundaries ,they lie all the time they are aggressive violent and seek out trouble.
Im 15, have a distinct lack of remorse or any sort of empathy, i have a keen ability for manipulation and have been told im charming, sometimes i dont understand emotions of others. I have been known to get violent towards people i have been abused by, and committing crimes really dont bother me, do you have any advice for me, should i go see a psychiatrist to get a diagnostic or am i too young?
im glad to see the point facing up on your pentagram
Hi Dr Grande, just found your channel today and its very interesting and informative. I was wondering, does APD have a spectrum? Like autism with being non verbal or verbal (just an example for a spectrum kinda thing) If someone had some traits of APD how would you distinguish those traits being directly related to APD or just that individual having a lack of understanding of certain behaviours. I hope my question makes some sort of sense!
Because the things you say are symptoms of APD my husband has basically everyone one of them in some sort of way.. and he started these sort of behaviours from around 14. i know obviously you cant diagnose someone without knowing them and just reading off a list. but thats what my comment was about, he seems to have these certain traits of APD but hard to know if its that or for other reasons
I'm very grateful for this definition as " a friend once refered to one of my other friends about me with this Anti Social disorder) and I like the way you mention that it's being thrown around wildly... certainly does not apply to me... I'm just reclusive and very physical with a high degree of fitness for my age. Aloha
I know someone diagnosed 3x by 3 different doctors in 3 different hospitals with this disorder before he was 13... Even though it couldn't be labeled that (supposedly) before 18. This happened back before 2010
Could Sociopathy and Psychopathy, secondary and primary, be considered as the ASPD equivalent of grandiose vs. vulnerable narcissism in NPD?
What percentage of people would you estimate have this or similar disorders that work in politics/government, CEOs, doctors, lawyers or other power and control positions? I would bet the percentage would compare to the violent offender prison population figures.
Hi Dr Grande, I recently had a mental health assesment, and after a week or two I received a letter about the assesment i had . I was refered to spghychtherapy for one year. But in the assesment letter she said I had traits of a dissocial personality. So I guess my question is am I likely to be diagnosed as antisocial personality disorder. Thank you. Ben.
If it cannot be given as a diagnosis until 18, what if a child who has had these signs and symptoms diagnosed with if this has been their behavior since age 3?
My ex-husband (and no I am not picking on him nor do I personally care it's more the concern and safety of our children) has many symptoms of ASPD. I left our marriage with our 2 children due to DV, infidelity, lying, substance abuse, the psychological abuse, and constant isolation I had to liuve in daily. I knew the toxic environment was not good for our children. I had no idea until recently what I was actually involved with until recently. Shortly after our divorce he ended up in prison for 14mos for 3DUIs. I allowed our children's to visit him (not that I agree with children going to prison and making it seem as visiting family in a hospital) along with h8s family in which I was dictated when they were to pick them up forvweekends or holidays. My son who started exhibiting behavior issues prior to divorce which continued afterwards in which I took him to 4 psychologists prior to medicating him to verify the diagnosis. They all had the same diagnosis ADHD, ODD, (Bipolar and psychopathy he was too young for the official diagnosis). My ex was alienated from his father at a very young age by his mother and the relationship has been estranged to this day he is 45yo. Since he has been out of prison I have been the subject of his constant attacks using the court system to destroy me, he has kidnapped our children 4xs since then the past time was 2yrs ago in which both children have been manipulated in believing the false narrative of his blsmeshifting onto me. We have been divorced for 15yrs now. He knows our children are the only way to truly destroy me and has told me over and over again that he would make sure our children learn to hate me and will make sure our grandchildren hate me more. It has been 2yrs since I or my whole family has seen or spoken to them. The court continually rules in his favor I have no criminal record, abuse, nor have I not complied with the custody order as my children have told me if I don't do something I will be in contempt. Supposedly when he was in prison he was diagnosed with bipolar 1, obviously I don't think he was diagnosed properly. He is on SSD for bipolar in which he told the court he has been cured of and he is a stay at home dad as the govt continued his disability and told him it's getter for him to be at home with his kids. He has mental illness on the maternal side of his family, his mother not quite sure but has alienated every child that is in her care from the other parent, his grandmother had DID, and her 3 brothers had schizophrenia and committed suicide. He also has a very strange relationship with his mother always needing to live next to her off with her they have moved over 65xs together not for jobs, military service, or any typical reason why people move, the was a bully in school and still is to this day he likes tonpickmfights with people that either stare at him or he thinks they are looking at him. I am gravely concerned for my children I have tried making a report of child abuse but they refused to investigate stating I was not authorized to make such a report. He won't allow the children to attend counseling, supervised visits, or any kind of contact with me or my family. I suffer from C-PTSD from the amount of trauma that I have endured, and with all of the continued litigation it cost me everything the sacred and precious bond with my children, financial stability, my job, my career, and my health. I don't know what to do I am worried about the trauma my children are enduring daily and the effects it's going to have on them as they continue to mature. Especially since they are living in a compound with their father, grandmother, step grandfather, his current wife and 2 other younger children (10 &2). If there is anything you can suggest in possibly rescuing them so I can get them into therapy so they may have a chance at a successful life as adults and healthy relationships in their futures I would greatly appreciate anything at this point. I am at a loss and honestly I go through the cycle of traumatic grief daily signatory and cobcefhbwith the wellbeing and safety of my children. I just want to hug them and never let go at this point to hear their voices again, their laughs, and I would enjoy hearing their sibling quarrels as it would fill my heart with the love that is missing that was drained when they left and is with them. To remind them that I will always love them unconditionally and I always will be there mom.
I'm sorry but parts of this story don't wash. Your ex could not tell a court he's cured or bi polar disorder. There is no cure and any social worker, lawyer or judge would know this. With his background story of substance abuse and a jail term it's highly unlikely he would be given custody. He can't dictate visitation or the lack thereof anymore than you could if the shoe was on the other foot unless said parent is not paying any child support or is known to be abusive or neglectful to the kids. Granted, he has manipulated them but how he got custody to begin with is what makes no sense to me at all. It simply doesn't "wash".
Oh I do believe this describes my 22-year-old son to a T. Previously diagnosed as a child with ADHD, ODD, Conduct Disorder. What does a parent do with the adult 'child'? Hope for the best? He is currently in jail for the 2nd time. Several people have tried to lead him in the right direction with no luck as is the nature of the beast so to speak.
Wow my husband said exactly those words to me, " you brought it on yourself." I still cannot believe he was so mean and withdrawn.
ozzy oz' my ex put a rape charge on me. The truth is she was hitting me and tearing up everything I own. I called the cops and she said I was the aggressor. I was arrested. It got dropped but she said “ you tried to have me arrested “ it’s your fault
My mom , grew up with nothing . Now she is 66 and lives with me , after living with my brother for a few years and making his life a living hell . All she cares about is partying it up all the time , and being out with friends . She was a great mom and always there for us , but why act like this now ?
"You brought this on yourself," He said!!
7:03 is sociopathy essentially another name for factor (type) 2 psychopathy?
Soooo One therapist diagnosed me with this. But I don't quite agree with this. I might have a couple symptoms but I don't want to actually hurt anyone. I don't steal. I can love but its a bit hard for me to express it how I want to. (Mine is more quiet, subtle.) I'm usually pretty honest too, unless its about my feelings. Hopefully, my next one will give me a more accurate diagnosis
Todd, Could you tell us if psycopophy and sociopathy have been studied in collectivist cultures?I do know that there are more collectivist cultures than capitalist cultures right now. If so, what are the rates of such dysfunction in collectivist cultures, please? Do you believe that living in our unequal/capitalistic system is playing a part in Anti-Social P.D. or maybe sociopaths and psychopaths?
I been diagnosed with this but my dr. Doesnt explain it well I ain't seen him in years as I'm no lo ger on parole
I was diagnosed with this 20 years ago.
I am not at all in medical field. I guess telling that aspd one is arrested may be wrong because one may not get caught.
A lot of that sounds like me but I don't have a mental disorder
Typically children of dysfunctional families with one parent being a child of an alcoholic or drug-parent.
Parents and siblings have unchecked emotionally abusive actions towards other family members.
But this discussion brings about the fact for the longest time the mental health community considered this to be
'high functioning' until they began to consider the long term impacts of emotional abuse. The self-loathing &
outward aggressiveness that has resulted and has been documented is very degrading to the long term of
others around them. (Emotional abuse & CPTSD)
Psychopathy as biologically based, especially as inherited seems unlikely. What is psychopathy specifically? I believe you say a charming, premeditating, empathy impaired criminal is a born psychopath. Emotional and or physical early childhood trauma seems more probable because these have great impact on personality development. Can you be more specific on what biological factors seem present among those considered psychopaths? Do they share more or less of some chemical?
Does conduct disorder always lead to antisocial personality disorder? Can one grow out of it and learn empathy? Or is that just a high functioning sociopath/psychopath?
Mark Meadows ah ha, yes... i am here to study empathy today. maybe someday i will be human!!
bruh, "learning empathy" is still very antisocial. you and i can act empathetic, but i doubt that acting means feeling.
I will say this.I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I FIND ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS VERY INFORMATIVE,... AND I USED TO BE SUBSCRIBED TO THAT LADY KATI MORGON CHANNEL BUT SHE IN MY POINT OF VIEW EXPLAINED THINGS ALOT OF THINGS IN THE WRONG MANNER.. MAKING PEOPLE LIKE WHO HAVE BEEN DIASOSED WITH THIS AND OTHER THINGS AS WELL THAT WE WERE ALL LIKE TED BUNDY..
Can you revisit this now after the Darrell Brooks sentence?
So.........................if you are diagnosed APD are you a sociopath or just sociopathic? Since psychopathy is identified by a pattern of behaviours existing since before the age of 15, sociopathy, like APD, is also identified by a patten existing since after the age of 15. Are they different, or is APD the clinical diagnosis for a sociopath? If not, then how does it differ from sociopathy? And, how similar might APD be to NPD or, can an individual have both? I know personality disorders can co-exist along side other, but I find these specifically to both resemble each other as well as the sociopath. If APD is just the clinical term for a sociopath then is sociopathy considered a personality disorder? And is that another way to differentiate between the born psychopath, since they are different (but overlapping) things. And, since psychopaths and sociopaths (even if not as cold as the born psychopath) do not register signs of arousal in emotion, including stress, fear or anger, are individuals with APD the same or, likely to be violent and explosive? (like the narcissist) And lastly, how much criteria does an individual have to meet to atleast even be considering APD?
I believe this video should answer most of your questions: czcams.com/video/IQSzH10SjqY/video.html
I have these feelings
I’m in a LDR and every time she doesn’t text me back or leaves me read on makes me feel like she’s talking to another guy which makes me angry
I love her but at the same time I want to date a co worker here
When I listen to tears don’t fall and all these things I hate by bullet for my valentine, I feel like 1) Wishing I had superhuman strength to hurt people who hurt me and 2) become my fav comic book characters and video game characters to hurt people in front of my ex gfs my family and other people
When I want to cry I listen to sad songs and imagine 2 fictional characters and some of my favorite wrestlers fighting
And I weird, just edgy or do I need some help? Someone tell me?
That happens to me but towards co workers and classmates just want to smash their face to a wall and make them fear me
Is there even a point for someone to go to the doctor and get this diagnosis?
What really changes?
All you're really doing is telling someone you can't be trusted. And why would you do that in the first place?
Mostly becuase they can be treated and who even wants a personality like this ?
If discrimination wouldn't exist there would be no antisocial behaviors... People are like kids they discriminate, eccept they discriminate in more subtle hypocrite ways. People with antisocial behavior are just more sensitive, sincere and react more because they don't have enough experience to defend themselves the appropriate way. It's not really a disorder, more its a sign of intelligence and evolution to be sensitive. In my opinion we all need to go down and live in our inner darkness to go to the light and really perfect ourselves as human beings.
@@melindaperron7546 antisocial personality disorder is highly heritable. So it's not only about discrimination and all that environmental explanations, it's mostly due to genetics.
I think I might be a spycopath or a sociopath but those tests on the Internet say different results every time and I know that they aren't accurate and I can't get diagnosed with it yet cuz I'm under 18 so I don't know what to do
At what point do we say these things are so nebulous and the human condition so vast in it’s every ancillary component that we shouldn’t be diagnosing these disorders.
many people with ASP being arrested could just mean that most who seek professional care are made to do so by getting arrested. A rich man in management or at a CEO position casually ruining lives for the gain of their wealth or status might do it legally, it doesn't make it less antisocial
Dont look me in the eyes when u see me.
My daughter that I had to put up for adoption as a young gurl found me. She said she is diagnosed with ASPD but with empathy? Never arrested. She is a professor...idk
Dr. Grande, since you mentioned that *television does interpret people who may have Antisocial Personality Disorder as committing serious crimes involving aggression and violence,* and yet that *there are few Antisocial individuals who do commit those crimes,* is it alright to say that television is only interpreting the actions of those few individuals that do commit serious crimes and not including the majority of people with ASPD that tend to commit crimes similar to the level of fraud? Is it OK to say that they are depicting the behaviors and decisions of only that minority of people with ASPD and not defining every person that has ASPD as a whole? Could we excuse those interpretations as just depicting those few people who are that way, or does it depend on the writers who make characters that way being responsible for thoroughly understanding ASPD before making that decision? Because if the latter part of the 3rd question is true, then should we hold them accountable for depicting people with ASPD that way, even though those violent characteristics are technically true for the few people with ASPD that do commit serious crimes?
What does the brain scan look like?
I know a person that, although he is only 16, has been diagnosed with APD. As far as I know, he has had a reasonably good family life, although he has always had trouble connecting with people. This person never met his biological father, who has tendencies toward APD. He was also bullied a lot In high school. Because of his actions, this person is in court and living in a halfway house (no connection with the family)... It is hard to see what someone I still think of as an innocent child is capable of. Your description of psychopathy is on the money.
speaking as someone with apd this is defo genetic. my dad has it to a degree and his mother too. worth some research imo
My daughters father has every single one of these symptoms. Although I left him when our daughter was a year and a half old. She has not been raised around him at all. He has stayed away her entire life. She just recently turned 18 and was diagnosed as having ODD and ADHD at age 5. It seems as if the older she got the worse her behavior has got. She has all of the symptoms of APD. Today she tried cutting herself and she is currently in the psyche ward. I genuinely believe children can inherit this disorder.
This describes my ex to a tee. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder but I think he was severely misdiagnosed. People tend to be misdiagnosed because as he said APD is extremely difficult to treat and psychiatrists will lean towards diagnosing the patient with whatever disorder is most easily treatable. Bipolar disorder is easily controlled with meds so I think that's why he was misdiagnosed plus they're only going on the information that they're provided with. Doctors are not perfect and they are certainly not mind-readers. But this analysis describes my ex to a T. He abused me for seven of the nine months that I was with him. Truly a dangerous human being. He blamed me for what happened to me and he seemed to not care what he was doing to me or anybody else.
Hey, doc. I struggle all my life with different diagnosis i got from severaldoctors. Is itpossibleto have avoidant personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder at the same time? I don´t avoid always all situations which make me scary, but sometimes there are situations whereiam scared and don´t do itwhere regular people would have no problem with. Atthe same time i want to feel powerful and make other people suffer when they don´t show me the respect i dodeservein my opinion.Ioftendon´t regret actions when iget violent outbursts on others andi alsothink they deserved it, because they mistreated me. Iam not manipulative andnot focus on material things. I have no social circle,no job and was in many mental hospitals in my past.When iwould have to pick which lifei should rescue ( animal or human) iwould pick the animal. I see the whole world as dangerous and my fiend. In meis always these impulsiveness i barely can control... but idon´t harm people for no reason. Could this description be true for antisocial+ avoidant personality disorder?
ChAzer Fazer I would pick the animal too, any time.
Does superficial charm mean that it comes and goes unpredictability?
im late but yes that can happen. in most cases it does, and the person who is getting manipulated, does even know.
I need help.
Malignant bordeline is more dangerous from antisocial?
so, they just don't care about others or have no feelings for them?
But I would like to know to get help
I think I have this
Why do we have to wait untill they are 18?
Strange I have this disorder never been arrested and never set cats on fire
How people are raised by their parents and the lack of education.
I have met someone with this disorder meanest person you could ever meet. I just avoid this individual at all costs.
I was diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder years ago but I don't see myself in this description.
Exactly and a thought psychopath and sociopath were the same
What should i do if i run into a psychopath? Should i call the cops?
I’ve been trying to find out exactly what’s wrong with my son’s father because he has such extreme behaviors and nasty attitudes. He claims Asperger’s, but it’s way more than that. He is very anti social, admits that and says he hates people. He matches both Anti social personality disorder AND NPD. He says he has no empathy and is highly manipulative. I really want to sort this out. I am keeping my son away from him because of his behavior, but asperger’s Does not fit his behavior and his nastiness.
I've been diagnosed with this. I've been to prison. I do in fact fell bad and hate this. I absolutely love my girlfriend and would do anything for her. Am I a bad person.? I wish there was a way to fix this because I feel I'm a good person and so do other people. Please help thank you.
Harley Davidson you were probably misdiagnosed, ppl who have aspd don't care
no cure for it but sometimes people can grow out of it. Liars, thieves, drug users, cant hold a job, blame others, loved by all, poor, broke, dont plan, con others out of money. When someone becomes a man they do away with childish things. If this person doesent get better by the age of 30 they become a loser for life. (most of the time)
brynnisawesome nah I disagree I care because I'm losing and not in control and people aren't doing as I want them to
I believe you are a good person. Ignore the stigma because it's stupid, hypocritical, and toxic.
Harley Davidson . you were misdiagnosed... we don’t feel too much empathy... and are different types... i learn to libe with it... but im almost alone and i don’t have close friends or friendships... I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD...
Do i care???. NO. DO I DO VIOLENCE?. NO..., DO I VALUE LIFE OF PEOPLE I DONT KNOW?, NO... IM I DEAD INSIDE???.Don’t know...
Im a a functional person in “society” YES... i have to mask who i am, but function normal... don’t like sexual predators and sexual psychopaths I despise them... Do i feel attracted to violence?. YES...if it involves combat... thats was the reason #1 I joined the army, now medically retired... im i going to commit violence?, NO... unless someone enter my home...😄...
Overall... I think people like me should get monitored constantly, because there are others that can’t control their violent compulsions...and those are the real threat...
It's caused by childhood trauma or exsposed to bad roll motels in there childhood
I think ADHD has a strong correlation to ASPD
So is ASPD and psychopathy the same thing?
No, but Dr. Grande points out that many people with ASPD have a comorbidity of psychopathy, meaning those who are diagnosed as antisocial can have an additional diagnosis of psychopath.
I've been having a difficult time with an ex since 2009 who has anti social personality disorder, regardless of my pledge to be left alone he still strongly insist on contacting me, I've blocked numerous phone numbers & Facebook accounts but it doesn't seem to register with him that I have moved on (long term relationship of 7 years with two children involved) I can only put his ways down to attachment issues with being put in care as a child and feeling a huge sadness of abandonment by myself and his family I did try my best when I was with him to help him as I thought at the time he was just depressed but he switched when I ended things and had a massive meltdown and was sectionedwithin the following hours and has been under there care since then, would he always have there involvement? He keeps appealing to get out but I am concerned that he is so forward with the fact he wants to be with me that I am actually worried he will try and get to me and could result in one of us or our children getting hurt as a result as he seems so inssistant and seems to have no regards to my feelings amd what I want (my partner an kids I'm worried he will try an punish us for this when he realises and the penny drops that I am never coming back to him?
