What characters have antisocial personality disorder

[measqu]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for help and advice from other users on characters that have been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. I'm a psychology student writing an essay on the topic, and I'm having trouble finding concrete examples of characters in literature or film who have been diagnosed with the disorder. Does anyone have any insight or experiences in this area that they'd be willing to share?

I'd really appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer.
