Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a mental health disorder characterized by a long-term pattern of behavior that disregards the rights of others and disregards social norms. People with ASPD may have difficulty feeling empathy for others and may act impulsively or behave recklessly. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the symptoms of ASPD generally become worse with age.
Impulsivity is a common symptom of ASPD, which is characterized by acting without thinking and can lead to risky or dangerous behavior. As people with ASPD get older, they may find it harder to control their impulses, leading to more dangerous behavior.
Aggression is another symptom of ASPD and can manifest in physical, verbal, or emotional abuse. As people with ASPD get older, they may become more aggressive, leading to more violent behavior.
Risk-taking behavior is another symptom of ASPD, which can lead to dangerous activities such as driving recklessly or engaging in substance abuse. As people with ASPD get older, they may become more willing to take risks, leading to more dangerous behavior.
Lack of empathy is another symptom of ASPD, which can make it difficult for people to understand or care about the feelings of others. As people with ASPD get older, they may find it even harder to understand and empathize with others, leading to a lack of remorse or guilt for their actions.
Treatment for ASPD
The symptoms of ASPD can become worse with age, but there are treatments that can help people manage their symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people with ASPD recognize and manage their emotions and behavior. Medication can also be used to help people with ASPD manage their symptoms. Additionally, supportive therapy and psychoeducation can help people with ASPD understand their condition and learn how to cope with their symptoms.
