This video answers the question: Can I identify some of the beliefs and thoughts behind the behavior associated with antisocial personality disorder?

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.
