| I’d wish I had a much better topic but unfortunately I need to ask something about my girlfriend. She has been diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder and it look like she has been suffering from it for quite a while. And I guess that explains a lot about her character. Can you tell me something about this condition; I guess I want to know if it is treatable. |

| Well, there is nothing else for this type of problem but a therapy, which will try to reveal what is the cause of the problem, why does the patient act the way he/she does. There are several therapies that could help here, but honestly, this is something that is not easily dealt with. True cause is not easily established, although some say that biological and genetic factors may have an important role in developing this condition. |

2. Recklessness
3.Compulsive lying
4.Wont take responsibility for own`s actions
5.Not knowing right from wrong
6.Shallow Emotions
7. Lack of couscience
The warning signs of this disorder are from the Macdonal Triad, which consist of
1.Abnormal amounts of bedwetting
2.Killing and Torturing animals
3.Setting things on fire
These 3 warning signs of anti-social personality disorder usually show up within the child at age..8 or so. This would be called a conduct disorder, or optional difiant disorder, if the behavior continues at age 18, than the conduct disorder will become anti-social personality disorder. Just curious, is your girlfreind a psychopath or sociopath? |
