Hi, guys. My close friend has some mental problems and he visited psychiatrist several days ago. It seems that he has Antisocial Personality Disorder. I have read something about that, but the thing that really interests me is whether there is a cure for this condition or not. Your help will be appreciated.

Hello. Usually, people with Antisocial Personality Disorder rarely report themselves to a psychiatrist for treatment. This condition belongs to the disorders that are very difficult to treat. These people simply neglect treatment. Psychotherapy can help them to develop interpersonal skills. It is very important to establish strong relationship between a patient and a therapist. If there are some additional problems like depression or anxiety, medications can also be introduced to therapy. Your friend can be prescribed antidepressant or antipsychotic drug. Unfortunately, people with this disorder often don’t take their medications. I hope your friend will be an exception. Good luck!
