Antisocial Personality Disorder

Do some people at Ozpolitic suffer from this disorder?


Antisocial Personality Disorder


https://www.health.harvard.edu/a_to_z/antisocial-personality-disorder-a-to-z

What Is It?
Published: March, 2019

Antisocial personality disorder, like other personality disorders, is a longstanding pattern of behavior and experience that impairs functioning and causes distress.

By definition, people with antisocial personality disorder don't follow society's norms, are deceitful and intimidating in relationships, and are inconsiderate of the rights of others.
People with this type of personality may take part in criminal activity. But if they do, they are not sorry for their hurtful deeds. They can be impulsive, reckless and sometimes violent. This disorder is far more common and more apparent in men than women.

People with antisocial personality disorder generally do not value "playing by the rules." They do so only if they are threatened with punishment.

This attitude leads to a tendency to exploit others. They take advantage of the fairness or softheartedness of others, and they feel indifferent toward or even contemptuous of their victims.

A person with this disorder has little, if any, ability to be intimate with another person. Any lasting relationships are likely to involve some degree of abuse or neglect.

Antisocial personality disorder

Diagnosis

People with antisocial personality disorder are unlikely to believe they need help. However, they may seek help from their primary care provider because of other symptoms such as depression, anxiety or angry outbursts or for treatment of substance misuse.

People with antisocial personality disorder may not provide an accurate account of signs and symptoms. A key factor in diagnosis is how the affected person relates to others. With permission, family and friends may be able to provide helpful information.

After a medical evaluation to help rule out other medical conditions, the primary care provider may make a referral to a mental health professional for further evaluation.

Diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is typically based on:

   A psychological evaluation that explores thoughts, feelings, relationships, behavior patterns and family history
   Personal and medical history
   Symptoms listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Dear Pasta,
some people are strongly suspected but people
with this disorder get very upset if they are named
so in order to help them it's better if they self identify.

Sociopaths are the type with antisocial personality disorder who are non-violent. Psychopaths are the violent type. People with sociopathy tend to be lacking empathy. But they act well in society because that is what is expected of them.

Yes, you don’t realise that. Posting that crap repeatedly is the work of an antisocial person.

Your behavior in repeatedly posting the same bit of crap you googled proves you to be an antisocial person. Or that you are really really stupid.

This would be a really good time for you to make a sincere and manly apology, Booby. For being offensive, boring and intrusive.

Lots of people think that they do not need help. Six years ago, I was up at the hospital trying to convince people of a poisoning incidence. Not that anyone was going to listen. I was put on medication for a month to sort out my chemical imbalance. Things seemed to resolve themselves. But, I had been telling the truth.

Once you are in mental health, the police flag you for a mental health condition and you have a file with health services that follows you for the rest of your life. Sociopaths are unlikely to want to seek mental help because they need to maintain a certain standard among people in society.

"Victims"? Sociopaths tend to have lower levels of criminality than the rest of society. They do things right because it is expected of them. And there is the idea that criminality would impede them getting what they want. Sociopaths lack considerable empathy. But it is not like they are stupid.

It is the psychopaths who are contemptuous of people.
