Personality disorders - Antisocial personality disorder

In the description below a stereotype is used to give you an idea of the disorder. However, not all people who have this disorder display all these characteristics, and not all people have these characteristics to the same degree.

Description

People with this disorder are often recognized as criminals. They break the law. They are very impulsive: they instantly do whatever comes to their mind and don't care what other people think about them. Moreover, they have little fear of the police.

Normal

A lot of people break the law. These people do not automatically have an antisocial personality disorder. Most people who break the law feel (somewhat) responsible for their deeds and can change by external pressure (parents, family, friends).

Abnormal

Someone with this disorder does not feel responsible for what is done. They don't care about the opinion of other people. Because of this, these people hardly have any friends or other relationships. They often get involved in criminal activities.
