Antisocial personality disorder

Impulsive, destructive behaviour that often disregards the feelings and rights of others. People who have an antisocial personality lack a sense of guilt and cannot tolerate frustration. They may have problems with relationships and are frequently in trouble with the law. Behaviour therapy, and various forms of psychotherapy, may help to improve integration. In general, the effects of this disorder decrease with age.
