ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER

People with Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) show tendencies (which may be violent) that put people in a bad spot. It is a mental condition where the person deliberately manipulates, exploits or violates their victims without any form of remorse. Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a condition characterized by a lack of empathy and indifference to people’s feelings. 

Features of antisocial personality disorder
You can identify some of these features in individuals diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder:
- Insensitivity to people’s feelings
- Taking advantage of perceived vulnerable people for personal gratification. 
- Manipulation of situations to favor their preferred outcome
- Aggressiveness towards people. 
- Indulging in criminal and life-threatening activities with no regard for themselves or others. 
- Lying at the expense of others. 
- Having no remorse for hurting their victims.
- Unreasonably opinionated and egoistical. 

What causes a person to become antisocial?
How people think, view or understand people differs, and this is largely influenced by their experiences. The cause of ASPD is not exactly known but personalities can be birthed from life experiences, circumstances or inherited genes. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder may have gone through seasons of neglect, abuse, and inhumane degradations.

Other factors that may cause Antisocial Personality Disorder are:
- Exposure to an unhealthy, violent lifestyle as a child.
- A medical history of a mental condition in the family. 
- Willful desires to cause harm to themselves or others. 

Some resulting problems in individuals with antisocial personality disorder include:
- Alcohol and drug abuse.
- Suicidal thoughts or desires to cause harm to others. 
- Indulging in criminal activities that may lead to jail time or in worse cases, death. 
- Financial, health, social or educational challenges which may lead to other mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. 
- Child or spousal abuse, neglect or maltreatment. 

Intervention strategies 
Diagnosing someone with antisocial personality disorder requires a mental health expert, as the disorder develops over time, sometimes from adolescence.

Therefore, if you have noticed someone around you showing some of the features listed above, it is important to recommend seeking professional help to manage the disorder and the problems that are often associated.

    My name is Amelia Jonathan from the United States Using this opportunity to thank Dr. Ughulu is a grateful thing to me for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has gone because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through and then direct me to contact Dr. Ughulu who is a very powerful man which I did explain my problem to Dr. Ughulu and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now. I promise Dr Ughulu I will testify about his good work on the internet.
