Abstract

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a persistent psychiatric disorder. Behaviors and emotions deviate from the norm. Inherent impulsivity, comorbid alcohol dependence, and violation of laws cause severe challenges at individual and societal levels. Both environment and heritability alter the risk for ASPD. Research shows that specific biologic changes predispose to this disorder. Biological factors may lead to novel possibilities to treat and alleviate symptoms with medications or nutritional means. However, treatment of ASPD meets particular challenges due to the inherent symptoms of the disorder, and firm evidence-based personalized treatments are scant. This chapter describes the disorder and associated adverse outcomes in life such as recurrent violent behavior and increased mortality. Moreover, treatment possibilities are discussed covering risk assessment, medication, psychotherapy, and nutrition.
