psychopaths > Antisocial personality disorder        UK

Personality disorders

are mental health conditions

that affect how someone thinks, perceives,

feels or relates to others.

Antisocial personality disorder

is a particularly challenging

type of personality disorder

characterised by impulsive, irresponsible

and often criminal behaviour.

Someone with antisocial personality disorder

will typically be manipulative, deceitful and reckless,

and won't care for other people's feelings.

Like other types of personality disorder,

antisocial personality disorder is on a spectrum,

which means it can range in severity

from occasional bad behaviour

to repeatedly breaking the law

and committing serious crimes.

Psychopaths are considered

to have a severe form

of antisocial personality disorder.
