About Antisocial Personality Disorder

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is not a medical procedure but a complex mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others. In psychiatry, the management of ASPD involves a comprehensive, long-term treatment approach rather than a single procedure. This typically includes structured psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), aimed at addressing harmful behaviors, improving impulse control, and developing empathy and social skills. Treatment is often challenging and focuses on managing specific behaviors and co-occurring conditions like substance abuse or depression. A multidisciplinary team, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, collaborates to create a tailored treatment plan, as there is no medication specifically approved for ASPD itself.

PATIENT REVIEW

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
