Brian scans of people diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder have shown a reduction or deformity of the brain (Moskowitz, 2011). While reading this paper, one will find the definition, symptoms, and treatment of antisocial personality disorder.
Definition of antisocial personality disorder: While growing up most people are taught do not lie, be polite to everyone, and never forget your manners. People that have antisocial personality disorder do not follow those rules opposed of what they might have learned while growing up (Antisocial personality, 2013) Antisocial personality disorder or ASPD, is a health condition of the mind that makes those diagnosed different than others in many ways (Antisocial personality, 2016).
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a mental disorder therefore; the symptoms are all behavioral. People with ASPD are deceitful, reckless, remorseless, aggressive, and impulsive. They put themselves first no matter the cost to anyone else (Antisocial personality, 2013). Having antisocial personality disorder does not make you a criminal, not everyone with the disorder is violent. They still hold the symptoms of the disorder; they just might not be as severe as others. They are still manipulating and will deceive you in any way possible for their own benefit (Robinson, 2016).

Doctors and scientist have done studies on people diagnoses with antisocial personality disorder and have found very interesting results. Brain scans of people with antisocial personality disorder have shown deformities of the brain (Moskowitz, 2011).

These two gyri are parts of the frontal lobes of the brain. The Archives of General
