Activity Description

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive and enduring pattern of disregarding and violating the rights of others, typically emerging in childhood or early adolescence and persisting throughout an individual's life. This disorder significantly impacts interpersonal and occupational functioning, often leading to profound impairments in overall quality of life. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder frequently engage in criminal behavior and struggle to learn from the negative consequences of their actions. Coexisting psychiatric conditions and substance use disorders are common among those affected, adding to the complexity of the disorder.

This activity on antisocial personality disorder focuses on the underlying etiology, assessment, and treatment of the disorder. The multidisciplinary team managing this personality disorder must collaborate to provide comprehensive care. By equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to address this complex condition, the activity aims to enhance overall patient outcomes. Through a thorough understanding of antisocial personality disorder and its management, healthcare providers can better support individuals affected by this challenging disorder and contribute to improved patient well-being.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and social workers.
