Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is marked by a consistent pattern of disregarding and infringing upon the rights of others. Those with ASPD often exhibit no remorse or guilt for their actions and struggle to learn from past experiences, particularly when negative outcomes result from their behavior. They may engage in deceptive, manipulative, or injurious conduct, ignoring societal rules or the emotions of others.
This absence of empathy and guilt differentiates ASPD from other personality disorders, such as borderline, histrionic, or narcissistic disorders, which present distinct emotional and behavioral profiles.
