Symptoms and Causes

A person who has Antisocial Personality Disorder over the age of 15 must have had shown symptoms of Conduct Disorder under the age of 15. The symptoms are basically what the criteria shows, which includes disregard for others and self, aggrivation and violence, manipulation and lying.

This disorder can be passed through the genes, such as a sufferers having shy parents or unhappy outlooks on life.
It can also be caused by your life's experiences, such as a harsh up-bringing or parents getting divorced during childhood.
APD is caused mainly by a combination of these two things, rather than just the one.
