00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Psychopath
00:14and Sociopath. People with ASPD can seem witty and charming but also lie and take advantage of
00:19others without remorse. They often act recklessly and don't feel guilty when their actions harm
00:24others. Modern diagnostic systems recognize ASPD as including two similar but distinct conditions.
00:30A psychopath is someone whose harmful actions are calculated, manipulative, and cunning,
00:35they usually lack real emotion and only imitate empathy. This is a more severe form of ASPD,
00:40and such individuals can be deceptively charming. In contrast, sociopaths can form some attachments
00:46but still ignore social rules. They are generally more impulsive, disorganized, and easily agitated
00:51than psychopaths. ASPD affects 2% to 4% of the population and is more common in men.
00:571. Symptoms – People with ASPD may lie, con, and exploit others, act rashly and aggressively,
01:04break the law and social norms, disregard safety, showing no remorse, fail to meet responsibilities,
01:10and fight or assault other people. 2. Who's at Risk – Antisocial
01:14Personality Disorder is more common in men than in women. While the exact cause is unclear,
01:18experts believe genetics and biological factors, particularly in psychopathy, play a role.
01:23Growing up in a traumatic or abusive environment is also considered a significant factor,
01:28especially in sociopathy. Research suggests that brain defects and injuries during developmental
01:33years may also be connected to ASPD. Possibly because they often break the law, many prisoners
01:38have ASPD, with about 47% of male and 21% of female inmates affected. Children with
01:44conduct disorder are at higher risk of developing ASPD.
01:473. Diagnosis and Treatment – To diagnose ASPD, signs of conduct disorder must have appeared
01:53before age 15, though diagnosis isn't made until 18. Symptoms often peak in the late teens and
01:58twenties but may improve with age. ASPD is tough to treat, as people with it rarely seek help.
02:04When they do, behavioral therapy or psychotherapy may help, along with certain medications for
02:09symptoms like impulsive aggression. There are no FDA-approved medication specifically for ASPD.
02:15If someone close to you has ASPD, consider joining a support group or seeking help from
02:19a mental health professional. You can't change their behavior, but you can learn to set boundaries
02:24and protect yourself. Thanks for watching, Sunbro. Please subscribe, like, comment,
