IntroductionOverviewAntisocial personality disorder is defined as a mental illness where “a mans methods for considering, seeing circumstances and identifying others are destructive”. Individuals suffering from this condition usually do not have appreciation of good and bad and repeatedly decline requests and ideas of others. They are inclined to “estrange, control or treat others either cruelly or with insensitive detachment”. They might frequently neglect the law without regret, lie, and have problems with medication and liquor abuse. These traits normally make people with antisocial personality disorder not able to meet obligations relevant to family, work or school. On the other hand, borderline personality disorder is a serious mental disease marked by “unstable moods, behavior, and relationships”. In 1980, it was listed as a diagnosable illness by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Third Edition. Moreover, according to an online source, most people who have the disorder suffer from the following: issues with controlling emotions and thoughts, impulsive and reckless behavior, and unstable relationships with other people. Individuals with the disorder are also highly at risk of co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and eating disorders. It may also be accompanied by self-harm, suicidal behaviors, and completed suicides.
