Antisocial personality
disorder is a chronic mental health condition, informally known as sociopathy.
This disorder is characterized by a disregard of the feelings and rights of
others. A person with this disorder consistently shows no regard for right and
wrong. Some people seem to have no regard for others and can cause harm, manipulate,
exploit, or violate the rights of others without any regret or feelings of
guilt.
The symptoms of
antisocial personality disorder can vary in severity. The more egregious,
harmful, or dangerous behavior patterns are referred to as sociopathic or psychopathic. There has been
much debate as to the distinction between the two descriptions. Sociopathy is
chiefly characterized as something severely wrong with one's conscience; psychopathy is
characterized as a complete lack of conscience regarding others. Some
professionals describe people with this constellation of symptoms as
"stone cold" to the rights of others.
