What Is a Antisocial Personality Disorder?
8. What Are the Treatment Options for People with Antisocial Personality Disorder?
Treatment for antisocial personality disorder often involves a combination of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy, and behavioral therapy. The aim of these treatments is to help people with the condition change their thought patterns, feel rewarded for positive behaviors, and learn how to relate better to others.
Medications may be used to help with anxiety or depression if present; however, there is no medication available to treat antisocial personality disorder specifically. Part of the treatment may also be addressing other destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse.
