 Antisocial personality disorder

Antisocial personality disorder is a diagnostic construct describing an enduring adult pattern of disregard for others' rights, associated with behaviors such as deceitfulness, irresponsibility or impulsivity under the relevant diagnostic system.

The word antisocial here does not mean simply preferring solitude. Nor does a diagnostic label establish one uniform cause or justify inferring a particular individual's future behavior from the label alone.^[ref]
