Diagnosis and Treatment

There are innumerable psychological disorders that are defined and redefined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).  For the measure of this exercise, I have chosen to focus upon one that contrasts my socialistic personality- Antisocial Personality Disorder.  This disorder not only affects the person diagnosed with the disease but also is omnipresence in societies.  This is the reason that trends in diagnosis and treatments change so much – it is extensively studied.  The most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, (the fourth edition, text revision or DSM-IV-TR, 2000) classifies APD as one of four “Cluster B Personality Disorders” along with borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders.
