10 Symptoms of an Antisocial Personality Disorder
Symptom #7: Substance Abuse
Risk taking and the lack of responsibility in people with Antisocial Personality Disorder can also lead to problems with substance abuse. Not only do they have little consideration for other people, they also tend to have little consideration for their own health. Whereas other people may use alcohol and drugs in moderation, people with Antisocial Personality Disorder tend to abuse alcohol and drugs due to a lack of self-control.
Substance abuse is also likely to exacerbate existing problems. Antisocial behavior is likely to increase, and these habits also place further strain on their finances. It is also considerably harder for people with antisocial personality disorder to be treated in rehabilitation.
