Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is identified as a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood. [1] In addition, essential diagnostic features include an on-going pattern of deceit and manipulation, as well as a documented history of a conduct disorder prior to age 15. [1]

Antisocial personality disorder falls within the B cluster of personality disorders, along with Borderline personality disorder, Histrionic personality disorder, and Narcissistic personality disorder. [1]
