Treatment: Pharmacological Interventions[edit]

There is a Cochrane review about pharmacological interventions. It looks at 8 different studies involving drugs as treatment for AsPD. The review concluded that there is little good quality evidence for what may be an effective treatment, these studies did find that bromocriptine, nortriptyline, and phenytoin were superior to placebos. This could be added to the treatment section and the cochrane review could be added to the sources.

Treatment: Psychological Interventions[edit]

There is another cochrane review on the psychological interventions for AsPD. This review examined 11 different studies. Contingency Management and CBT should be added to this page as possible treatment options, and this review should be added as a new source.

Famous Examples?[edit]

I think including a couple of famous individuals who have been confirmed diagnosed with Anti-Social Personality Disorder could aid in the understanding of the disorder to someone without a psychological background. Elvenhelm (talk) 16:54, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Be very careful when adding such examples, make sure it's extremely well cited and preferably don't use biographies of living persons. The Blue Rider

Conduct disorder[edit]

do we need this many details on a different disorder? I understand its connection to ASPD, but this feels very detailed. I'm a newbie at this so i don't know Bree1699 (talk) 19:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable enough to me, conduct disorder is the ASPD equivalent for children. The Blue Rider
