Overview

Antisocial Personality Disorder...What Does It Mean? Antisocial Personality Disorder is one of the most overlooked and most misunderstood diagnoses in the world of mental health. In its most basic definition, it refers to someone who lacks a conscience and thinks only of themselves. However, this idea is far too simplistic, and does not take into consideration the range of potential responses in people who have APD. The most common generalization made is that only murderers, drug addicts, or other criminals have antisocial personality disorder. But there are others whose disorder does not include drugs or violence, yet whose inability to relate to people around them is devastating. How Is Dan Doing? is a candid, eye-opening memoir of one family's journey and struggle with this difficult and controversial diagnosis. Uniquely valuable to anyone who has a family member with APD, this book will give you hope, as well as practical information regarding the navigation of diagnosis and treatment. You will learn about the type of therapy best-suited to this disorder, and how early intervention can make a significant difference. But most of all, you will learn that you are not alone, and that support is available for you and for your family.
