Despite being one of the most reliably diagnosed personality disorders, antisocial personality disorder (APD) is also widely known to be one of the of the most difficult personality to treat. In recent years, doctors have increasingly accepted the idea of ​​progressive treatment for APD, but it is essential to determine the extent of the psychosis before undertaking such treatment. There is currently no demonstrably effective treatment. APD is commonly known to be one of the most troubling personality disorders to observe, based on the lack of moral conviction in patients with this disorder. Exemplified by what is sometimes a complete lack of awareness in their actions, a person exhibiting signs of APD generally does not care about the feelings, thoughts, or well-being of those they should be closest to. In short, they don't really care how their actions make anyone else feel, and they may intentionally seek to cause pain, emotional and sometimes physical, to others. They tend to act manipulative with the emotions of others and, in many cases, exhibit criminal tendencies and lifestyles. Self-reported family physicians (those who take independent therapy courses, not affiliated with a school or larger study group) have a harder time diagnosing APD, usually due to manipulative actions of the patient with APD. The patient may even eventually take pride in being able to fool a mental health provider into believing that there is nothing wrong. These actions can be beneficial to the patient's ability to hide or falsify their diagnosis, as well as the results of treatment.
