When handling the issue, psychiatrics should ensure that social aspects of history and corresponding theories related to antisocial personality disorder. In the quest to explore ASP, it is appropriate for medical staff to ensure that pediatricians are well conversant with computer and computing. All stakeholders within or outside the patients family lineage should learn more about causes, prevalence, treatment and preventive measures to ensure that the vulnerable population are well taken care of.

Abstract
In human development, antisocial behavior tend to have its roots in children, teachers, parents
and pediatricians as well
...
Violence and aggression are the order, for children
with symptoms that suits
...
In the quest to
explore ASP, it is appropriate for medical staff to ensure that pediatricians are well conversant
with computer and computing
...
Proper adoption of early, effective and appropriate
lessons in behavioral skills, discipline psychotherapy and family therapy are important in
reducing chances that at-risk population may become adults with antisocial personality disorder
...
However, treating the disorder has been notoriously faced with difficulties (American Psychiatric
Association, 1968)
...
Research
indicate that there are myriad similarities among personality disorders hence there is need for indepth and critically refined diagnostics before undertaking any treatment (Zeier, Maxwell &
Newman, 2009)
...
Social Aspect of the History
According to American Psychiatric Association 2000, antisocial personality disorder has been
exhibited in young people with relatively “social deviancy”
...
According to American
Psychiatric Association 1980, the duration taken to exhibit the first and last symptoms of the
disorder lasts for 19 years
...
The Theories of Antisocial Personality Disorder
The cognitive behavior theory- This theory focuses on mental organization and how the patients
presents their thoughts especially through dysfunction behavior
...
Theory of mind and mentalizing capability- The theory affirms that antisocial personality
disorder is limited in spite of tangible evidence that neural substances within the theory of mind
are integrated within similar circuits which are implicated within pathogenesis of antisocial
personality disorder (Meloy, 2006; Munro, 2007)
...
In addition,
studies indicate that if mothers smoke during pregnancy then their offspring’s are likely to
develop antisocial behavior since smoking lowers oxygen level, thus leading to restrained brain
injury to the fetus
...
This is based on tangible evidence since antisocial personality disorder patients often have
lower resting pulse rates as well as lower skin conductance, which showcases decreased
amplitude in brain measures
...
Thus, both
the prefrontal cortex and temporal lobes are effective in regulating mood and behavior
...
Causes of Antisocial Personality Disorder
To date, there is no distinct cause of antisocial personality disorder, although research indicates
that like many other mental disorders, antisocial personality disorder evidence point to inherited
traits (Zeier, Maxwell & Newman, 2009)
...
In spite of the fact that ASP disorder may
be hereditary, environmental factors are also ranked among predisposing factors to the malady
(American Psychiatric Association, 1968)
...
This is reflected by inaccuracy or lower level and/or reduction in response time especially
when dealing with incongruent distractors (Meloy, 2006; Munro, 2007)

The Treatment
Only a few individuals have been observed to seek specified medical attention for antisocial
personality disorder, or ASP
...
Courts and family members are fond of sending some
people for evaluation or mental health counseling especially those perceived to be having mental
disorder
...
In most of the psychiatric hospitals, antisocial patients who seek help and those referred are often
evaluated and treated afterword as outpatients
...
ASP patients do not need hospital care unless they tend to harm themselves or others
...
Psychotherapy- people with ASP disorder should be accorded psychopathy focused on assisting
them in behavior control
...
Cognitive therapy- this was initially developed in order to assist people with depression, but of
late, it has been adopted for people with social personality disorder (ASP)
...
This include but not limited to
regular attendance, completion of any necessary process as assigned, active participation outside
the common or daily routines

The Prevention
Among the vulnerable population, there is no sure way to prevent antisocial personality disorder
from developing
...
Early treatment is advisable, and sticking with the
treatment process for a long time may avert severe symptoms (American Psychiatric
Association, 1968)
...
It
also affirms why diagnosis of antisocial personality behaviour is not conducted on individuals
unless they are over 18 years
