V. Translate the text using a dictionary: Text b. Complications of antisocial behavior

The most common complication faced by people with antisocial personality disorder (APD) is incarceration and frequent conflicts with the law. Substance abuse is a common problem among psychopaths. Both due to substance abuse and symptoms of APD many sociopaths experience panic attacks, tension, and anxiety problems. Suicide attempts are much higher among sociopaths than the general population.

Treatment is problematic as the psychopath is likely to resist. Medications ate not generally advised as the sociopath will either not take the medication or, in many cases, abuse it or try to manipulate the physician into prescribing specific drugs.

Treatment has been used to treat antisocial behavior with limited success. Intensive. long-term, inpatient treatment has been shown to be successful if the patient is cooperative. Spread over the course of years inpatient treatment of APD is expensive but much less expensive and more effective than incarceration.

Utimately time appears to be the best treatment for APD. It is unclear whether this means APD symptoms diminish with age or whether age prevents the psychopath from acting as he or she would when younger.
