Some studies suggest this increase in suicidality is in part due to the association between suicide and symptoms or trends within ASPD, such as criminality and substance use. Offspring of people with ASPD are also at risk. Some research suggests that negative or traumatic experiences in childhood, perhaps as a result of the choices a parent with ASPD might make, can be a predictor of delinquency later on in the childs life. Additionally, with variability between situations, children of a parent with ASPD may face consequences of delinquency if theyre raised in an environment in which crime and violence is common. Suicide is a leading cause of death among youth who display antisocial behavior, especially when mixed with delinquency. Incarceration, which could come as a consequence of actions from a person with ASPD, is a predictor for suicide ideation in youth. History
The first version of the DSM in 1952 listed sociopathic personality disturbance. This category was for individuals who were considered "...ill primarily in terms of society and of conformity with the prevailing milieu, and not only in terms of personal discomfort and relations with other individuals." There were four subtypes, referred to as "reactions": antisocial, dyssocial, sexual, and addiction. The antisocial reaction was said to include people who were "always in trouble" and not learning from it, maintaining "no loyalties", frequently callous and lacking responsibility, with an ability to "rationalize" their behavior.
However, some researchers have drawn distinctions between the concepts of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy, with many researchers arguing that psychopathy is a disorder that overlaps with but is distinguishable from ASPD. Symptoms and behaviors
Addiction
ASPD is one of the personality disorders most likely to be associated with addiction. This is due to their tendency towards impulsive and reckless decision making, which puts them at risk of developing a substance abuse disorder, prepulse inhibition deficiency, misuse of oral administrations, drug overdoses, blood-borne diseases, shorter periods of abstinence, drug use at earlier ages, aggressive behavior, impulsivity, frequent illegal drug use, drug injections, and difficult interpersonal relationships. Substance abuse problems are far more common amongst people with ASPD who live in rural environments rather than urban ones. There are also gender differences between men and women in regard to substance abuse. Men who abuse substances are far more likely to have ASPD than women, who are more likely to have a mood disorder. The relationship between substance abuse and ASPD can be affected by other personality disorders. For example, one of the previously mentioned studies found that 27.6% of participants who had ASPD and alcohol abuse had more than one personality disorder. Heroin, methamphetamine, opiates, alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, polydrugs, cocaine, and crack cocaine are some prevalent drugs amongst people with ASPD. Alongside substance abuse, patients with ASPD are more likely to develop a gambling addiction. Impulsivity
Antisocial personality disorder has been associated with higher levels of impulsivity, suicidality,  and irresponsible behavior.
