How do you live with a person who has antisocial personality disorder?
Mecheve
An old-fashioned name for antisocial personality disorder is psychopath. These are damaged people, and most of the damage was probably done during their childhoods. A person with antisocial personality disorder was most likely neglected or abused as a child. But the abuse and neglect doesn't have to be severe; even benign neglect can cause a person to develop this illness. Living with other people isn't easy. Whether they're a college dorm-mate, a roommate, a parent, a lover or a spouse, sharing daily living space with other human beings requires a lot of compromising and setting of rules in order. But the problem with antisocial disorder is that there are no specific medications for that condition. That means that only some sort of the psycho therapy, perhaps a group one might help. But of course, he has to have the will and desire for that. A family is like an orange: each segment is unique, but connected to make a whole. When member suffers, the entire family suffers. When a loved one in your family is suffering from one of the personality disorders, the entire family is under stress.There are many excellent therapists, counselors, and medical practitioners who specialize in treating personality disorders, but very often the caregivers are overlooked. Just as Mom and Dad can be taken for granted by the children, they can also be assumed to be doing just fine in such a stressful environment.
It doesn't matter much what the personality disorder is when it concerns the well-being of the family. It could be borderline personality disorder, depression, Bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or manic depression. The caregivers need to be taken care of as well!

Did the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder hurt people?
The answer depends on what you mean by "hurt." If you mean can someone with OCD harm another person in a violent manner, the answer is probably not, but possibly depending on the situation and if the person has any other co-morbid psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, attachment disorder or antisocial personality disorder.People with OCD may present with obsessions regarding germs, numbers, or collecting objects or other elements regarding controlling and ordering the chaotic aspects of life. But just because a person exhibits some of these traits does not necessarily mean they have OCD. They may have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder or may have an Autism Spectrum Disorder or may even have garden variety Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The only person that can objectively diagnose OCD is a doctor, preferably a Psychiatrist. If the person is a child, it is critical that the doctor specializes in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.Living with a person with OCD can be difficult, especially if he or she refuses any form of treatment and refuses to alter their behavior to make cohabitation more manageable. Behavioral therapy such as exposure and response prevention and/or medication such as SSRIs can make life more manageable, both for people with OCD and those who live with them.

What is the difference between manic depressive narcissism and borderline personality disorder?
First of all, Manic Depression is now referred to as Bi-Polar Disorder and it is a mood disorder. Narcissism (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and Borderline Personality Disorder are that, Personality Disorders. Someone diagnosed as manic depressive narcissism sounds like a dual disorder, one disorder 'confounded' by another. Since manic depression is bi polar disorder there is a dis-regulation in the highs (mania) and lows (depression). Some people self medicate by using alcohol (a depressant) when they are too high, and using cocaine for example (a stimulant) when they are too low. It is the body's attempt to find a stable mood. Both alcohol and stimulants can exacerbate the signs and symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The 'Narcissistic rage' ignited or inflamed by alcohol is one example. NPD tend to be angry, nasty, exploitive, explosive, evasive, demanding. They are extremely difficult to get along with or live with. NPD have a fear of abandonment, real or imaginary, can not manage emotions in adult fashion, and will initiate break up, take no responsibility for outcome and bask in victim-hood. Borderline Personality Disorder also shows signs of distress around abandonment, real or imaginary, and can not regulate emotions. BPD also rage when they are afraid, fearful or insecure, which only serves to push people away. "Mommy Dearest" is a good portrayal of BPD. There is a spectrum of axis II personality disorders often overlapping. Plenty of info on line. Barbara Kennedy MPH/MSW
How seriously does sociopathy affect someone?
Sociopathy (or in DSM-IV-speak, AntiSocial Disorder) is a character disorder and as such, cannot be cured at the level of technology that exists today. The person served with this disorder then will need palliative therapy in order to learn how to cope with various situations that non-ASD persons find answers to empathetically. Menninger studies of Sociopathy and Paranoid Schizophrenia draw a parallel between coping with these major disorders well, and the amount of ready cash the person served has at hand. This may be interpreted to say that, with a lot of ready help, the ASD person can live a relatively normal, pleasing life. On the other hand, ASD patients do not fare well when poverty is the economic state. In short, it's a serious affliction. The effect is moderated by their financial condition.
