For example, situational stress and transient mental states resulting from Mood or Anxiety Disorders or Intoxication may mimic, but do not constitute a Personality Disorder. We've all heard about the rotten criminals who kill people for profit or malice, and who feel no remorse. We think of this group as suffering from antisocial personality disorder. Many antisocial types are very successful and productive citizens. They are CEOs, Presidents, famous people, etc.
Antisocial types accomplish lots of good stuff .
Antisocial type who are very, very smart are often very, very good at what they do. They seamlessly manipulate their way to whatever, and no one is the wiser. The pretty good ones may get to where they aspire, but they eventually slip up and are found out. In my blatantly unhumble opinion, even though I have never met the person, I can think of one such President whom I think fits the Bill. Remember, abuse occurs behind closed doors.
