Often people with this disorder find themselves in a group setting, because they aren't given any treatment choices. This is usually not conducive to their treatment, since in most groups, the individual can remain emotionally-closed and has little reason to share with others. It also doesn't help that these groups are often made up of people suffering from a wide range of mental disorders. Groups which are devoted exclusively to this disorder, though rare, are the best choice. In such a group, the patient is given a greater reason to contribute and share with others.

Families often misunderstand and are confused about the cause of the antisocial behaviors and the idea that it is a mental disorder. While there are many theories, as with all personality disorders, research has found little significant causative factors. Hospitalization Rarely is inpatient care appropriate or necessary for this personality disorder. Like most personality disorders, most people will go through their lives with little realization of the difficulty they have. In this case, though, the person is more likely to be seen as a criminal and have a history of difficulties with the law.
