How many people in the united states suffer from antisocial personality disorder?
APD is estimated to affect 3% of males and 1% of females in the general United States population. Mental health professionals may diagnose 3%-30% of the population in clinical settings as having the disorder. The percentages may be even higher among prison inmates or persons in treatment for substance abuse. By some estimates, three-quarters of the prison population may meet the diagnostic criteria for APD.
