Antisocial personality disorder

Explanation:

Antisocial personality disorder (often abbreviated into ASPD or APD) is a mental illness classified as a personality disorder. ASPD is characterized by the lack of remorse when violating others rights, and disregard for what society considers as morally right or wrong.

Sociopathy is often seen as synonymous with this mental illness - and so does psychopathy, although the latter has been argued to be an entirely different classification to ASPD. This mental illness can only be diagnosed once an individual has entered the age of the majority. Underaged individuals displaying similar behavioral patterns are commonly diagnosed with another disorder called conduct disorder.
