I am diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder and I suspect that I also have developed a depression. I can't find much information about this combination and of course I can't diagnose myself with depression so I wanted to know if anyone here has experience with this.
The reason I suspect this is because I've lost all my sexual interest and I have no interest in people anymore. I could easily kill myself but I know that I could throw away a future, so I don't do it. Nothing entertains me. I'm tired and have zero motivation in anything. Another problem is that most people would just say that this is the result of shallow affect but I remember that I had more emotions and pleasure when I didn't felt this way. I want to seek help but I don't want to tell a psychiatrist that I was diagnosed with AsPD in the past, because I don't want someone to say that this is just AsPD. I've lived with AsPD as long as I can remember and I haven't always felt this way. What are your experiences? Thanks! |

Hey I'm sorry your depressed. I understand why you're so scared to see a therapist as society is so quick to condemn people with aspd. I can't diagnose you but I can be your friend. My fiancé has aspd. Your not evil and you deserve love and kindness just like everyone else |

Hello,
I have also been diagnosed with ASPD and I'm now struggling with a PTSD... which also leads to depression. Although I think that as an ASPD we don't feel the depression as others do, I also share the same symptoms as you... my sex drive has drop a lot, I can still have it if I am "seduced" but I just enjoy it shortly in the moment, rarely not at all as if nothing is happening, and right after I am back to being uninterested and not enjoying what I have just done. My interest in people was never big but now is equal to nonexistent! Not even to play my, I call it, "manipulation passive agressive lying game in a personal fun way for myself. Also, I am not interested in seducing other people. Sadly, I have no real advice to tell you but I am in therapy for it and it's Bering addressed separately to my ASPD obviously they do take that in count but they don't say is just a symptom of my ASPD... but the thing is that since I lived a traumatic event they were able to easily recognized my PTSD symptoms and not mix it with my ASPD. I would recommend you to be honest to your therapist and explain your previous diagnosis and say clearly that you didn't feel before this way you are feeling right now. Is hard to find a therapist willing to work with people like us, I am being treated in a university hospital in a pilot program, so they are enthusiastic in research. Maybe you should search something like this? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
