On ‘Psychology Behind the Headlines,’ hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Dr. Cortina Peters discuss the research published in the Journal of Molecular Psychiatry that reveals a chemical imbalance in the brains of individuals with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
Brain scans illuminate differences
Brain scans can highlight variations in brain chemistry associated with impulsive behaviors, including those seen in individuals with ASPD.
Understanding chemical imbalances
Identifying these imbalances could lead to the development of targeted therapies and interventions to address the root causes of aggression in ASPD.
The need for continued research
Dr. Peters stresses the importance of further research and investment to develop effective treatments for individuals with ASPD and improve their quality of life.
