There is a Cochrane review about pharmacological interventions. It looks at 8 different studies involving drugs as treatment for AsPD. The review concluded that there is little good quality evidence for what may be an effective treatment, these studies did find that bromocriptine, nortriptyline, and phenytoin were superior to placebos. This could be added to the treatment section and the cochrane review could be added to the sources.

There is another cochrane review on the psychological interventions for AsPD. This review examined 11 different studies. Contingency Management and CBT should be added to this page as possible treatment options, and this review should be added as a new source.

do we need this many details on a different disorder? I understand its connection to ASPD, but this feels very detailed. I'm a newbie at this so i don't know Bree1699 (talk) 19:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable enough to me, conduct disorder is the ASPD equivalent for children. The Blue Rider 20:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The inclusion of the term "dissocial personality disorder" not only as an alternative name in the lead but also a whole sentence about the topic latter down in the lead is obviously WP:UNDUE since the term is relatively niche. The only reason it is considered an alternative name is that it was once featured in the ICD-10. However, since that version is outdated and has been replaced by the new ICD-11, which has completely revised the definitions and diagnoses of personality disorders, the name is obsolete. I suggest removing it from the lead. The Blue Rider 23:38, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s also important to note that the term is mentioned only once throughout the entire article, aside from the lead, and only in passing to indicate that it was once included in the ICD-10; giving more strenght to the WP:UNDUE argument. The Blue Rider 23:45, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @NuanceQueen for input as they were the person who originally added it. RachelTensions (talk) 14:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RachelTensions Thanks for pinging! I think I must have seen it later in the article text and added it to the lead. @The Blue Rider I'm totally okay with removing it from the lead -- to be honest, I don't remember adding it. Given that it's uncommon, but has been used as an official diagnostic term, I think including it in the infobox is an appropriate solution. NuanceQueen (talk) 03:01, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NuanceQueen Problem solved, thank you! RachelTensions (talk) 03:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reformulated the whole lead and put the alternative name in the infobox. Tell me if you are okay with that. The Blue Rider 14:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
