Antisocial Personality Disorder: Which comorbidity is commonly associated?

• A. Somatization disorders, depression, and substance abuse
• B. Alzheimer's disease
• C. Generalized anxiety disorder
• D. Migraine

Answer: (A)

Antisocial personality disorder commonly co-occurs with substance use disorders, and mood symptoms like depression are also frequently seen. This pattern reflects how impulsivity, risk-taking, and affective distress can cluster in this group, making substance abuse and depressive symptoms typical companions to this personality pattern. Somatization disorders can appear in some cases, contributing to a more complex clinical picture, which is why the combination that includes somatization, depression, and substance abuse best fits the usual comorbidity seen with antisocial personality disorder.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurocognitive condition that isn’t typically a comorbidity of a personality disorder; generalized anxiety disorder can occur but is not as characteristically linked; and migraine is a medical/neurological condition rather than a primary psychiatric comorbidity, so they don’t align as closely with the common patterns.
