A member asked:
If someone is willing to commit crime or hurt others to preserve socioeconomic status, is this antisocial or psychotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Criminal minds: Criminal actions may exist besides pathology. They are different dimensions, not all criminals are mentally ill. Antisocial personality disorder, (pattern of behaviors formerly called psychopathic) may fit better the description than psychosis. Further criteria is necessary, a particular individual only can be diagnosed properly through a comprehensive psych evaluation.
