Lifetime Comorbidity of Antisocial Personality Disorder and Anxiety Disorders Among Adults in the Community

The association between lifetime anxiety disorders, conduct disorder (CD), & antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) among adults was explored. Data were drawn from the National Comorbidity Survey, a representative community sample of U.S. adults aged 15-54. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association between anxiety disorders, CD & ASPD, & between the co-occurrence of anxiety & ASPD in the likelihood of comorbid substance use & affective disorders, suicidal ideation & suicide attempt. Findings are discussed. (29 refs)
