What is a differential diagnosis?

A differential diagnosis means distinguishing between several health conditions with similar symptoms. Certain disorders may mimic ASPD, so it’s important for your healthcare provider to make the right diagnosis. These disorders include:

• Borderline personality disorder, or unstable moods and manipulative behavior.
• Narcissistic personality disorder, or an inflated sense of self-importance.
• Substance abuse disorder, or an addiction to drugs or alcohol.
