He would likely be categorized as having borderline personality disorder

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) He is not likely to be categorized as having an anti-social personality disorder.

Under DSM-5, the statement that is most likely true is "He is not likely to be categorized as having an anti-social personality disorder."

The DSM-5 is the Diagnosis and Staticals Manual of mental Disorders. It is the most important reference for mental health practitioners in America and has been a good reference for the health industry in other countries.

An anti-social personality disorder is known to be a kind of disorder where the individual does not respect or violate the rights of other persons, no matter what of why. It likes to step over the rights of others without thinking about the consequences, and that is what Anders does.
