The Behavioral Pharmacology of Antisocial Behavior

The behavioral pharmacology of antisocial behavior examines how certain medications influence actions associated with such behavior, often linked to brain chemistry. For example, some drugs may reduce aggression or impulsivity by altering neurotransmitter levels like serotonin or dopamine. Understanding these effects helps in developing treatments that can manage or reduce problematic behaviors, especially when combined with therapy. However, medication alone isn't a cure; it must be part of a comprehensive approach addressing underlying psychological and social factors.
