Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) itself does not typically qualify for a verdict of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder in Canada. This defense usually requires the defendant to be suffering from a severe mental health condition that impairs their ability to understand the nature and quality of the act or to know that it was wrong, which does not generally include ASPD.
