Patient's Query
Hi doctor i wanted to bring your towards a patient a child (14 years old) i have prepared a summary which you can go through below. summary Patient exhibits aggressive and provocative behavior, with frequent outbursts (twice to thrice a day) that are both verbal and physical. The first severe outburst occurred in August 1st week. During these episodes, he becomes violent, attacking those closest to him, including his parents and brother. His speech is characterized by accusations of being "bad" and claims of conspiracy against him. After the outbursts, he displays remorseful behavior, crying and showing guilt. Physical attacks are severe and pose a risk of harm to himself or others. He also exhibits unusual behaviors such as spitting on objects and people, and attempting to lick them. Patient's history reveals: * Early childhood difficulties with keeping up in school * Competition with younger brother (2 years his junior) * Possible neglect or feeling neglected by parents due to favoritism towards the younger sibling * Lack of friends at school * Issues with making eye contact, paying attention, and lack of confidence Before the first outburst, he showed signs of: * Avoiding eye contact * Difficulty paying attention * Lack of confidence in performing or speaking when prompted The patient is currently under neurologist care after the initial outburst.

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel
This is a tough situation with the 14-year-old child you're dealing with. It appears he is suffering from aggressive behavior, outbursts, and a lack of control over his emotions. These symptoms can be caused by various reasons, including emotional distress, underlying mental health issues, or neurological conditions. As he is already seeing a neurologist, it is crucial to maintain communication with the healthcare team to assess and treat the condition properly. Medications may be given to him to help regulate his mood and behavior.
