Hi Sir
Thanks for seeking help here.
As the symptoms started since once month and it indicates he is having significant antisocial behaviour. Well from one symptom we can't make a clear conclusion. We must need a detail evaluation. Please answer the following....
Does he uses any substance like alcohol
Is he too short tempered.
Is he impulsivity.
Is there personality changes.
Has he faced any trauma recently
Is there a head injury
Is this a mood episode.
Happy to help you....
