Conduct disorder
My brother if age 16 has been diagnosed with conduct disorder also he is a substance abuser. He has been showing severe symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. Our doctor, who is a psychiatrist, advised us to admit him in a rehab centre, also gave us syp resnin. One time he tried to stab me.
What should we do?

Considering the scenario, it would be beneficial to admit him in a drug rehab and once he is detoxified then work can be done on his personality.
Next Steps
immediate admission in rehab.

Hello
In such a scenario first he needs admission for detoxification & treatment of conduct disorder
A rehab will be of lesser help so get him admitted in a psychiatry set up where he is under the care of a psychiatrist . Few rehabs also have psychiatrist on panel u can try those rehabs as well
