Intermittent explosive disorder (IED)
My father had a sudden attack of aggressive behaviour, damaging property, domestic abuse,
domestic violence. He is always shouting and repeating the same words again and again.
Previously he had behaved like this but,he did not have any aggressive intent and did not damage any property. This is the first time we've seen him in this condition. This situation is from last 10days. He is not in his control and not ready to get medicated.

Hi..
I understand your problem.
Your father is suffering from psychosis..
He would need medications.
Pls consult a psychiatrist. Get thorough psychological and neurological assessment done.( To rule out any organic induced cause).
Bcoz this situation may get worsened if not treated immediately.
