My 14 year old brother is really aggressive at times but it is visible that all of his aggression come from how hyperactive he is, and impulsive. He always wants things done immediately, and his aggression has been seriously problematic for all of us. He can’t sit still for once and has to be stimulated, he likes it through sports, but neither me, my Dad/Mom or the friends he plays with can be available for his fun 24/7

His therapist told how it is CD and how it may have been childhood ADHD which went unmanaged, but from the lens of a therapist at the clinic, she can’t diagnose it with ADHD.

He has calmed down since the last few days, but the aggression was enough to get admitted. He is on anxiolytes and antipsychotics, and I just want to know what steps we can take or resources that will make it better for him to manage his hyperactivity and impulsivity?

    If the meds aren’t helping then they’re wrong. Btw. Why is he on an anxiolytic? Sounds like they’ve diagnosed him with something else?
