| Malay, a student of class IX, was referred to a mental health clinic with complaints of stealing money, excessive lying, setting fire to household items, teasing young girls of the locality, and passing lewd remarks and making obscene gestures. The onset was about three years ago and has increased over the past eight months. Of late, he has started using alcohol and spending more time outdoors with friends of similar interests. School reports suggested the gradual development of inappropriate behaviours such as openly defying rules in school, playing truant, instigating fellow students to pass silly remarks in class, and disrespectful attitude towards elders ultimately resulting in frequent school absenteeism, mixing with local goons, and excessive aggression. Further investigation revealed that the family history is disturbed, the relationship with the father was extremely hostile and there were frequent conflicts among the family members. Birth and developmental milestones are normal. |
