He is 29 years old.has done study upto high school only and is not doing anything .For last many yrs he is on following medication: Pacitane -1 ----------OD Resperidone-1------BD Prodep-20------------OD However, we dont find much improvement / control over his repetitive behaviour and anger.He gets extremely furious over petty matters specially whenever his unending demands are declined and creates a lot of fuss in the family.He sometimes , while in extreme fit of anger, pretends to kill himself by holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
