Behave Aggressive And Abusive. Has Chronic Stomach And Constipation Problem. Treatment?

I do perfectly understand how frustrating it could be to deal with a loved one who does behaves as such. However, certain precisions could be very useful analyzing and proposing appropriate management options for him:
1. For how long has this been going on?
2. Do you remember any trigger condition or situation the led to this?
3. Whom does he disclose or expose most of his concerns? To whom is he closest to?
These are key questions if answered could serve as key entry points i n resolving this situation.
From the medical point of view, chronic constipation especially in an adult greater 60 years of age deserves a formal exclusion of a tumor of the colon. The compels a blood hemocult test for occult blood in stool and a colonoscopy be done. Dietary changes with inadequate intake of water, vegetables, fruits, fibres, lack of exercise of psychological stress could all contribute to chronic constipation. Modification of these lifestyle changes could offer much help then.
I think your father would certainly need to consult a psychiatrist. I might for sure, be difficult to convince him to see one directly. However, as I asked earlier on, a person he is so used to, trusts, familiar with and open to could be the main gateway to convince him and get him have a psychiatric consultation. A complete clinical review by a psychiatrist, considering the above cited considerations and measures with respect to his problem of constipation could be of great help.
I suggest you book an appointment with a psychiatrist. Should you have a further very specific questions, I would be more than glad to chip in my contribution for his well being. Wish you the best of health and kind regards.
