Hello
Thanks for your query. I understand the concern for your son. The possibilities include conduct or antisocial personality disorder or substance use disorder. If he is unwilling to XXXXXXX a psychiatrist at this stage you can take him to a clinical psychological counsellor on the pretext of solving interpersonal or family issues. This opportunity can be used to explore and assess your son. This can be followed by appropriate management later on. In absence of substance use medication would not play a role and psychotherapy would play the key role. Wish him good health.
