Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Behavioural disturbance could be either temporary or permanent.Permanent problems usually are associated with organic distortion in the brain and most of times are not cured but just suppressed symptomatically.

Since you say both your kins are affected I do not suspect it to be due to any organic distortion but could be due to stress induced purely.

Such transient behavioural defects can be best cured by counselling sessions by a trained counsellor or by a Psychiatrist. Placing them on medications may temporarily alleviate the symptoms but can cause other long term effects on the mental status.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
