Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

Your father in law has impulse control disorder. Stres, depression or bipolar mood disorder should be ruled out. I hope he is not having addiction.

You should take him to psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management. Doctor may advise for some investigations including CAT scan if needed.

He might be benefited with drugs like divalprorex or fluoxetine. He also require anger management.

Thanks.
