Hello,
This is more like conduct disorder. The treatment would be antipsychotic drugs in low dose as the behavioral disturbance is severe at present.
But the appropriate treatment is behaviour therapy and parental training to handle such child. meet a nearest child psychologist for this. I may tell you that the management is very difficult but possible.
Thanks.
