Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello,
I understand that you are quite distressed about your elderly father's aggressive behaviour. Now, this kind of a sudden aggressive behaviour can be due to a variety of causes - like late onset psychosis, delirium, etc. It is very important that he has a proper evaluation in order to find out the cause of his symptoms. Only if the correct cause is identified, further treatment can be advised.

So, I would suggest that you take him to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
