Sounds like a child who was molested by his father. Looks like a normal kid - he lived with the molestation until middle school when he started puberty. At this point in his life, it seems that he began to have a hormonal problem. The hormonal imbalance should have been taken care of in middle school. Because the parents did not know what to do with him, the boy was let to run rampant. Then the boy could not bear the feelings that he was having, so he started using drugs to placate himself. These drugs are what was causing the auditory hallucinations, and the overage of testosterone in his body caused the violence. What he meant by "never again" was that his father could no longer molest him.

Write the essay as a case learn and then grant the diagnoses once you have given the character a attractiveness and a background. Auditory hallucinations = schizophrenia to three degree. Killed his father = Intermittent Explosive sickness or? Slob = Apathetic (melancholy, possibly) won't be able to hold a woman chum = possibly he's impotent... An essay on analyzing a nut interest....sure, that is an unprofessional way of asserting it (some thing he might say to close pals yet to not a school room). right this is a few case background examples:

You don't seem to understand how this site works.

You need to submit one question, with all the details in that one place -- people are looking at lots of different questions.

Boil the story down to essentials and give them.

Sounds like he's developing schizophrenia (sp?) -- there are meds, from the hallucinations, though it might have been a child abuse case (I haven't seen the other pieces of this, just this one).

May God have mercy on all of us !! That's just given me goose bumps all over ..................... geez, I can feel this poor kids pain .............. sounds to me like his father was extremely violent and abusive toward him, and probably more so his mother, his whole life. When you say that he constantly expected his mother to back him up when he was arguing and screaming at his father, that sounds like there was some sort of a special bond going on there. You know, like team work. He was used to backing her up, probably deflecting physical abuse for her, and was probably used to her coming to his defence as well. OMG, this is just sooooo sad, the poor kid just reached the end of his tether and couldn't take the overpowering nature and iron fisted violence of his father. He probably resorted to alcohol to escape all the trauma and pressure he was constantly exposed to. Alcohol of course only makes things worse as you've discovered and in extreme situations as this one, he now probably has alcohol induced pschycosis ................... my little heart is breaking, just such a rotten waste of wot his life could have been if his father had been more of a decent human being ...................... :0)

My relative experience is that I was diagnosed with bipolar/schizophrenia 5 years ago but made a rapid slide into severe alcohol abuse before I was diagnosed. Saved by the skin of my teeth, I was one of the lucky ones !! You see, failing proper diagnosis, or somebody at least noticing the warning signals for mental illness in a person, alcohol is a brilliant remedy for silencing the brain chatter and voices.

PEACE

PEACE & LIGHT

EDIT ******* Please, can't you think of another word for him??? "Nut Job"??? Sounds so callous ........... How bout socially challenged ............. after all, we all have our crosses to bear ...................... :0)**********

Oh my! Sounds like your run of the mill psychopath. He needs to be locked up and heavily drugged and throw away the key. Its types like him that snap and kill lots of people and have no recollection of even doing it.
