Psychiatry: Impulse Control and Conduct Disorders

Today's Case A 10-year-old boy presents to the clinic with his parents. They describe how he refuses to accept adult authority. He is easily annoyed and often loses his temper over small disappointments. The boy has already been suspended from school after hitting a teacher who was trying to restrain him when he refused to take a test and then ran out of the classroom and toward a busy street.
