[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744567, member: 18958"] I'm sorry you are in this tough circumstance. But welcome. I did a google search and all of these symptoms and behaviors you cite have been linked to video game addiction; anger, emotional dysregulation, social anxiety, manipulation, stealing. I could see the soiling as related too if he gets so into the game he chooses to ignore the urge to go or prefers to soil rather than take a few minutes to go to the toilet. I would try not to get sucked into psychologists coming up with serious diagnoses to explsin behaviors related to addiction that can recede if the addiction is treated. I would focus on getting him treatment for that and see where you are then. To a large extent you control his access to gaming. Do you monitor or limit his use? I would not allow violent or bloody games.He should not be allowed to attack brother or anybody else. First I would find a therapist or program that specializes in this, as my priority. And worry less right now about potential other diagnoses. Take care. [/QUOTE]
