CASE: Disruptive Behavioral Disorder + Childhood Onset Alopecia Areata
Dr. Jawahar Shah, India
A child of 8 yrs was brought to me for hair loss since 7-8 months. He also had eruptions on the head which were better by hot bath. When the child was bought to the clinic, he appeared to be very mild and very well behaved in our presence.
On interviewing the case in details, few interesting facts were revealed..This child would derive a lot of pleasure by killing lizards, chameleons, and other animals. He would tie them with strings and hang them on the door. He would catch insects and throw them on his friends. This act would give him a lot of happiness. The child was not scared of anything. He likes people, mixes with everyone easily but does not get along well with his brother. It was quite interesting to observe this child, who was very mild and gentle in the clinic but was destructive & cruel, when he was left to himself.
It was evident from this behavior that the child had a dual personality. Prescription: Anacardium 200K.
