Ishaan Williams, a 15-year-old from a suburban neighborhood, had always been a quiet child until his parents' divorce two years ago. Since then, he had been living with his mother, who worked long hours. Ishaan's symptoms began with frequent school suspensions for fighting, vandalizing school property, and cruel bullying of younger students. He had stolen from local stores and once set a small fire in a dumpster behind his apartment building. His mother, overwhelmed and heartbroken, was recommended by the school counselor to seek a psychological evaluation. The psychologist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed Ishaan with Conduct Disorder and recommended a multi-faceted treatment plan including weekly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions, family therapy to improve communication and support at home, and a social skills group for teens. The treatment experience was challenging; Ishaan was initially hostile and dismissive. Over months, through consistent, non-judgmental therapy, he began to explore the anger and sadness he felt about his family's breakdown. He learned to identify triggers for his aggression and practice alternative responses. Post-treatment, after 18 months, Ishaan's school suspensions ceased, he made a few positive friendships, and he began working part-time at a community center. While not without setbacks, his path was markedly different. Emotionally, he journeyed from a place of deep-seated rage and isolation to one of guarded hope, developing a fragile sense of self-worth and accountability.
