The most important thing to consider is that this person needs help and understanding. When addressing any behavior issues it is important to maintain a calm, loving approach and communicate in a direct manner. Setting goals together, with realistic deadlines, can be beneficial for both parties while providing accountability without being too punishing or judgmental. Most importantly, always stay supportive and never afraid to seek professional help if necessary.

It is natural to feel unsure of how to approach the situation; however, it is important to remember that your family member deserves your love and support and should be treated with sensitivity. Begin by researching the disorder and gaining insight into possible triggers that may lead to aggressive behavior. Then, use this understanding, coupled with compassion, when talking to them about their behavior. Make sure there is a consistent structure in place in terms of boundaries and expectations but avoid making accusatory statements or using authoritative language as this can put them on the defensive. Lastly, let your family member know that they are still loved no matter what and make sure you practice self-care as some situations can be stressful.
