Experimental: The intervention group (group A) DBT skills
Will attend Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills group for both the children and their parents, DBT is an evidence based comprehensive cognitive behavioral treatment for complex mental disorders and have been adapted for intractable behavioral disorders involving emotion dysregulation, skills will be provided in group therapy as fixed weekly sessions over 9-month duration for all the children and the parents in group A including:
|
Our hypothesis is that impulsive aggression as evidenced by inflammatory biomarkers might improve by targeting executive dysfunctions with Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills modules directed to the children and their parents in the form of response inhibition dysfunctions with Dialectical Behavioural Therapy mindfulness and distress tolerance skills modules, emotion regulation executive dysfunctions with Dialectical Behavioural Therapy emotion regulation skills module and socioenvironmental factors with interpersonal effectiveness and walking the middle path Dialectical behavioural therapy skills modules.
|
Active Comparator: the control group (group B)
Will receive psychoeducation and medications targeting ADHD symptoms (stimulants or atomoxetine according to FDA approved dose per age and weight) according to the international guidelines for management of ADHD according to symptom severity, given that assessment before and after intervention will be done by different medical personnel than those providing the intervention for the two groups.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Impulsive aggression severity
Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 12 month
|
Using Modified overt aggression scale ,This scale rates the patient's aggressive behavior regarding four types of aggression (verbal, against objects, against self, against others) to give a total MOAS score about the patient's aggressive behavior.
Each type of aggression had a rating of 0 when aggression was absent and four levels of severity.
Weighted scores are then added together to yield the total score.
