What Causes Behavioral Problems?

Several life events and family situations may contribute to problem behavior. Conflict within the family, economic struggles, anxiety, or experiences like the loss of a loved one can act as triggers. Additionally, aging can introduce challenges such as dementia, profoundly influencing an individual's behavior.
