Dear Anne,
I would recommend when your son is calm to get him to try and draw or write what makes him angry. This will be an insight for you both. Maybe put a structure in place that he knows will happen when he loses his temper.
You need to make sure no one gets hurt. So maybe tell him that when his anger comes he will be put in a certain room(that is safe), for a set time, then mum will come in and remind him he is loved. If he is still angry he will be left again, then mum will come in again.
I just wonder if this programming of his mind will help because it involves set boundaries.
He may also feel misunderstood and hate who he has become. Try and draw this out of him so you are on the same page. Get him to keep a progress diary too. Make it fun with stickers and a chart so he can start to feel proud of himself and not a failure as an angry son.
I do not talk about myself in other peoples threads but in this instance, you may like to know that in my brain my anger is always triggered from others not understanding me. It becomes violent and unreasonable but is always triggered by the same thing.
Good luck to you and your family.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
