“Why does my son punch doors when he's angry?”

I would discuss this with your primary care provider and/or his pediatrician and most importantly his psychiatrist (if he doesn’t have one, he needs one). Depending on his age, he could be in the beginning of a schizophreniform or a schizophrenic type of disease. And it’s treatable early without problems. That is my recommendation and suggestion. I wish you well and safety of the upmost importance. Sometimes a little bad needs to happen for something good to occur. And bad is not intended for you to be hurt, if he gets put away for his behavior activities and actions, he would be screened appropriately, he will be tested appropriately, and then be put into the appropriate type of program. Pending drugs, psychiatric, alcohol, or both, I meant all three.
Thank you for requesting my opinion suggestion and recommendation, I wish you and your son nothing but health and happiness.

Be well,

Hi, I would seek a psychology evaluation.

There are a lot of potential reasons for this acting out behavior. This could be from his inability to regulate other emotions, such as anxiety, or his possible exposure to outbursts through family or social circles.

It is best not to try and process his behavior while he is escalated. Give him space and approach him when he is calmer to discuss any other feelings that might be hiding behind the anger.

Therapy is a great tool to help adolescents learn how to express themselves in a more healthy way, so I would recommend seeking out local mental health providers or organizations in your area.
