Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. The symptoms like agitation, screaming episodes, abnormal behaviour etc can occur in ADHD but considering his age chances of ADD as new diagnosis are very less. His symptoms suggest that he has some components of bipolar disorder. In bipolar disorder individuals develop violent, aggressive episodes and they screams on other family member. He is not letting others to talk to you and this could also be one symptoms of bipolar disorder. I'd advise you to take him to a psychiatrist for help.
For his aggressive episodes medicines like mood stabilisers as Sodium Valproate, Lithium Carbonate can be used. These medicines will help to reduce the violent episodes. Some times low dose antipsychotics are used. These drugs also help to control the episodes. Please consult a doctor for prescription.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
