So a kid got beat up. What does he need a psychiatrist for?
Well, Elliot was caught peeping on girls in the shower at school.
Oh, my god.
Wait 'till I get him home.
But much more troubling are some violent impulses that, so far, he hasn't acted upon.
And there is something we can do.
Elliot wants us to give him a medication that would turn off his testosterone. This would significantly decrease his sex drive and make it much easier for him to control these impulses, but we do need your permission to do it.
"Turn off his testosterone"? What exactly are you talking about?
The medical term is chemical castration.
What?
It's completely reversible. The idea would be to combine it with traditional therapy with the hope of ultimately weaning him off the medication.
No. No way.
Elliot could very well be on the verge of acting out on some very disturbing impulses, including rape.
He would never do anything like that.
You people are sick.
Again, this was your son's idea.
Elliot is torn up about this. He's scared he may not be able to stop himself.
