| Popis: | This case report describes the therapeutic trajectory of a 47-year-old male ultra football fan from Switzerland, who was diagnosed and treated for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, together with comorbid alcohol misuse and insomnia. Prior to this episode of care, the patient exhibited symptoms of impulsivity and inattention and persistent patterns of harmful alcohol consumption, recurrently participating in football-related violence. A multimodal approach involving psychotherapy and psychopharmacology yielded notable improvements in symptom management. To date, the patient has shown improved psychosocial functioning, reporting a significant reduction in alcohol use and the cessation of all aggressive acts. Consequently, this case provides insights into the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and football-related violence, underlining the potential for tailored mental health interventions to enhance overall quality of life. |
