What is the ruling regarding an adult son who curses his father with death, screams in the faces of his parents, uses abusive language, and disrespects his family when they forbid him from something, knowing that he is a believer, performs prayers and fasts, and takes medication for a previous psychological illness? Is this considered disobedience to parents (ʿUqūq)? And how can he control his anger?

A son must obey his parents and not scold them or supplicate against them. He must control his anger and cure himself of the quick temper that affects his dealings with others. He is advised to make supplication, sit down when angry, remain silent, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and seek treatment for his outbursts from those with expertise.
