Psychiatrist,  's  Response
The problem you mention is a really important issue. It could be dangerous for him or other people if he thinks that anybody is ordering him something because he may act on those commands. This problem is defined probably as psychosis and first episode of psychosis should be investigated for many things like hormonal problems, like hypothyroidism or adrenal gland dysfunction and also some blood work to see if there is some medical problem (like hypercalcemia) which is showing itself in this shape. If all the possible medical problems are ruled out, he should take an antipsychotic mediction, not just merely sleeping pills and the symptoms will subside.
