Suggest Treatment For Mental Illness

Hello, My friends dad has been suffering from abnormal mental condition for more than 2 weeks now. He is 57 years old, 165cms in height and around 80 Kg in weight. He has not had any such condition before. He has a very strong feeling of some one coming to hurt him. He also hears illusional voices of others trying to harm him. He is refusing to go to a doctor as well. Pls help

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description, it seems that your friend's father is troubled with acute depression / schizophrenia. Only a nearby physician or psychiatrist should treat him based on his symptoms. Online treatment may become a bit risky. Please consult a physician / psychiatrist.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
