Hello
Welcome to HCM
The symptoms you have mentioned like thoughts of having power, belief that he has been married to a girl and has a child also or simple delusion, suspiciousness etc commonly occur in Psychotic Disorders. As he is just 22 so most likely either he is in prodrome or he is having full blown Schizophrenia. I need some more details of symptoms to clearly delineate the exact diagnosis. The drug resperidone is very effective in controlling the psychotic symptoms but the side effects like sedation, movements in body, tremors and in his case excessive salivation are really bothersome. I would advise you to consult his psychiatrist regarding the side effects especially salivation. Medicines like THP can effectively control the symptoms.
The disease can be controlled easily with proper drug therapy and family support.
Hope this helps you, thanks
