HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If he is having delusions and episodes of paranoia, it may be best for him to consult a psychiatrist for evaluation.
The doctor would rule out an organic cause for his symptoms such as : (1)any lesion to the brain as a result of his fall (2) electrolyte disturbance
(3)infection
(4)low blood sugars
(5)side effect of medication
(6)dehydration

If any of these are present, appropriate treatment would be started.

If none of these are present then a psychiatric assessment of his mental status would be done and psychiatric medication would be needed.

I hope this helps
