Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, he had acute psychotic episode. In that case, he can try long acting injection like risperodone or haloperidol or paliperidone etc, if he does not want to take medicine or you have doubt about his compliance. You can take advise of a psychiatrist for such injection. In case, he needs further help, you can ask.
Thanks
