Suggest treatment for delusional disorder
Patient: hi,  my son seems to have the delusion that he is an extra-terrestrial acting through my son,s earthly bodywith the purpose of helping mankind to higher levels.  He has a history of drug taking but has recently become obsessive with health and raw food. He has difficulties being among people, especially it seems among those who woulld threaten his beliefs. He has recently moved in with me in the remote countryside. . cutting himself off from many friends; although he still visits family members and those close to him.  He is becoming more critical of me with accusations he has lately written down in the form of letters to me. He is 26 and unemployed and has alot of freedom to spend his time writing a fantasy novel, meditating and preparing his raw food recipes.                                               There is obviosly no way I could even suggest a treatment option as he sees himselfaloof and beyond my advice, and would,nt contemplate the idea that he was 'ill'.                           Is there anything I can do to help him, other than simply being around for him ?                                                                                                     Andrew Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Instead of suggesting he does not have any super human abilities, suggest he has some and be with him. That is the way you should have followed in the first hand itself. Also try to get hold of some people around him to agree with him on some points which are not harmful to anyone. Gain his trust and then we can go further in the treatment. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.
