Could the strange, anti social behaviour, lack of interaction, being detached show possible psychosis?
Patient: my brother seems to go through a phaze of possible psychosis , he wont eat for days sometimes , and has a mysterious personality as far as being introverted goes , but it now seems he has found christianity. there is nothing wrong with religion, and the fact he got into it but , he has become detached , anti social ,very strange behavior. he is only 20 and he seems as if he losing touch with reality , he wont sleep or anything , he just reads the bible day and night writing notes,he sits outside for hours in the cold repeating chants over and over for hours, then only interacts with family only a little bit. he looks like nothing but and empty vessel...it hurts my heart because me and the rest of my family know the old him and hes no longer there.
