HelloYour father is suffering from suspiciousness...he has delusions that people are after him to harm him. this is the most commonn form of spiciousness seen in daily clinical practice.It is strange and annoying that such a case is not understood and treated for si long despite increasing awareness amongst eductaed families.I usually give respieridone 1mg at night in the begining and later may need to increase to 4-6mg. This sometimes gives sedation for initail few days, but it gets better within few days.Hope the reply is useful for you.Please take steps towrads his treatment, it will be best to take him to a psychiatrist in person. Also get his blood test done. He will surely improve with right treatment.Good luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Psychiatry
