<s>[INST] hi please help. My son is 21 years old and suffers from anxiety and depression. However, in the last couple of days, he started having strange paranoia saying that we are (my husband and I) undercover cops out to get him. He has not been able to sleep and keeps staring out the window with binoculars saying that the neighbors are also after him. He is scaring me and my daughter and we don t know what to do. He is refusing medical help, but we can t keep him home because we are afraid he may hurt us. What can I do? [/INST] Thanks for putting up your query on Chat Doctor. Your son seems to be suffering from psychosis as he is getting suspicious about neighbors and his family without any reason. You should visit local psychiatrist and get him admitted where he will get required medications. There is also option of colorless and odorless medication available which can be mixed with food if patient is not ready to take medications. </s>
