Brief Answer:
Your father appear suspicious.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query on HCM,
From the detailed information you provided it appear that your father had developed some delusions. Delusions are false, firm and unshakable belief.
Delusions do not change with counseling or by showing any kind of proof to patient. Developing delusions are not uncommon after neurological problems, like stroke in the case of your father.
You can meet me in XXXXXXX for his treatment, as delusions shows good response to treatment with antipsychotics.
Take care
