the patient might be on a medication on anti depression drugs. which might even cause hallucinations to him. you need to control and talk peacefully with the patient. direct the patient to some exercise regimen which will him eleviate his mood for further things. he might cope well and the uti infection can also be avoided. sometimes it's a hand full of touch is needed than always a medication.
