What Causes Sleeplessness, Irritation And Weird Behaviour?
My dad is 58 years old suffering from thyroid and blood pressure. Recently he has started acting weird. He only sleeps 2.5 hrs. Gets irritated very fast. Dont listen to family members, takes up fight with people around. He drinks whole day, takes off early from home and then engage in unusual activities like painting our water tank, wearing gown whole day. misbehave with girls and abuse people around. When he is asked to give up what he does he says that he will lit the house on fire. He even collects rubbish plants and herbs and claim that they are great medicines. We are taking him to Gwalior. Can you suggest a good doctor over there. He is a smoker too and these atacks have been there in the past too. Please suggest.

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.
From the available description it appears that you your father is suffering from late onset psychosis or fronto temporal dementia considering her change in behavior and personality in recent years. Although it is not advisable to tell a name of doctor or a hospital I request you to see a psychiatrist who are generally better equipped in dealing such cases. I assure you that with timely treatment much can be done for your father's recovery.
