HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern given history is suggestive of psychiatric case, and may need some antipsychiatric drugs or counselling and for that he needs consultation with some psychiatrist, but I would suggest to have a opinion form physician too to rule out the systemic disease, your father would be in a need of some tests, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
