My 42 year old son has become delusional in the past few days. He is an alcholic but this is different. He claims he has been talking with God and God is making him do things ie posting crazy things on social media. I am afraid of what he might do to himself or others. Can I have him committed? He hasn t actually done anything dangerous ....yet.
Hi. I understand your concern. Delusional disorder has many types.  In your query it is like delusion of control but require detail evaluation of its content of thought. Alcohol also can lead to psychotic illness in which delusion is prominent. But require differential diagnosis other than alcohol induce. Cut down of daily alcohol habit may help.Anti-psychotic medicines will help to control delusional thoughts. Consult psychiatrist and get help. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Thank you.
