Hallucinations and Delusional Thoughts
Our father has been suffering from hallucinations and delusional thoughts for several years. Now, it has reached its peak, with him talking to someone he claims is "Alice."
He has been having full conversations with her, waking up with remarks like, "Wow! That's weird,"
"Hello?!?, who's there?,"
and "Wow, wow, wow."
He believes he sees demons and thinks that we are possessed by satanic monsters.
While his behavior is typically harmless, it has led him to threaten and scare the neighbors he used to be friends with, causing them to sell their house. He has accused them of sneaking into the house and stealing an imaginary box of money from under his bed. Our father has been observed sitting outside, staring at the neighbors' house and glaring for hours each day. He has also vandalized the neighbors' vehicles in an effort to prevent them from parking next to the house.
The neighbor asked if our father has any guns due to the discomfort they feel with his current behavior.
