Strange behaviour
My father is 64 yrs old. From last 3 days he is behaving abnormally. He would not sleep at all. At night he would wake up and say somebody is knocking the door and talk wierd. Somebody is trying to make him crazy. He would not go out of the home. He keeps himself confined to his room. We are not able to understand that all of a sudden what happened to him. He is a chain smoker.
