Hi there,
Detailed medical and psychological history is always needed in any case.
A MSE is also needed to come for the final diagnosis and management accordingly.
I hope what you have mentioned is that the patient went outside after six months and stopped again.
Next Steps
I hope he was put on medications and responded.
Health Tips
Please continue the treatment under the supervision of a mental health professional.
He will also need psychological interventions.
It takes time for the symptoms to subside.
Any small positive step taken by the patient should be praised.
Don’t force him to do anything but with polite persuasion and encouragement.
Do discuss your thoughts with the mental health professional.
