Hello there. I can understand your concern. Yes his condition can be managed. But we would need to examine him and take a detailed history. Give him a tab. Health OK once a day after food for a month. And take him to a psychiatrist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
