Hey
This needs proper psychiatric evaluation soon. Sudden leaving home, saying God is calling him, not eating, poor hygiene, and change in behaviour can happen in conditions like psychosis, mania, severe stress reaction, or other mental health episodes. Even if he talks normally at times, these symptoms should not be ignored. Please avoid arguing about his beliefs or forcing logic right now. Stay calm, keep someone with him, ensure food, water and safety, and take him to a psychiatrist or nearest mental health hospital as early as possible. Early treatment often helps a lot. If he becomes aggressive, confused, refuses all food, or tries to leave again, seek urgent emergency help immediately. For therapy contact nine two six six seven two six zero six five

What you are describing maybe schizophrenia. Proper treatment early in this stage can actually help a lot. It's a chronic illness but is completely treatable with proper medication and therapy support. I provide online consultation and therapy support you can contact me directly on nine eight two six five four five six six zero for a detailed evaluation and management.
