A 30-year-old man is brought to the emergency department after exhibiting bizarre and dangerous behavior. For at least 1 year, he experienced delusions and auditory hallucinations. The hallucinations consist of several voices commenting on the patient’s behavior and giving him commands. He became socially isolated and dysfunctional because of these symptoms. He denies current drug use or medical problems. A mental status examination shows several abnormalities. Disturbances in grooming, hygiene, and behavior (paranoia) are noted, and he has a flat affect. His thought processes are occasionally loose, and he reports auditory hallucinations and delusions.
