Religious Delusion

SCENARIO:Johnny, 27 years old, unemployed, was brought by a relative in the ZCMC for consultation. Relative narrates that client woke up early in the morning of February 08, 2016, seemingly not in his usual self – client, looked neat and well-groomed instead of his usual messy appearance, and began speaking words of God. Three days prior to consultation , client broke up with his 3-year girlfriend and has been depressed since then. Client was involved in abuse of drugs and tobacco smoking as shown in his health history. Accordingly, client was not religiously active and curses a lot which prompted the relative to seek for medical attention.
