Can anyone suggest a way or ways to approach this situation: A 78 y.o man was given 3 spinal injections of steroid(sorry, don't know which one; it was for arthritis) over about a month's time, ending early May.
The last 2 or three weeks(late May, early June) he has been cycling in and out of delusional and combative states . His glucose levels are way abnormal and he has lost weight(yes he is diabetic as well).Psych drugs are reported not to be working or possibly making him worse(possibly clozapine).
Any suggestions on how to approach this, what might be done would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Harold
