Hello,
In my opinion, these are features of a breakdown where there is loss of contact with reality. Hence, he needs to be assessed for drugs in urine.
Blood investigations and sleep disturbance is part of the breakdown. Anti-psychotics would be beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
