Hello,
I think he may consult his neurologist to change his psychotic drugs to stabilise the situation.
He also nay need to do urodynamic test which is used to measure nerve and muscle function, pressure around and in the bladder, flow rates, and other factors.
These tests look at how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra are storing and releasing urine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
