responded well to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
and there is no history of psychosis in the past. He now presents
with confusion, agitation, irritability, and tries to remove his
IV lines. His level of consciousness fluctuates, and at times he
forgets who he is. He is given a neuroleptic drug, and appears
