Jonathan is a 19-year-old psychology major at a community college. For over a year his family and friends have noticed increasingly bizarre behaviors, starting with him having unusual thoughts about conspiracy theories. Then, during his grandmother's funeral, he sat and smiled throughout the service. For the past six months, his parents have occasionally caught him looking at the empty corner and yelling, "Get out of here!" in an agitated voice. He has refused to answer or make calls on his cell phone, claiming that if he does it will activate a deadly chip that was implanted in his brain by evil aliens. On several occasions, he accused his parents of conspiring with the aliens to have him killed so they can remove his brain and put it inside one of their own. He eventually stopped attending classes and no longer talks to his friends. His parents tried to get him to go see a psychiatrist but he refused. He spends most of his time alone in his room. After several occasions of noticing that he was unkempt and reeked of body odor, his mother asked him when he had last showered and he replied, "Shower? Yes, I like the April showers when it rains, the king reigns supreme." Then, he stopped eating because he thought his parents were trying to poison him and sat motionless and mute for two days. His parents finally forced him to check into the hospital for an evaluation. Jonathan has never been known to use alcohol or drugs.
