Mark is having a host of problems. He constantly complains that the people at work want to poison him and get him fired. He gets suspicious very easily and thinks the worse about situations. Most times he is by himself because he does not have any interest in being around persons. He does not have the normal feelings like other persons. Sometimes he is lying on the bed and he hears the pillow telling him that people are coming to hurt him. When he hears the voice he would get up and walk around the house until the voice leaves. Sometimes when the radio is on and the radio announcer is talking about the covid vaccine. He thinks the radio announcer is talking directly to him and he would shout, “My body, My choice, Leave me the hell alone.!” He would lie on the bed and close his eyes and feel his body go dead and then he would think that he is dead. Recently when he talks he doesn’t have much to say. The content of his speech is limited. Mark usually gets pleasure from looking at naked girls but lately he does not find any pleasure in anything.
