Your father is suffering from psychotic symptoms, schizophrenia like. Usually if the symptoms occur late in life the outcome is good. For some people a course of symptoms will lead to total remission and the medications can be stopped. But for majority on reducing medicines the symptoms recur, hence have to be continued for many years under the supervision of a psychiatrist. Good luck.
