    The patient has a family history of hallucinations and delusions. He exhibited repetitive behaviors from a young age and experienced trauma due to his father's death. Brain imaging found changes in areas related to behavior, cognition, and mood including decreased volume in limbic structures and temporal lobes as well as enlarged ventricles and cortical atrophy. Neurochemical testing also showed changes in neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate that are implicated in conditions involving behavioral and cognitive symptoms.
