The most likely diagnosis  Phencyclidine intoxication

Reason :

Some of the hallmarks of a substance-induced problem are the presence of aggressive behavior involving fighting, vertical or horizontal nystagmus, agitation, impaired judgment, and impaired social or occupational functioning. Hallucinations may be present, but they are not always; if hallucinations are present, the patient usually knows that they are substance-induced. In this case, the patient did not report a feeling of paranoia. There is no basis for a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, and there is no evidence of psychosis. A careful history should include an inquiry regarding any substances used.

What is Psychotic disorder ?

Drug-induced psychosis, also known as substance-induced psychotic disorder, is simply any psychotic episode that is related to the abuse of an intoxicant. This can occur from taking too much of a certain drug, having an adverse reaction after mixing substances, during withdrawal from a drug, or if the individual has underlying mental health issues.

Antisocial personality disorder :

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others. The diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is not given to individuals under the age of 18 but is given only if there is a history of some symptoms of conduct disorder before age 15.

Brief Psychotic Disorder has a sudden onset of at least one psychotic symptom ( delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior). The psychotic symptoms last less than 1 month and are followed by a full recovery.

Schizophrenia :

Schizophrenia is characterized by some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.

The correct answer is phencyclidine intoxication.

How do religious organizations offer support to victims of human right violations​
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Most importantly, religions provide the essential sources and scales of dignity and responsibility, shame and respect, restraint and regret, restitution and reconciliation that a human rights regime needs to survive and flourish in any culture. In the human rights mission, religion has played its part right from the start in two ways. First, freedom of worship (or non worship) is one of the fundamental human freedoms. ... Secondly, religion, with all that belongs to it, i.e. beliefs as well as institutions, also falls under the universal norms.

In the deep ocean layers where the sunlight does not reach, these organisms ______________ use sulfides from the hydrothermal ve
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

In the deep ocean layers where the sunlight does not reach, these organisms that are chemoautotrophic use sulfides from the hydrothermal vents to perform chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Chemoautotrophic organisms are the ones that are adapted to the absence of sunlight. Such organisms identify electron donors in their vicinity and derive energy from the oxidation reactions that these electron donors (mostly, inorganic compounds) undergo.

The major reason for the development of such a trait in these organisms is the depth that they live at. On deep-sea floors, there is an abundance of sulfides. Thus, the organisms living on there make use of the sulfides to fix carbon and obtain energy the required energy to sustain.

The process of chemosynthesis occurring on deep-sea floors due to the presence of carbon, sulfides, and oxygen culminates in the production of organic materials as an end result which the organisms feed on and sustain even when there is no sunlight available. These organisms majorly belong to the bacteria species called Archaea and Extremophiles.
