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.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

According to Karl Max, religion is the "opium of the masses or people" means that, religion, just like the opium, gives the masses or people the immediate antidote to the sufferings they are experiencing, and provided them with the idea that, they are actually not suffering, but rather enjoying the ways of the Lord, which gives them strength to carry on, even considering their poor and state of lack.

Max, however, concluded that Religion is has negative impacts, as it makes people who indulge in it from seeing the inequalities in class structures around them, which can prevent the necessary social response or revolution.

Hence, in relating to contemporary Ghanaian Christians, many of which believe that, suffering in this world, that is, their state of being poor and having poor standard of living, is a sacrifice to enjoy the reward in heaven. In their beliefs, to suffer, and be poor in this world, is one of the requirements to read the bounty fruits of heaven. While they also believe that, they are in this world to carry the "cross of Jesus" which implies to suffer with him, for his kingdom or experience the same level or equivalent of Jesus sufferings on the cross.

Therefore, Religion is the "opium" of the contemporary Ghanaian Christians, as it gives them strength to carry on, despite widespread inequalities in class structures in their society and corruption that is affecting their social economic status.
