[|AI|]  Hello user, I understand your concern. The symptoms that you have told indicate about abnormal behavior, but detailed evaluation is needed before putting a diagnosis ahead - as you mentioned that he is having symptoms of bipolar and schizophrenia (however it needs detailed evaluation by professional, as symptoms lists can be deceptive and overlapping. One more thing that taking bath for long, slowness in activities can also be part of obsessive compulsive disorder. all in all now a formal diagnostic evaluation is needed by a psychiatrist, and you have to pursue your son for that - you can take help of his batch mate or relative like cousins, whoever is close to him - tell him that you are suggesting for his own good and that doctors can help. If he still refuses and persist to have abnormal behavior you can take help of local mental health authorities, who will decide his suitability for involuntary admission and treatment as per the local law. Take care
