One week in

Rohan, 19, was brought to a college counsellor seven days ago after suddenly telling his roommates that his classmates were plotting against him and that he could hear them discussing the plot through the walls. He appears frightened and behaves erratically. This is the first time anything like this has happened. No further history is available at this point: nothing is yet known about substance use, medical history, family history, or how the presentation may change over the coming weeks.

Based on seven days of symptoms alone, what is the best classification decision?
