Hello Dear,
I can empathize with you...Your father being a doctor himself helped so many and now he requires it...I advise you to talk to a family physician to persuade him about visit to a Psychiatrist..Also you can discuss with any Psychiatrist for Home visit...That will help..kindly don't waste time to counsel him if his behavior continues and take help of a Professional...It could be Dementia, Late onset Psychosis?..But first get a Consultation done..
Regards
