The mental health practitioner is most likely to treat him with a ntipsychotic medication.

This type of medication is used to treat psychotic disorders which people may suffer from when they are experiencing delusions, paranoia, hallucinations, or disordered thought. Garret is probably suffering from schizophrenia, which is why he needs to take these medications so as to relieve the symptoms.
