HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS


The patient was in his usual state of health 3 years back, when he was involved in
an ongoing property dispute with his cousin and the matter was subjudice since
2009. After a long drawn court battle, he was hopeful that the case will go in his
way but unfortunately it went the other side. After that the family noticed some
changes in his behaviour evolving over a period of 2-3 weeks. He began interacting
less with family members and when he was asked about this, he did not provide
any reason for this. On some occasions, the family noticed that he used to get
restless, pacing around the house and need to go outside aimlessly and returned
within quick time .There were a few episodes of crying as well during night. He
started skipping prayers especially early morning ones which was not the case
earlier when he used to wake up early and then go to mosque for offering prayers.
He stopped taking part in family discussions and when he was asked to provide an
opinion about some financial matters of the family, he used to hesitate and
appeared to doubt himself while earlier he used to actively participate in family
discussions and was usually the go-to person whom every member of the family
sought advice from. Before he used to be very active nut now he has no interest in
anything .He became silent completely.
According to the attendant, the patient develops the complaint about being
restless, he used to suspect neighbours that they will take away his property, he
became suspicious about neighbours, he start laughing with himself and does not
interact with people. He start talking to himself. According to the informant, the
patient was overthinking and giving odd postures while walking outside. He used
to get angry when he sees his cousin and his sons he gets so irritated, but he could
not express his anger and cannot express his feelings. According to the attendant

to pray and changing his position while being in sajda, he goes backward in sajda.
He keep thinking and when asked about what he is thinking, he won’t respond and
will keep staring at the person continuously in the same posture. The attendant
also make complaint about the patient that he suddenly runs away while sitting in
family , they had family business of apple orchards ,he used to sit there and
suddenly feels irritated and runs away and returned within quick time. The patient
becomes suspicious about neighbours and even fought with one of them over the
issue. Though the family repeatedly tried to convince him that the neighbours
have not occupied the land, and it is there as it was since long, he didn’t budge
and was firm in his belief. After a few weeks had passed, the family now noticed a
weird thing about him. He became completely silent, did not respond to anything,
used to remain still, staring at the wall continuously for 10-20 minutes at a stretch.
This prompted the family to seek a psychiatric consultation [in Oct]. He was put on
medication and there was significant improvement in his symptoms. He started
talking and interacting with his family members, started praying regularly even
going to the mosque, actively participated in family discussions, started going to
the orchards again and worked there and even the suspiciousness was also gone.
