CASE SCENARIOS

Karthik (Schizophrenia)

Name of Case: Karthik


Diagnosis: Chronic Schizophrenia Scenario
Activity: Mental status exam (MSE) video-based assessment tool

Initial visit (DAY 1): Karthik suffers from chronic schizophrenia, but currently is experiencing
minimal symptoms. He complains of a ‘noisy neighbor’ and asks the doctor to decrease his
medication, complaining that it makes him too tired. But states that “he is doing good overall.” It is
not readily apparent that there is anything substantially wrong with him – this could be a routine
concern over a neighbor.

DAY 2 (3 months later): Karthik states that “things are not as good as I would have hoped.” He has
a lot of “racing thoughts and can’t focus on anything.” He states that about a month ago he thought
someone was following him, but that he “is okay now.” Later in the conversation, he endorses
suspicion that his noisy neighbor is following him. These various symptoms (racing thoughts, lack of
concentration etc.) make the patient wonder if he should not have made medication changes after
all.

DAY 3 (4 months after initial visit): Karthik states that “everything has gotten worse since last
time.” He fears that his neighbor is poisoning his water supply (by accessing the water pipes in the
utility room of the building). The voices of his neighbor, and others, have gotten louder and are
bothering him more often (“all day and all night’’). These voices are telling him to jump off the roof.
He also complains of an inability to fall asleep and chronic shaking of his hand. Karthik regrets
lowering his medication.

symptoms, requests, expectations, etc.) He also mentions having a noisy neighbor, but does
that will become part of set agenda. not ask for any help regarding that problem. Other than
those complaints, he is experiencing minimal
symptoms and feels that he is doing well.
DAY 2: He complains of racing thoughts and a lack of
concentration. He is concerned that his noisy neighbor
is following him and wants to evict him from the
building. He wonders if he should not have made a
medication change.
DAY 3: Karthik worries that his neighbor is trying to
poison him. The voices he hears are becoming more
intense and frequent. They are telling him to jump off
the roof and are disturbing him. He regrets lowering his
medication.

THE PATIENT STORY: The conversation between Karthik and his doctor takes
place at an outpatient clinic over three
visits/appointments. During his first visit (baseline,
DAY 1), Karthik present with ‘minimal symptoms’; he is
cooperative and in a good mood. During the second
visit, three months later (DAY 2), Karthik experiences
an exacerbation of his disease, presenting as anxious
and suspicious (i.e.: ‘medium symptoms’). He has
subtle paranoid thoughts, not immediately apparent,
and no hallucinations. He is trying to hide his thoughts
and feelings and shares only part of what he is going
through. His third visit takes place a month later (DAY
3), with Karthik experiencing ‘severe symptoms’,
including overtly paranoid thoughts and hallucinations.

First Visit (baseline, DAY 1): Karthik arrives at his


doctor’s office and states that he is “doing pretty well.”
He is looking forward to having his bi-monthly dinner
with his family, but prefers “to avoid other people.”
Karthik is happy with his current job at the health store:
“I don’t have to interact with too many people. I can
just make sure everything is on the shelf.” He does
complain of a noisy neighbor, who he “hears at all
hours of the night.” He endorses having “mood swings
here and there,” but states that it is mainly due to his
“annoying neighbor.” Karthik feels “good overall,” but
does request to have the dosage of his medication

lowered. “It makes me so tired. It slows me down
during the day and I want to be at my best.” Overall,
Karthik displays a bit of a flat affect, his facial
movements are minimal and his blinking is reduced in
frequency, making his gaze seem like he is staring.
He also twirls his hair occasionally (slight mannerism).
Karthik is oriented to time and place, has insight into
his situation and has fair judgement.

DAY 2: Karthik arrives at his doctor’s office, 3 months


after their initial visit, and states that “things are not as
good as [he] would have hoped. They are worse than
last time.” He is disheveled (messy hair and dirty shirt),
displaying minimal eye contact, and psychomotor
retardation (his movements are slower than the first
visit). He complains of racing thoughts and an inability
to concentrate, which started “about a month ago.”
Karthik endorses suspicion that his neighbor is
following him around and trying to evict him from the
building: “My neighbor is still very annoying. I heard
him through the wall and I think he is trying to get rid of
me. I think he might be following me around.” The
therapist asks him why he thinks his neighbor is
following him and responds by saying that he saw his
neighbor standing over the staircase of their apartment
building, staring at him. He also endorses seeing his
neighbor at the store he works at, “right down the aisle
staring at me.” Moreover, Karthik thinks the neighbor is
spreading rumors about him. “He was talking to my
neighbor Marc and then the next day, Marc looked at
me like I did something wrong to him.” The therapist
than asks him again, “so you think he is following
you?” He responds, “it just makes sense.” Throughout
the conversation, Karthik has a prolonged latency to
response, decreased prosody and a general
delayed/slowed speech. During this visit, he expresses
paranoid delusions (i.e.: neighbor following him) and
ideas of reference (neighbor talking about him to other
tenants). Seeing his neighbor at his store and hearing
his neighbor through his walls can suggest auditory
and visual hallucinations. He is oriented to time and
place, but lacks insight into his situation.
DAY 3: Karthik arrives at his doctor’s office one month
after their last visit and states that “everything has
gotten worse since last time.” He arrives disheveled,
with messy hair and dirty clothing, wearing a wool hat
and sunglasses. When he is asked to take his
sunglasses off he responds, “are we alone here?” He
then looks around the room, as if he is suspicious of
his surroundings and is internally preoccupied. He
displays bradykinesia (slowness of movements;

latency to respond to questions) as well as akathisia
(involuntary movements, restlessness, discomfort in
his chair (i.e.: in being in ‘his own skin). Shortly after
he endorses fear that his neighbor is trying to poison
his water supply (by accessing the water pipes in the
utility room of the building). Throughout the
conversation he displays loose associations and
tangential speech, as well as at least one neologism:
“The utility room where the water pipes are is the
‘pupility’ room, not the popularity room.” Moreover,
Karthik’s auditory hallucinations become more frequent
and more disturbing. “Sometimes I can hear a lot of
them talking, sometimes all the way down in the
basement.” He begins to develop suicidal ideation,
hearing voices telling him to kill himself. “I’m hearing
voices all day. Sometimes they tell me to jump off the
roof, but I don’t do that.” His delusions of paranoia and
delusions of reference strengthen as well (he is now
fully convinced that his neighbor wants to kill him).
Karthik’s symptoms have become severe; he is no
longer in touch with reality.

not fair to her.” Robbin is worried that her inability to be happy makes her a bad mother. She also manifests
passive suicidal ideation, stating that she would not go through with it because of her daughter, but that she
has had “thoughts.”

happy makes her a bad mother. Robbin also endorses
passive suicidal ideation, stating that she would not go
through with it because of her daughter, but that she has
had “thoughts.”
DAY 3: Robbin’s only current complaint is that she needs
her current visit to wrap up because she needs to get back
to work. She has a lot of things to do and cannot be
bothered.

THE PATIENT STORY: The conversation between Robbin and her doctor takes
place at an outpatient clinic over three visits/appointments.
During her first visit (baseline, INITIAL VISIT), Robbin
presents mainly with ‘depressive symptoms’; she is
anhedonic, sad, and lacks motivation. She is prescribed an
SSRI and beings treatment. During the second visit, a few
weeks later (DAY 2), Robbin has a bit more energy, but
continues feeling anhedonic and sad. She now endorses
passive suicidal ideation. Her third visit takes place a few
weeks after her second visit (DAY 3), with Robbin
experiencing ‘manic symptoms’, including racing thoughts,
lack of need for sleep, and grandiosity.

First Visit (baseline, INITIAL VISIT): Robbin arrives at her


doctor’s office and is not engaging with her therapist; she is
slightly disheveled, wearing sweatpants and a hood over her
head, and is lacking eye contact). The therapist asks her
how she is feeling a few times before she finally responds,
stating that she is “constantly tired and sad,” sleeping 12 to
16 hours a day. When asked about what is making her sad,
she states her partner, Lucas, left a few weeks ago (i.e.:
they split up). Throughout the conversation she continues to
state that she is tired, displaying psychomotor retardation,
anhedonia, and a slow/delayed speech. She rarely expands
on the therapist’s questions, answering with a few words
each time. Robbin endorses missing work the last few days,
due to a lack of motivation and “feeling tired.” The therapist
then asks her if she has “any thoughts of harming herself.”
She denies any suicidality, stating that she “just misses her
[Lucas].” The therapist asks Robbin about her daughter:
“She is at home. She cooks for me and cuddles me in bed.”
The conversation abruptly ends here. Throughout the visit,
Robbin displays a constricted/flat affect, rarely opening up.
While it is not stated explicitly in the video, Robbin begins
taking an SSRI (Zoloft) after this visit.

DAY 2: Robbin arrives at her doctor’s office a few weeks


after their initial visit, and states that “[she’s] better and
going to work.” The therapist then asks, “you are going to
work, but how do you feel?” Robbin responds, “I am going
through the motions. I’m tired. I’m not sleeping as much as I
was, but I’m still tired.” While Robbin seems a bit distressed,
she is no longer disheveled, she is making good eye
contact, and seems to be a bit more conversational (i.e.: no
psychomotor retardation). Robbin then expands on what is
bothering her: “I am worried about Carla. I’m not doing what
I am supposed to be doing as a parent. It is not fair to her.

I’m just not right. I feel off. I miss having fun with my
daughter.” Robbin once again displays anhedonia and a
flat/constricted affect. Although she is going to work, she
worries that she will be fired. “They know about my
condition, but I am not sure how long they will put up with it.”
Later in the conversation she brings up her daughter again:
“I need to be mom and I don’t feel like mom.” The therapist
follows up by asking if “she has had any thoughts of hurting
herself.” “No, because of Carla. But I have thought a few
times of not being here because there is nothing here for
me.” Robbin is endorsing passive suicidal ideation, but has
her daughter as a protective factor. She goes on to say “It is
not fun. I’m saying that a lot. I just feel flat.” It has been a
few weeks since starting the SSRI, and while Robbin has
more energy to go work, she also seems to have more
energy to think more deeply about what has been bothering
her. Unlike her first visit (before the SSRI), she feels guilty
about being a bad mother and endorses suicidal ideation.
While the SSRI is making her more functional, it is also
putting her at greater risk of harming herself (i.e.: she has
the physical energy to do so).

DAY 3: Robbin arrives at her doctor’s office a few weeks


after their last visit and states emphatically that she “is
feeling great!” She is abnormally dressed (wearing a lot of
makeup, a bright multi-colored button-down shirt, a tie, and
colorful plastic hair clips in her hair). She also displays
abnormal eye contact, staring intensely at the therapist
throughout the conversation. After stating that she is doing
great, she right away gets agitated. “Yeah, yeah, let’s go! I
gotta get out of here. Let’s get out of here.” Throughout the
conversation she displays akathisia/psychomotor activation,
hoping to quickly finish the visit and head back to work. She
is very euphoric/manic and displays grandiose delusions:
“I’m a very important person. If you look up the word
attorney in the dictionary it shows my face and says the
most awesome attorney on the planet.” The therapist then
asks her if “she is going to go to work looking like that.” She
responds, “of course, I look fantastic. You know how great I
look!” Immediately after this response, Robbin gets agitated
and shouts “you’re aggravating me now because you asked
me this before!” Robbin’s mood is very labile throughout the
conversation, going from euphoric to agitated. She also
displays pressured speech, loosening of associations, and a
tangential/circumstantial thought process. During the
conversation she randomly interjects with off topic
comments: “Do you know GE has the best appliances. I use
ammonia on the floor, not the store bought stuff. It makes
the floors pristine.” Robbin also endorses a decreased need
for sleep and distractibility. “Sleep? Who needs sleep when
you are the #1 attorney in the world….oh yeah and the
cabinets.” As the conversation continues, Robbin begins to
be sexually inappropriate towards the therapist and gets too
physically close to him (abnormal physical proximity).
“You’re very nosy! But you’re really cute too, more cute than
nosy.” At this point, she is out of her chair and in his face.

The therapist kindly asks her to go back to her seat, stating
that “this is not appropriate.” Robbin listens and sits back
down, but then continues with her mood lability,
distractibility, and sexual inappropriateness: “You’re pissing
me off, but you’re awfully cute in those cute littles shoes.
What are you doing tonight? Take me out for a drink and I’ll
forget all the things you are not doing right Doc!... I need to
make steak tonight.” It seems as though the SSRI caused
Robbin to switch into mania. The therapist needs to decide
what he will do next (i.e.: stop the SSRI, possible
hospitalization).
Attitude (what does the patient think is the INITIAL VISIT: Robbin feels sad, depressed, and tired since
problem, and how does he/she feel about it) her partner left. She seems to attribute some of the way she
feels towards this external stressor, but she does not open
up/express much during the visit.
DAY 2: Unlike in her initial visit, Robbin seems a bit more
curious and contemplative regarding the issues that are
causing her depression. While she is still sad over her
partner leaving, she also wonders if she is a good mom and
how her depression is affecting her daughter. She is also
more expressive about her anhedonia, stating that she is
“just going through the motions.” She even endorses
passive suicidal ideation during this visit. It seems as though
Robbin is more aware of her depressed feelings and where
they may be coming from.
DAY 3: Robbin’s only current complaint is that she needs
her current visit to wrap up because she needs to get back
to work. She has a lot of things to do and cannot be
bothered. From a clinician’s point of view, she has switched
into mania (possibly due to the SSRIs), which began after
her last visit (a few weeks ago). She does endorse racing
thoughts and a decreased need for sleep, but thinks she is
“doing great.”

Ben (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

Name of Case: Ben


Clinical Diagnosis: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Scenario
Activity: Mental status exam (MSE) video-based assessment tool

Chief Complaint: At his initial visit (INITIAL VISIT): Ben is concerned that he will get ill due to environmental,
food, and household contaminants. He also fears that others will have accidents unless things are in the right
place (fears traffic signals are not up-to-date). Reports that the degree of occupation with the thoughts during
the day is ‘relatively low’ and that ‘it’s all under control”

Second visit Day 2 : Ben is becoming more preoccupied with the possible health issues caused from the
food/beverage contaminants. He is spending a lot of his time researching these contaminants and it is causing
him to be late to work. He begins to develop somatic obsessions, worried that he has kidney and liver failure
from the chemicals in commercial foods. He does not feel balanced or in control. He hopes the therapist can
refer him for a physical workup.

Third visit Day 3: Ben endorses feeling even less stable and in control than in his previous visit. He has
avoided going to work out of fear of saying something inappropriate and has missed deadlines due to

compulsive cleaning of his office. Ben is suffering from stomach pain and is now convinced that he has a
tumor in his stomach. He asks the therapist to refer him for an MRI or PET scan, convinced that he has a
malignant tumor. Moreover, he is afraid that his wife never loved him and believes that her lack of love,
combined with the contaminants, have caused this tumor.

DAY 3: “Everything has gotten worse. I don’t feel stable. I
don’t feel like I have control. I have not been able to go to
work lately. I have a tumor inside my stomach, I need an
MRI or PET scan”
(He is now convinced that he has developed a tumor in his
stomach from all the contaminants. He also worries that his
wife never loved him and just settled for him. He is
beginning to avoid going to work altogether).
Additional Concerns: Other, if any, concerns INITIAL VISIT: He has concerns regarding environmental,

part of set agenda. traffic lights on his way to work are ‘screwed up’, so he waits
a few extra seconds at the traffic before proceeding. These
thoughts/concerns are not interfering with his daily
responsibilities and he feels stable.
DAY 2: He is worried about the contaminants in his
seltzer/food and believes that it is has caused him kidney
damage. He is feeling bloated, nauseous, and complains of
burning when he urinates. He asks the therapist to refer him
for further work up. He also has been second guessing
himself at work because he feels the buildings are not
safe/up to code.
DAY 3: He is now convinced that he has developed a tumor
in his stomach from all the contaminants. He also worries
that his wife never loved him and just settled for him. He is
beginning to avoid going to work altogether. His main
request is for the therapist to refer him for a PET or ‘whole-
body CT’ scan.

THE PATIENT STORY: The conversations between Ben and his doctor take place at
an outpatient clinic over three visits/appointments. During
his first visit (baseline, INITIAL VISIT), Ben presents with
‘minimal symptoms’ and is not too concerned regarding his
level of functioning. His second visit takes places three
months later (DAY 2), where Ben experiences an
exacerbation of his disorder; he presents as anxious and
worried (i.e.: ‘medium symptoms’). The third visit takes place
one month later (DAY 3), with Ben displaying ‘severe
symptoms’, including somatic delusions.

First Visit (baseline, INITIAL VISIT): Ben arrives at his


doctor’s office and begins by sharing some good news
regarding a possible promotion at work. He seems a bit
nervous about the increase in responsibility, but overall
states that the promotion would be a “good thing.” When
asked about his current symptoms, Ben states that he feels
stable: “My hands are good. I’m not chaffed, I’m not raw. I
have it pretty under control.” He does endorse a few
symptoms which he describes as “the usual stuff.” These
include being careful with what he eats, such as avoiding
phthalates, since “they can cause cancer and are linked to
Alzheimer’s.” He also states that the traffic lights on his way
to work are “totally screwed up” and that “it is an accident

COLLEGE OF NURSING
waiting to happen.” Therefore, in order to avoid getting into
an accident, he waits “an extra 10 seconds once the light
turns green” before proceeding. But he describes these
symptoms/actions as the “usual stuff, nothing [he] can’t deal
with.” In addition, he seems content with his marriage,
stating that things with his wife are going well. He mentions
that his son just turned 14, which is the age when he first
experienced his symptoms. He endorses “watching [his son]
more intently,” looking for symptoms, but states that “so far
he is a normal 14-year-old boy.” Ben does display neck and
eye tics throughout the conversation (excessively blinking
and tilting his head towards his shoulders), but all his other
previous symptoms seem to be under control (i.e.:
excessive handwashing etc.). Even his concerns regarding
his diet and the traffic lights, while present, have not affected
his day to day functioning (i.e.: he still goes to work and is
succeeding). Overall, Ben is pleasant and cooperative
throughout the interview, displays minimal symptoms, and
seems content at work and at home.

Second Visit (DAY 2): Ben arrives for a second visit 3


months later. When asked how he is doing he states “not so
good, I definitely had a relapse. I don’t feel balanced. A lot of
my worries have gotten worse. I’m having trouble controlling
everything.” He is then asked what he is trying to control and
states that he recently found out that the seltzer he has
been drinking daily is contaminated with chemicals that can
“cause kidney failure and possibly cancer.” He seems
convinced that he suffered some kidney damage from this
contamination, “I just know it has affected my kidney and
liver. I have to pee more often and it burns. I need a work
up.” Here, Ben is displaying pathological obsessions
regarding contamination (i.e.: chemicals in the seltzer) and
somatic illness (kidney failure). Although he fears being ill,
he is not certain that he is sick; he is still displaying some
self-questioning and doubt about his physical symptoms,
these are still obsessions and have not yet turned into overt
delusions. As the conversation progresses, Ben endorses
spending an excessive amount of time online, researching
the ill effects of the chemicals he ingested, which was
causing him to be late for work. In addition, when he does
get to work, he constantly checks the buildings he is going
into, believing that they are not up to code. “I am constantly
second-guessing going into the buildings. I do not feel safe
in them.” Ben’s compulsive checking of these buildings, as
well as his internet searches regarding the chemicals, are
affecting his day-to-day functioning and are no longer just
obsessions. Overall, Ben seems agitated and anxious
throughout the visit. He displays akathisia, uneasily sitting in
his chair, and has neck and eye tics throughout the
conversation. While he is not displaying any delusions or
psychotic features, his obsessions have turned into
pathological doubting and led to compulsions in the form of
repeated checking, organizing, and ordering and reordering.
His symptoms are affecting his ability to function and are
causing him a lot of anxiety and distress.

COLLEGE OF NURSING

Third Visit (DAY 3): Ben comes for an appointment one


month after his last visit. On initial appearance, it is apparent
that his akathisia is worse than before (he is anxiously
moving his right foot up and down and is nervously wringing
his hands). In addition, his grooming and hygiene are
inappropriate (messy hair, wrinkled shirt, etc.) and he is
displaying more prominent neck and eye tics. He states that
he is not feeling good; “Everything has gotten worse. I don’t
feel stable and I don’t feel like I have control.” He further
explains that he has not been able to go to work lately, after
missing deadlines due to his constant compulsive cleaning
of his desk and computer. Moreover, he is afraid of
interacting with female coworkers out of fear that he will say
something inappropriate (an obsession in the form of
sexual/forbidden thoughts). Ben’s current symptoms/actions
seem to be affecting his marriage as well. He endorses
“driving [his wife] crazy” and begins to wonder if she was
ever in love with him. “She did not want to kiss me on the
first date. She probably never loved me and just settled for
me.” As the conversation continues, Ben’s speech becomes
pressured as he complains of having bloating and nausea,
due to a tumor in his stomach. He asks the therapist to
schedule further workup (PET scan, ‘whole-body CT scan’).
The therapist follows this statement by asking if these
symptoms may be from the anxiety he is experiencing. Ben
denies any possibility that it is from anxiety and is fully
convinced that he has a tumor. “This is above and beyond
anxiety. It is a tumor and it is probably malignant.” He
believes that the tumor was caused by the contaminated
beverage and his insecurities with his wife, stating that “they
are probably connected.” Ben’s
contamination/environmental obsessions as well as his
somatic obsessions have turned into somatic delusions (i.e.:
he is not merely worried; he is certain that he has a tumor).
Overall, Ben’s symptoms have become very severe. He can
longer function at work and he is beginning to frustrate his
wife/family. His obsessions are turning into delusions and he
is fully preoccupied with these thoughts.

PERIOD: MIDTERM
Establishing Therapeutic Nurse-Patient Relationship
Activity: Recorded NPI with Process Recording

Case scenario 1:

Susan B, a 35-year-old woman came to the hospital for an out-patient breast biopsy. The nurse
noticed that while Susan waits in the room with her husband, she obviously appears nervous –
staring unblinking at the wall, tapping her feet and wringing a tissue in her hand. The nurse is
aware that the patient is a known case of Generalized Anxiety Disorder and is being treated with
benzodiazepines.

Case Scenario 2:

Marietta was a 43-year-old married security guard who came for a consultation at CVMC –
Department of Behavioral Medicine with a long history of depression. She described being depressed
for a month since she began a new job. She had concerns that her new boss thought her work was
poor and slow, and that she was not friendly. She had no energy or enthusiasm at home. Instead of
playing with her children or talking to her husband, she watched TV for hours, overate and slept
long hours. She gained six pounds in just three weeks, which made her feel even worse about
herself. She cried many times through the week, which she reported as a sign that “the depression
was back.” She also thought often of death but had never attempted suicide.

Case Scenario 3:
Mr. K is a 39 year old single (never married, no children) male who experienced his first symptoms
of mental illness in 2010, 11 years ago. He was living in the province at the time and sought
treatment at his local hospital. At this time he reported having feelings of déjà vu experiences off
and on for the past two years and these experiences were intensifying. He received some
medications (Haloperidol) in the emergency room but was not admitted. He had completed college
and had worked full-time ever since. Back then, Mr. K was employed full-time in an occupation that
required him to travel from different provinces. Mr. K reported that he smoked marijuana once per
week and drank alcohol occasionally. In June of 2021, at the age of 30, Mr. K was hospitalized for 6
days in his home town. At this time he was experiencing delusions, paranoia and isolation. Examples
of his delusions included the following:
 beliefs that the television was sending him messages;
 belief that mythological creatures were trying to entice him to battle;
 belief that a celebrity on TV wanted to marry him;
 Misinterpretation of numbers to indicate that he was GOD.

3. The group should must plan for appropriate psychotherapies for the patient
4. Accomplish a session design (see attached document for sample template)

Scenario 1: A CASE OF AGORAPHOBIA

Patient E. L had intense fear of falling and dying, along with fears of losing consciousness; not
to be found in time; and might be buried alive. She had been home bound for the last 17 years.
She had a fear that something bad will happen, if she will go out of her apartment. She stayed
mostly in her bed, and did not even allow her husband to leave the apartment. She believed,
that she might get hurt or buried alive if she leaves the safety of her bed. She also believed that
she might not be found in time, should something bad happen to her. The patient was quite
fearful of dying, thinking she may go to hell, although she could not describe anything that would
make her deserve that fate. When her brother died in 2002, she managed to go to the hospital
but did not want to go to his room to see him. Her niece reported that in the 1990s, when the
patient’s husband was working, she couldn’t tolerate being home alone. It was unclear if the
patient met the criteria for Panic disorder; however, her niece also reported she may sometimes
have panic like symptoms. These include shortness of breath; tightness in her chest; palpitation;
sweaty hands; tremors and sudden jolts of fear of dying. Her brother would pick her up and she
would stay all day with his family until her husband returned from work to pick her up at the
same time every day. Over the years, her condition worsened to a point where she even
refused to step out of her apartment. As the time progressed, so did her agoraphobia,
eventually forcing her to be confined to the corners of her bed. She was then provided with
services such as a bedpan and sponge baths.

In 2015, during the month of July, Mrs. E. L called her husband, who was in the next room, like
any other day. But this time she did not get a response from him. She immediately started
having bad thoughts and ideas of what could have happened to him; so she called the police.
This all took place from her bed. Instead of going to check up on his whereabouts in their own
home, the agoraphobia took a drastic turn, which clouded her rational decision-making in the
most critical time.

The safety of her husband was jeopardized, yet she still could not leave her cloister of safety
and comfort. Mrs. E. L denied feelings of depression, hopelessness and worthlessness. She
also denied loss of concentration. She had no leisure activities and simply lied in bed. She did
not listen to the radio or watch TV. She denied symptoms of mania or psychosis and also
denied suicidal or homicidal ideation.

Mr. K is a 39 year old single (never married, no children) male who experienced his first
symptoms of mental illness in 2010, 11 years ago. He was living in the province at the time and
sought treatment at his local hospital. At this time he reported having feelings of déjà vu
experiences off and on for the past two years and these experiences were intensifying. He
received some medications (Haloperidol) in the emergency room but was not admitted. He had
completed college and had worked full-time ever since. Back then, Mr. K was employed full-
time in an occupation that required him to travel from different provinces. Mr. K reported that
he smoked marijuana once per week and drank alcohol occasionally. In June of 2012, at the
age of 30, Mr. K was hospitalized for 6 days in his home town. At this time he was experiencing
delusions, paranoia and isolation. Examples of his delusions included the following:
 beliefs that the television was sending him messages;
 belief that mythological creatures were trying to entice him to battle;
 belief that a celebrity on TV wanted to marry him;
 misinterpretation of numbers to indicate that he was GOD.

Again he received medication but stopped it once he felt better. Mr. K contends that he was
never instructed to get the medication refilled once he left the hospital. He was again
hospitalized for one week in January of 2013. Records indicate that upon admission, he
reported feeling down, depressed, and crying a lot and that he believed he was not himself. He
also expressed beliefs that he had been in the military but that he was not sure. In actuality, he
had been a part of the Philippine Army for approximately 4 months but was discharged due to
reported feelings of suicide. At the hospital he reported that his thoughts seemed jumbled.
Records indicate that he was treated with Risperdal and diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Again,
he took the medication until the prescription ended but did not seek a renewal.

In April 2013, at the age of 30, Mr. K was travelling and had stopped to get some dinner at a
restaurant. He reported feeling very paranoid as if someone was going to harm him. He stated
that he believed some of the people in the restaurant looked like devils and were possessed by
demons. Mr. K went back to his vehicle and secured a knife for protection. He reentered the
restaurant and sat down to have dinner. Another patron approached him and began a casual
conversation. At this time Mr. K responded by pulling the knife and stabbing the bystander to
death. Mr. K left the restaurant but stopped to talk to the cashier on his way out the door as if
nothing out of the ordinary had transpired. He was arrested a short time later. After Mr. K’s
arrest he spent time at CVMC for restoration to competency. After receiving medications, he
was able to be restored and he was also evaluated for a second opinion sanity evaluation
requested by his public Attorney. In December, 2013 he was found Not Guilty by Reason of
Insanity and subsequently committed to the custody of the commissioner to begin the
privileging process. Mr. K’s initial progress in the hospital was slow and was laden with
numerous medication changes in order to maximize his treatment efficacy.

Psychiatric treatment was complicated with the medical problem of brittle diabetes. Additionally,
once Mr. K was stabilized and was able to fully appreciate the gravity of the fact that he had
committed murder, he was despondent, isolated and overwhelming remorseful thus requiring

further medication adjustments. He began to work with a therapist to address the guilt and
shame that he felt due to his actions. Slowly, Mr. K began to make progress and by November,
2017 he was able to receive approval from the Forensic Review Panel for Unescorted
Community Visits (up to 8 hours) to a day program. Although Mr. K’s psychiatric stability
remained constant, his insulin levels were unpredictable and often dangerous. At one point his
passes for unescorted community were held for two months in order to regain control of his
medications for his diabetes. However, by March, 2018 Mr. K was ready to request 48 hour
overnight passes. Until that time, he had continued to do well psychiatrically and was especially
vigilant of his blood sugar levels and has learned to administer his own insulin and other
medications such as Haloperidol, Fluphenazine Decanoate IM injections, Chlorpromazine,
Setraline, Biperiden and Cogentin tabs

Case Scenario 3: A CASE OF MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER

Marietta was a 43-year-old married security guard who came for a consultation at CVMC –
Department of Behavioral Medicine with a long history of depression. She described being
depressed for a month since she began a new job. She had concerns that her new boss thought
her work was poor and slow, and that she was not friendly. She had no energy or enthusiasm
at home. Instead of playing with her children or talking to her husband, she watched TV for
hours, overate and slept long hours. She gained six pounds in just three weeks, which made
her feel even worse about herself. She cried many times through the week, which she reported
as a sign that “the depression was back.” She also thought often of death but had never
attempted suicide.

Marietta said her memory about her history of depression was a little fuzzy, so she brought in
her husband, who had known her since college. They agreed that she had first become
depressed in her teens and that she had had at least five different periods of depression as an
adult. These episodes involved depressed mood, lack of energy, deep feelings of guilt, loss of
interest in sex and some thoughts that life wasn’t worth living. Marietta also sometimes had
periods of “too much” energy, irritability and racing thoughts. These episodes of excess energy
could last hours, days or a couple of weeks.

Marietta’s husband also described times when Marietta seemed excited, happy, and self-
confident — “like a different person.” She would talk fast, seem full of energy and good cheer,
do all the daily chores and start (and often finish) new projects. She would need little sleep and
still be up the next day.

Because of her periods of low mood and thoughts of death, she had seen mental health care
providers since her mid-teen years. Psychotherapy had given some help. Marietta said that it
“worked okay” — until she had another depressive episode. She could then not attend sessions
and would just quit. She had tried three antidepressants. Each gave short-term relief from the
depression, followed by a relapse. An aunt and grandfather had been in the hospital for mania,
although Marietta was quick to point out that she was “not at all like them.”

Marietta was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder and as having a current depressive episode. Her
husband’s information about her moments of hypomania helped in making the diagnosis.

CASE SCENARIO 4: A CASE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

PSJ was a 21 year-old male who was brought to the emergency room of CVMC by the security
guard of MCNP from which he had been suspended for several months. A professor had called
and reported that PSJ had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his payment for his
tuition fee and refused to leave.

Although PSJ had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly
odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his
appearance or social pursuits.

He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family
members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found
clues that his college was just a front for an organized conspiracy and rebellion.

He had been suspended from college because of recurrent tardiness and abseentism. His sister
said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be
talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from his room and ask his family to be
quiet even when they were not making any noise.

PSJ began talking about conspiracy and rebellion so often which prompted his father and sister
to bring him for consultation.

Upon assessment, PSJ was found to be a poorly groomed young man who seemed inattentive
and preoccupied. His family said that they had never known him to use drugs or alcohol, and
his drug screening results were negative. He did not want to eat the meal offered by the
hospital staff and voiced concern that they might be trying to hide drugs in his food.

His father and sister told the staff that PSJ great-grandmother had a serious illness and had
lived for 30 years in a hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital.

PSJ’s mother left the family when he was very young. She has been out of touch with them,
and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.

PSJ agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. His story reflects a common
case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills.
