Setting Adult Psychiatric Unit
Scenario This morning when you see the patient on rounds at 8:30, MP continues to express paranoia that the FBI is poisoning his food and the food of others around him, as well as disorganized speech. He now states that he hears voices telling him to stab himself with a knife. He states that he does not want to harm himself but he is getting tired of the voices telling him what to do and he “doesn’t know what else to do.” When questioned further, he also admits to feeling hopeless and sad, having difficulty sleeping for the past month and experiencing a decrease in his appetite and energy level.

At this point, MP’s agitation has improved and he is out of seclusion. You and the rest of the treatment team are seeing him for the first time this morning. The psychiatrist would like you to make recommendations for all of MP’s psychiatric and medical conditions.
Admission note taken on 10/19/25
CC “The voices are telling me to stab myself. I don’t want to do it, but I am afraid that I will because I just want them to go away.”
HPI MP was brought in to the psychiatric ER by police (last evening) at 9:37 pm after he was found acting bizarrely in a McDonald’s. The manager had called police, complaining that MP was taking food off of customers’ trays and throwing it out, as well as verbally threatening some of the customers.

Upon presentation to the ER, MP presented as paranoid and agitated. He attempted to assault one of the nursing staff. At that time he was given lorazepam 2 mg IM and haloperidol 5 mg IM to which he responded well. He was placed in seclusion and remained calm overnight although he continued to exhibit paranoia and disorganized speech. He was given one dose of quetiapine 300 mg extended release PO at midnight. All other medications were held until he could be evaluated by the treatment team.

Medication
History
  • MP has been on quetiapine for 2 years. MP stopped treatment with quetiapine on his own approximately 6 weeks ago, about 2 weeks after his dose was increased from 400mg QHS to 600mg QHS. He says that he stopped because it made him feel too tired during the day.
  • He has also been treated in the past with aripiprazole which did not work well for him and risperidone which was stopped 4 years ago due to elevated prolactin (69.7 ng/mL) and gynecomastia (per clinic records).
  • MP has been intermittently compliant with his citalopram treatment recently because he feels like it does not work for him as well anymore. In the past he has been on fluoxetine and nortriptyline with limited response.
