MSFinals-5600

A 16-year-old boy is referred by his general practitioner (GP). He was brought in by his parents after he had attempted to set fire to his room. His parents reported that, over the past two months, they have noticed that the patient appears withdrawn and has been spending a lot of time in his room. He will not let anyone in his room and has also blocked the view from his windows using aluminium foil.
At the clinic, he accused the GP of being one of the police agents sent to spy on him. He has also lost significant weight, and his parents report that his mood seems to be quite low on some days. The patient has no insight into his current condition and says that his room needs to be burnt down to destroy the surveillance devices installed by the police. The patient denies drug use, but his father confirms that he has once seen his son smoking what he suspected was an illicit drug in the backyard.
The GP refers the patient to a psychiatric hospital, and the doctors there explain to the parents that it is in the patient’s best interests to be kept in hospital for assessment for a maximum of 28 days.
