CC (chief complaint): Having thoughts and hearing things that others couldn't hear
HPI: J.D. is a 30-year-old Caucasian female who was brought in for psychiatric evaluation by
her 2 roommates who are concerned with behaviors. The patient seemed fine, according to her
roommates Liz and Rachel, but soon after your aunt passed away, she began acting in a different,
slightly unusual manner. started hearing and thinking things that nobody else could. According
to the records, the patient had some depression after the death of her aunt, but her condition

only sleeps for two hours per day and only eats canned foods. She has used marijuana every day

Russians were terrorists, it would be too late. She stated that she had stopped taking her
prescription drugs because, according to her, "the medications were part of the problem". She
