Introduction

The provided case study is of 34 years old Pakistani woman who was diagnosed as “brief

psychotic disorder” during her 21 days hospitalization. Patient is married (her husband was

selected for her when she was 9 years old). Patient has 4 children. Patient got settled in United

States after getting married in her 20’s. She was diagnosed as psychotic because the psychosis

persisted for less than one month. Her husband reported that she believed that she is Prophet

Mohammad and she gets messages from Allah through TV. He also reported that one evening she

got out of control due to which he called police and as a result she got admitted as an inpatient in

psych unit. She was asked about that incident but she denied by saying that “the entire incident is

blown out of proportion”. She also denied about her believe that she is a prophet and stated that

her husband is making these statements about her because he wants to get rid of her as he never

loved her and he always wanted an American wife. She added that she knows the intentions of

her husband because TV is telling her so. During hospitalization she was taking Risperdal but

after getting discharged, she stopped taking Risperdal (about a week ago) because she thinks that

through Risperdal her husband will poison her so that he can marry an American wife.

The pertinent positive information that will impact the decision making when prescribing

medication for this patient includes diagnosis of paranoid type Schizophrenia, scores of PANSS
