Presentation of the Problem

Doe is a 17 year old, Caucasian male from a lower middle class rural area. He was arrested for attempted murder of two police officers. Doe’s attorney has requested an evaluation of Doe’s mental state at the time of the offense. Due to the seriousness of Doe’s offense he has been transferred to adult court. Doe has no prior arrest history or legal involvement in the juvenile or adult legal system. In addition, Doe has no previous medical or mental health history; nor a history of substance abuse or addiction.

Doe’s mother described him as being a “smart, outgoing and friendly young boy in elementary school and mid-school.” However, during high school Doe became withdrawn and detached per his parent’s observations. He stopped socializing with others and by his junior year he was failing all of his classes.NSG 6420 Week 7 Grand Rounds Presentation

Per Doe’s parents eight months prior to the crime Doe began to exhibit bizarre behavior in the home. For example, Doe was observed watching television and chanting “circa mal te, cira mal te, cira mal te…” Doe’s mother stated when she asked Doe what was he chanting Doe stated “I have to talk in code so they want understand me, you know they can hear us you know and then pointed at the television. We can’t let them know my plan to fight them.” NSG 6420 Week 7 Grand Rounds Presentation

Doe’s father stated a few days before the crime he observed Doe having a running commentary with himself and when he asked Doe who was he talking to Doe yelled out “ …their coming, their coming…” Due to Doe’s parent becoming increasing concerned about Doe’s bizarre behavior they scheduled an appointment at an outpatient clinic for a psychiatric evaluation.NSG 6420 Week 7 Grand Rounds Presentation

During the evaluation, Doe communicated marked delusional beliefs about policemen who were “non-human.” Doe stated he had seen the “non-human, alien policemen,” but would not elaborate further. Doe reported the “alien policemen” were placed on earth to facilitate the “takeover of the world and seize all humans.” He elaborated that this world “takeover” would involve the murder of “all government leaders” and “millions of innocents.”NSG 6420 Week 7 Grand Rounds Presentation

When asked, Doe said he did not have any thoughts of hurting himself or others nor did he exhibit an inability to take care of himself. Doe was released to his parent’s care with a prescription of an atypical antipsychotic with a follow-up appointment scheduled in five days. Per Doe’s parents Doe was non-compliant in taking his prescribed medication. Two days later, Doe walked into his local police station and began firing his father’s .357 magnum and chanting “circa mal te, cira mal te, cira mal te…” Two policemen were seriously injured.
