F25

Understandably shaken, still schizophrenia

Hassan, 24, has a five-week history of hearing voices commenting on his actions and a fixed belief that he is being monitored by a government agency. Throughout this period, he has also appeared tearful and anxious at times, telling staff he is 'scared and doesn't know what's happening to him.' He is sleeping and eating normally, has no history of mania or depression, and this is his first psychotic episode.
