F28 · Stage 1

Unusual, but only six weeks in

Priyanka, 36, has for six weeks had an unusual, hard-to-categorise presentation: brief episodes of smelling smoke that isn't there, occurring a few times a week, without any delusional explanation, hallucinations of other types, thought disorder, or mood episode. A medical work-up is still in progress and has not yet returned. The pattern doesn't obviously match F20, F21, F22, F23, F24, or F25 so far, but only six weeks have been observed.
