Had a request today from a Hispanic, Spanish speaking, parent of a 19yr old gal. Had to talk to the parent through an interpreter phone service to get background info
Mom says she’s calling because daughter ripped her earrings out of her ears and threw her phone to break it today. I ask what’s the context, why do you think she might have done these things? Her mom is like oh I dunno, she gets like this when it’s her period. I’m thinking really? You reached out for mental health assistance for teenage period angst? Turns out her mom was like the worst hypothetical guesser in the world because that was so fucking off base it wasn’t even on the same planet. Nor was her daughter, I dunno what planet she was on but it wasn’t Earth (Note: I have a dark sense of humor but this is sad. Possible onset age 19 no hard drug use, these are max-sad situations because it often means a lifetime of serious up to life threatening mental health struggles) But keep in mind I’m going into talking to her (English speaking thank God, phone translators are so awkward) daughter thinking this is just some period moodiness But having worked in the field for 17 years I can recognize right away things are off. I know the schizoaffective stare. It’s unnerving,‘it’s a completely flat affect face with a stare so intense it bores through you. And she came out with that. And initially she just stared. I started by asking who lives with you (I already got all this info from mom), and she answers “my daughter lives in the vent, want to know her name?” I’m like “ok, you have a daughter? What’s her name?” And then comes the stare. A solid minute of the intense stare. No answer. No expression. Just the Terminator stare. Then she says “I can’t tell you her name, she’ll die” Oook, this isn’t period woes. I could barely get an in context answer for most assessment questions. Or if I did it would be so out of left field. Like when I ask how she fills her day lately she would say “I babysit my 12yr old son for breast milk”….me blinking thinking should I ask…..nope let’s just drop it But it’s ok, she changed the subject for me by saying “someone put a hex on me. It’s because I have a door in me” Ok this is nonsensical, let’s get to the meat and potatoes. “Your mom said you tore out your earrings today, is this true? Do you remember doing this?” She nods yes. “Why?” “To save a little boy. And my daughter”…..All right, she’s actively hurting herself completely based in delusion, this is pretty bad Me: “are you thinking about hurting yourself again?” Her: “voices went inside my tongue. My tongue moves by itself” Ok I appreciate all the evidence you are mentally unwell, let’s retry the question: “are you still thinking about hurting yourself?” Her: “I have over 100 children. When I had my son my bf had a gun” I’m like ok this is going nowhere. Her mom clearly doesn’t understand mental health, and is probably not in the best position to keep her safe. So I had to go over shift spending about 20 mins giving mom psychoeducation (yes it’s a real thing). Then going to get the girl mental health help against her will. Sorry once you are ripping your earrings out of your head in psychosis, I have an professional obligation to act Anyway, after a few slow weeks it was interesting | ||

You gave that girl an opportunity for a better quality of life. If she takes her meds. Gets therapy. And her mom basically understands her daughter is essentially disabled with a real illness and not choosing to be this way. Shits hard. Thank you for doing the hard shit. High five from me. 🙌

Ok, just before I did the news interview, had a bit of wild request today:
Client was instructed by her PCP to reach out for mental health assistance, so the client called herself. When I got to her apartment, I was like “oh no…”. Boxes and boxes of Amazon orders still fresh in their packages (amazing they hadn’t been stolen yet, she must have some saintly neighbors), along with trash and various objects from her home. Empty spent syringes on the ground, no idea what was in them but I still after the entire call don’t completely think she had a hard drug problem. She was experimenting with a lot of different supplements, so that might have been what was in those And her door wide open. And there she is, same age as me, sitting in her underwear on her living room floor. We get to chatting, and at times she seems clear minded and can banter on about how I like the same kind of powerbars as she does, she lets me check her fridge. Oh her house is hoarder status btw, not a spot of visible surface anywhere. But she had food Oh and a nice big screen tv still in the box amidst other purchases in her living room. At times she has thought blockage, losing her train of thought or staring at me blankly. Other times she is clearly responding to internal stimuli, turning her head as if to listen to someone not there She says yes she’s hearing voices and yes she sees a “hyper sexual lady” who commands her to do things. Things she does not like, but does not provide details. Then she also sheepishly looks up from the floor and says “I might be manic, I’ve been going on a bit of a spending spree”…and I’m looking around thinking I can see that “I went to see three different movies in the movie theater yesterday…” she says. I’m thinking Jesus you must be crazy nobody does that shit, JK. She can’t remember and is like “Jurassic park I walked out of, too violent with monsters eating people. The other was 28 days later? And then F1” And I was like I’m surprised you didn’t leave 28 years later that’s violent as well, and I heard F1 was good, was it? She said yea it was good. “Then I lost my car”. Me: lost it, like at the movie theater?” She shrugged. Can you help me look for it? I’m like I have to get authorization to transport, and we’d need a specific destination, I can’t bring you around looking for your car I said look, you mention you’re not sleeping, you’re hearing and seeing things. You think you might be manic [she had also mentioned a prev dx of schizoaffective]. I know of a behavioral health urgent you can go to where you won’t even have to stay, you can come right home She says “no thanks, I have an appointment with my dr this Friday, she’ll have some recommendations” and I was thinking: that Naturopathic Dr that you told me a few minutes ago recommended you get off all your psych meds and get on a keto diet and that will fix everything? Yeah if that’s true that doctor is a quack. But I doubted it was true and wouldn’t have said it anyway So, this lady was clearly torpedoing her life, no doubt putting herself in financial ruin, losing her car somewhere possibly stolen or wrecked. Putting herself in a vulnerable position with her door wide open sitting in her underwear and packages outside like a cookie trail for the nearest sociopath creeper I was planning on doing a slower, non-emergency involuntary treatment request. But when I came back in to leave her with some resources, things got weirder. Her door still open she’s moved to her room and is squatting in her underwear facing away. She’s ignoring my increasingly loud and concerned calls out to her, and her shirt appears to be raised and she’s motioning towards herself jerkingly, like towards her chest I’m thinking Jesus is she injecting those syringes into her stomach, like an insulin shot? That could become life threatening, so I decide fuck it I don’t care that you aren’t allowing me back in, I’m not going to sit here while you hurt yourself. And I walk up to her and I notice a cord coming out from her chest area and snaking along the floor. I’m like “what is going on? Is that some kind of electronic thing?” And finally she answers “it’s a tens unit” and her voice sounds distressed. I’m starting to walk around her to see WTF is going on and I realize her tits are out. So I stop partly out of an ingrained code to respect people’s privacy. And she holds out a nipple clam and says “these are nipple clamps I got at the sex shop. The lady is in the room with me, and she demands hard nipples” And I could see her face and she looked distressed and in pain, she appeared to be shocking herself with that tens unit. So I was like “listen, you need to stop listening to that lady ok? She does NOT control you. You control you, ok?” She stopped momentarily, I dropped the resources off, got back on the phone with my sup, and we switched the plan to an emergency pick up. If her UA comes back clean, very likely this will go to COT mental health court and that’s going to be an awkward story for me to say in front of the judge. And I wouldn’t even put it past a public defender attorney to question well how do you know it wasn’t sexual and not to hurt herself? And I want to be like “listen, I know all about shocking the nips for sexual gratification, I hook a car battery up to these bad boys every Friday night, ya hear? Her face and voice seemed in pain and in distress, that’s how I know. She said lady commands she do things she doesn’t like” I also submitted a report to APS. They normally don’t care Jack shit for self-neglect cases but this time they said they were going to investigate after they heard about the train wreck her life had turned into | ||

But beyond that only the info that the the source of the request provides, might be a lot, might be nuthin But this lady did provide me with her doctors(2) info. So I called each to coordinate and partly to put on blast that stupid naturopath that (allegedly) told her to stop taking her psych meds and do keto instead And the client and her doctor said she didn’t have a history of hard drug use. And of course the doctor said no that’s absolutely not true, she’s been encouraging the client to get on mental health medications because she was already off them for some time before she started seeing her Then the doctor said “she has mentioned in the past an extensive history of trauma. The worst imaginable…” and she trailed off. I quickly interjected that she didn’t mention this to me, and the doctor stopped at that point because HIPAA gets dicey on what can be revealed even in circumstances like hers But while it wouldn’t cause someone to be that psychotic, it certainly appears to be a factor. Whether it was dad or someone else is anyone’s guess though | |||
