I believe that stigma of mental illness is wide spread across our nation. I don’t understand why it is a stigma in the first place. As, a society, there is a lack of knowledge and understanding with mental illness. Social media posting depicts bullying and shaming of individuals who may suffer from mental health diagnosis. Many of those who are diagnosis hide their disease to avoid judgement. However, mental health illness is not much different from metabolic illness. For example, diabetes maybe caused by the body’s inability to produce adequate amounts of insulin and depression maybe caused by the body’s inability to produce adequate amount of serotonin. Therefore, our society has to educate themselves on mental illness to decrease the stigma.

CASE: Case Vignette #2 – Henry Smith

            Henry Smith, a 19-year old college sophomore, was referred to the student health center by a teaching assistant who noticed that he appeared odd, worried, and preoccupied and that his lab notebook was filled with bizarrely threatening drawings.

            Henry appeared on time for the psychiatric consultation.  Although suspicious about the reason for the referral, he explained that he generally “followed orders” and would do what he was asked.  He agreed that he had been suspicious of some of his classmates, believing they were undermining his abilities.  He said they were telling his instructors that he was a “weird guy” and that they did not want him as a lab partner.  The referral to the psychiatrist was, he said, confirmation of his perception.

            Henry described how he had seen two students “flip a coin” over whether he was homosexual or straight.  Coins, he asserted, could often predict the future.  He had once flipped a coin and “heads” had predicted his mother’s illness. He believed his thoughts often came true.  

            Henry had transferred to this out-of-town university after an initial year at his local community college.  The transfer was his parents’ idea, he said and was part of their agenda to get him to be like everyone else and to attend parties and hand out with girls. He said all such behavior was a waste of time.  Although they had tried to push him into moving into the dorms, he had refused, and instead lived by himself in an off-campus apartment.

            With Henry’s permission, his mother was called for collateral information. Henry insisted that he should be present when the call was made to ensure that the psychologist was talking to his mother and not his instructors.  His mother said Henry had been quiet, shy, and reserved since childhood. He had never had close friends, and never dated, and had denied wanting to have friends.  He acknowledged feeling suspicious and anxious at times, but these feelings did not improve when he was around other people and only got worse. He was teased by other kids and would come home upset.  His mother cried while explaining that she always felt bad for him because he never really “fit in”, and that she and her husband had tried to coach him for years without success.  She wondered how a person could function without any social life.

            She added that ghosts, telepathy, and witchcraft had fascinated Henry since junior high school.  He had long thought that he could change the outcome of events like earthquakes and hurricanes by thinking about them.  He had consistently denied substance abuse, and two drug screens had been negative in the prior 2 years.  She mentioned her grandfather had died in an  “insane asylum” many years before Henry was born, but she did not know his diagnosis.

            On examination, Henry was tall, thin, and dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. He was alert and wary and, although nonspontaneous, he answered questions directly.  His affect was flat during the interview and he would often go on tangent and overelaborate on minor details.  He denied feeling depressed or confused.  Henry denied having any suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts.  He denied having any auditory or visual hallucinations, panic attacks, obsessions, compulsions, or phobias.  His intellectual skills seemed above average and he had a perfect score on his Mental Status Examination.
