His behavior has persisted despite medication adjustments and behavioral plans. He struggles in settings where there is too much sensory input and lack of structure. He has been destroying property and presenting with escalating aggressive, dangerous behaviors, homicidal threats and sexualized behaviors. Despite his impulsive behaviors and subsequent harm to staff members, he displays no remorse, though some question of whether he is able to adequately engage in reality testing possibly related to intellectual disability.

NMH8R0MGH-F12-4627
Presented to the ED in the evening, 9/18/24, with her parents after she ran away from school on Tuesday and made suicidal statements to a friend on Monday stating “I’m going to kill myself” which was relayed back to her parents. She also told another peer on Monday that she plans to run away. When she did run away the following day, Mom reports that she was missing for two hours before they found her and there were no known precipitating factors leading to this. Patient tells writer that she “doesn’t know” where she went on Tuesday and “I was walking towards home apparently.” Writer asked about why she is expressing confusion/poor memory of the event and if she was using any drugs/alcohol. She looked at writer, shrugged, then did not answer further. Throughout evaluation, patient is vague, intermittently evasive, and at times mute with writer. She presents with an incongruent and at times inappropriate affect and vacillates from a younger child-like presentation to a more adolescent presentation. She lacks insight into her parents’ concerns and demonstrates poor insight and poor judgement related to her personal safety. She is not willing or able to participate in reflection about why her parents/other adults are having significant concerns for her overall wellbeing, mental health and safety. When asked if she thinks she can maintain safety in the community/at home and also agree to not run away, she will not answer writer.
Area(s) of Risk: suicidal ideation, elopement, inability to care for self
Level of Risk: High for elopement and safety chronically for past few months which has been demonstrated repeatedly by running away and making unsafe choices such as getting in a stranger’s car and making pornographic videos of herself. Level of risk for SI statements is fluctuating and it is noted that pt does not have hx of suicide attempts.
Intent to Act: No
Referrals made to adolescent child psychiatric hospitals however no openings. Patient calm, cooperative and not having sx or bx thus appropriate to dc back home as of 9/20 however parents declining to have her discharge to home.
Child Protection involved as well as patient’s mental health case manager.
