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.
