His older sister is married, and gave birth to twins twelve months ago. Dylan’s parents have been very busy with their first grandchildren. In the past 4 years Dylan has lost contact with many of his friends. He goes out with work mates for an occasional meal. He attends family activities sporadically and sometimes goes to the football with his father. He has not had an intimate relationship for the 4 years. Dylan’s mother Jenny, reports that she thinks her great Uncle John had schizophrenia. Her elderly mother only recently recalled this same information. Jenny reports that she was successfully treated for post -natal depression after the birth of her second child. Education and Work Dylan was educated at the local primary school and then attended the City Grammar School where he completed his final year of secondary schooling. He then enrolled in an engineering degree. However, he began to struggle with his studies in his third year and took a year of leave of absence. He has not returned to university study. He has worked at the local Coles store since he was 17 years of age. The store had been renovated over the past 18 months. This has caused disruption to all the staff, including Dylan. Past medical history Dylan has no significant medical problems and no significant developmental history. He broke his arm playing rugby at school and made a full recovery. Past psychiatric history Dylan had one brief episode in a psychiatric inpatient unit when he was 19. He was diagnosed at that time with a brief psychotic episode. He was treated with medication for a period of six months and then it was decided to reduce and cease his medication. Dylan’s parents believe that he may have used cannabis in early high school and again at University. For the past 4 years he has denied use of cannabis or any other substances.

His current provisional diagnosis is schizophrenia and he had been prescribed olanzapine 10mg BD. Dylan has refused to take olanzapine tablets. He reluctantly agrees to take a 10mg wafer. He says that the olanzapine gives him a dry mouth. Since his admission there has been evidence of weight gain. Although manageable, it has been noted by staff. Dylan has also informed nursing staff that he feels drowsier and it is harder for him to wake in the morning.

He says he has heard ‘them’ talking about him when he sits outside for lunch. Perception: Dylan experiences auditory hallucinations. He reports he has heard the noises in the roof for several months.
