Running Head: Title
Circumstances of Referral:
Jane Doe is 22 years old female who was brought to emergency after she overdosed on
her prescription medicines. After spending 36 hours in intensive care unit she was referred to
adult psychiatry wing. Apart from suicide attempt, signs of self-mutilation on legs and arms were
the reason for referral. According to her the cause of her suicide attempt was breaking up with
her boyfriend and she claims that she didn’t have any suicidal intentions, instead she wanted a
break from what was happening and overdosed in attempt to sleep for a long time. Patient has a
history of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. She is currently not attending her college and is
working at a small café as waitress, that’s where she met her boyfriend. Jane talks about feeling
sad and lonely along with feeling of emptiness. She also feels she is a failure with her not
attending college and working at café just so she can barely support herself. She wants to move
out of her parents’ house but can’t due to financial reasons. She also keeps her mental health
issues from her parents resulting in inability to properly get treatments as she is on her family
medical plan.

her to emergency. She reports that she occasionally takes one pill extra from her prescribed
medicine to help her sleep if she is stressed.
