                             17 Oct - referred for MHA due to history of physical and verbal aggression
                             towards his neighbours. EANLT MDT agreed that he is a risk to others and his
                             behaviour could also put him at risk from others. Simon refused to engage with
                             MHA. Application for 135(1) was made - Judge found insufficient evidence for
                             136. Forensic referral sent on 17/10

                             25 Oct - Simon was arrested as the police called to his flat re him breaking a
                             harassment order and he assaulted the police who attended. He was taken to
                             Wood Green police station. Found to be him thought disordered, hypomanic with
                             flight of speech and grandiose delusions. Detained under MHA.


                             On initial review he had pressured speech, difficulty interrupting, appeared elated
                             in mood, and had grandiose beliefs e.g. started talking about owning a couple of
                             local festivals and engaging in multiple charities involving children. At the time he
                             has limited insight; he does not want any medication, and has never believed he
                             has a mental health disorder.

                             His UDS was positive to THC.


                             He immediately appealed his section. The tribunal was done on 8/11/18 which he
                             lost.
                             On 5/11/18, Dr Greensides reviewed the patient and made an application for
                             Section 3 as there are risks to his health and to others. It was felt that it would not
                             be beneficial to take against his will unless he is subsequently detained on a
                             section 3. However, there was a delay in the assessment so he was started on
                             Risperidone 2mg ON which he refused to take.

                Admission    He had a MHAA for a Section 3 on 14/11/18; it was felt that there was no
                 Summary
                             evidence of Simon posing a risk of harm/safety to himself or others and there was
                             no obvious risk of neglect. As a result he was not sectioned.

                             It was decided that as a result of this, there was no reason for Simon to remain on
                             an acute psychiatric ward as we are unable to treat him. He was discharged as a
                             result, with Dr Greensides emailing his CC about arranging an O/P consultant
                             review and emailed the forensic consultant regarding an O/P forensic opinion.

                             Thank you for your continued care.

                             Here is his MSE on admission:
