Plan
1. If Mr Cordell would like to try medication Sertraline starting at 50mg for one week
then increasing up to 100mg would be a good choice.
2. Crisis plan agreed with Mr Cordell if he feels like acting on his suicidal thoughts (call
Crisis Team, or Samaritans or an ambulance).
3. Discuss with team at MDT for advice around sources of support.
4. Mr Cordell to consider psychotherapy to address problems from the past.
Thank you for referring this 33-year-old man with low mood, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety.
He attended an appointment at the Silver Street Clinic 11.03.14 with his mother Lorraine.
Mr Cordell explained to me that he is under a lot of stress at the moment due to a pending
court case. He told me he is accused of burglary, but that he had been wrongly accused and
the police had falsified items on his criminal record. He said that the record had led to the
judge placing restrictive bail conditions including being at home in his flat after 8 pm. This
has meant Mr Cordell has not been able to work for the last nine months (as he normally
works as a DJ and party host with most work going on beyond that time). The bail conditions
have just been extended for a further six months. Mr Cordell feels that these restrictive
conditions have made him feel "a prisoner" in his own home.
Mr Cordell describes feeling anxious most days. He says he has a poor appetite and has lost
"3 stone" in weight over the last 9 months. He says he often finds his thoughts are overactive
and will not give him any rest. Mr Cordell says he finds it difficult to get off to sleep,
sometimes not until 5am, but then will stay in bed until midday. His mother says she has
noticed him become "more aggressive" and trying to isolate himself from others.
