Happiness versus Joy
Noncompliance
Two admissions today. One was discharged yesterday. Went home to find she had been robbed of TV, Stereo, and money. Decompensated began to devil was inside her. This lady so washed out on drugs she has a vacuous appearance. Very flat and no life. Discharged her yesterday because we felt nothing else could be done. Thought that she might immediately return to drugs because cocaine is only substance that can bring life to her attitude. Sadly, every time she uses cocaine she depletes more dopamine from brain which only increases her apathy and craving. Had no money for drugs and decompensated. When go to hospital delusional and hallucinating with downcast gaze and no life in eyes.
Second admission was discharged about nine months ago. Said discharge meds helped a great deal, but never returned to MHMR to get a refill of meds and slowly developed delusions, suicidal thoughts, and voices telling her to kill self.
