Hospital Course and Treatment: The patient was admitted to the 3-south neuropsychiatric unit under the care of Dr. [NAME]. He was initially admitted to the 1-north unit and was started on Zyprexa. There was initial concern of bipolar with psychotic features, currently in a mixed state given the symptoms as described in the HPI. The patient was extremely guarded and refused to discuss details of the events leading up to admission. He was also noted to have significant psychomotor retardation and flat affect. Over the weekend that he had been admitted, Effexor was added 1 day after admission given the concern for more of a unipolar depression with psychotic features rather than bipolar. The following day, the patient was transferred from 1- north to 3-south neuropsychiatric unit due to the high psychotic acuity on 1-north and the patient feeling uncomfortable in that sort of milieu. Once on 3-south, the decision was made to discontinue the Effexor given the concern for possible bipolar disorder. He had continued on the Zyprexa and had been increased up to 15 mg at night, however, he did display excess daytime sedation and significant psychomotor retardation, therefore, the decision was made to cross titrate him from Zyprexa to Abilify. Therefore, he was started at 5 mg b.i.d. He tolerated this medication well without any additional side effects and was increased to 10 mg b.i.d. He continued to be very guarded and suspicious on the unit, and he would not interact with any peers or speak voluntarily to staff members. He was extremely flat with psychomotor retardation and would even walk slowly and talk in s low monotone voice. After a few days of the Abilify, he slowly began to open up more about the events prior to admission and did feel that, "perhaps I was blowing everything out of proportion" and admitted that perhaps his delusions and suspicions prior to admission were not reality based. He did admit to having concerns about the mob and hearing things as well as having concerns about dead bodies being dragged into his house. While on the unit, the first few nights, he did endorse vague visual hallucinations of an outline of a wheelchair in his room as well as auditory hallucinations of tires screeching and people talking that made him very suspicious for mafia activity. However, he slowly began to become less guarded and suspicious and slept well with Abilify and occasional use of Ambien as needed. His affect did become brighter and he became less suspicious and talked more voluntarily with the staff. Throughout admission, he denies any thoughts of self-harm or harm to others and very much wishes to go home given how much he missed his family as well as the fact that he felt that he was sleeping better and thoughts were more organized and he was less anxious. On [DATE], a family meeting was held with the patient, his wife, his brother, the social worker, and the resident physician. All questions and concerns were addressed during this meeting and the family was also educated that a provisional diagnosis of major depression with psychotic features was only a working diagnosis at this time and it would not be until long-term followup that one could be certain of his actual diagnosis, however, it is recommended that he continue on the Abilify the time being. He was having some excess daytime sedation, therefore, Abilify was changed to 20 mg all at night The prospect of initiating an antidepressant would be deferred to outpatient psychiatrist, however, this should be considered if his psychotic symptoms resolve, but he remains to be significantly depressed. At the time of the family meeting, the patient, his wife, and his brother did feel safe with him to return home that day given the fact that a followup appointment, who already been made for UCI Outpatient Psychiatry the following week.
