Andrew is a 21-year-old male of Afro-Caribbean ethnicity.

He was initially referred to the Community Mental Health Team six months previously, after a two-month history of psychotic symptoms.

The original symptoms included the belief that his mother had allowed doctors to insert a chip into his brain when he was a baby, to enable them to monitor his thoughts and feelings.

In addition, he was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Andrew had a hospital admission shortly after this, due to a number of risk factors that were not manageable in the community.

In hospital, he was prescribed risperidone 4mg at night. Since his discharge from hospital, Andrew has continued to experience psychotic symptoms.

His engagement with the team has been variable and he is frequently non-compliant with his prescribed medication, which he openly admits to.

He will only take his medication occasionally, when he becomes unable to tolerate the auditory hallucinations.

His main complaint involves one significant side effect that the medication gives him, which is the inability to get an erection.

Andrew spends most of his day watching TV and smoking cigarettes. Andrew was distressed by the side effect of erectile dysfunction that he was experiencing.

To prevent this, Andrew, stopped taking his medication, and subsequently his psychotic symptoms increased.
