One of the lads in work, new enough, was suffering from paranoid delusions today which he started suffering from last night.
He thought everyone was sending PMs about him on the case mgmt system(not possible) that people were saying heās a threat to the buildings security and that Garda were coming for him.
I managed to convince him to go home early but a couple of the girls in the office had the shit scared out of them by it. Poor chap is on probation and will probably not turned into permanence after this
Not being made permanent will be the least of his worries, unfortunately. He has a hard Road ahead I fear, as do those close to him.
I hope there is someone at home.
nope, looks like he may have taken my advice and gone to see a quack.
I have a few clients with similar difficulties. itās a very scary scenario and the vividness of the delusions and paranoia make it a lot harder to treat as a lot of the times they can perceive the treatment as being part of the delusions. really feel for the guy and really hope that this was his first episode but experience tells me that its happened before and that he probably didnāt medicate or had a few bevvies while on the meds
