Case
A young man of 20 years age is diagnosed schizophrenic. It started when he was 16 after an accident witti his motorbike, where he was in coma for about 15 minutes and fractured his tibia and helmet completely. After the accident he got headaches and vomiting in the moming. After some 5 weeks his behavior became weird. He got an aversion to parties, swimming pools and places where people were. Then he started to hide in cupboards, putting on strenge clothes, sometimes in 4 layers over each other and regulate the traffic. After half a year he was diagnosed schizophrenic. Half a year later he also became aggressive, started to beat his father. A hospitalization for 2 months was helpless. Chinese herbs and magnetizing were no help either. He got a strong desire for alcohol and tobacco; he could drink a whole bottle of wine in 5 minutes. This gave a lot of fighting witti his father, who had to lock all the alcoholic drinks behind doors. But he managed often to find the key and started to drink again. Due to the alcohol he started to get a swelling of the liver, low-grade fever constantly and liquid behind the lungs. His memory was only working for the time before the accident; he remembered nothing of the 4 years after it. He doesn't work or study at all. He doesn't anything the whole day, he only does something when he gets alcohol or tobacco for it. He often looks in the mirror, thinking he's ugly. He wants to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes. After alcohol he's more active, talks more. When he keeps on drinking his language is completely gibberish.
His behavior is difficult, sitting in his chair, laughing and giggling, not answering any question. He has strange remarks such as "I don't like that guy (himself), hes a killer, a lunatic". In the past he became angry when called schizophrenic. He says that he knows who is schizophrenic, but is not allowed to say it. One can feel his anger mixed witti giggling in a kind of sardonic behavior when rot answering questions. As an inter rogator one gets the feeling that it's better rot to ask further in order rot to provoke an outburst of rage. He feels very unpredictable and angry. He becomes angry when things don't go his way
He has the delusion of being persecuted, dirty. He likes blond girls, witti big breasts.
