Rita, a psychiatric nurse, treats Treatment-Resistant Depression with a multidisciplinary team (TRD). Rita
dismisses patients. Her team leader, Prof S, uses her reports to discharge patients. Mr R jumped from the
8th floor of a nearby hotel after being discharged.
Mr R's family has expressed concerns regarding his Coroners Court treatment. Included:
Appropriateness of the treating nursing team's qualifications, assessments, and role in Mr R's hospital
release;
A lack of an effective permission process for the installation of a Deep Brain Stimulator] (DBS) and a
failure to inform Mr R that suicide and irreversible mood/personality alterations were dangers of DBS
surgery;
Clinicians not communicating with Mr R's family; DBS complications; Hospitalization for physical and
mental issues; His medical advice and treatment could have saved him.
Case MrR-21 was diagnosed with depression at 15. MrR Self-reported over 30 ineffective / Poorly
MER self reported over 20 ineffective and/or noodly
tolerated drug attempts and an ineffective course of electroconvulsive therapy when Rita met him. He tried
experimental treatments after these failed. Rita offered to Mr R that enrol in a new experimental TDR DBS
trial during their first encounter. She co-researches this experiment with Prof. S.
Mr R sought Prof S to engage in the experimental DBS trial to target his TRD one week after Rita's first
encounter with him. Mr R's brother attended the consultation. Prof S informed Mr R that DBS may treat
TDR symptoms experimentally. Prof S told Mr R that a DBS operation could cause death, permanent
disability, brain or IPG infection. seizure disorder, and irreversible mood/personality abnormalities. Mr R
was informed DBS therapy may not relieve his symptoms. Mr K's brother now denies that he was warned
of irreparable mood and personality changes.
The informed consent Mr R signed stated: "The doctor may [...] withdraw you from the trial at any
moment it he/she thinks this to be in your best interest. Une month later, Mr K's surgery went smoothly
and his wounds healed. Mr R implanted bilateral subcallosal cingulate cortex stimulators.
On Thursday, one day after surgery. Mr R complained to Rita of headaches and said. "I feel like I am who
I am today, but it's not me that went into the surgery. Mr K had suicidal thoughts and felt self-estranged.
He said his only reason for not acting was wanting to make it permanent. Rita listed several causes of
concern in her records:
Brain surgery caused Mr R great agony. His DBS device, which just restarted, wasn't working well.
Rita thought Mr R was dysphoric/depressed and hypomanic. She thought DBS stimulation caused
hypomania
Mr R complained of a "twisting" head discomfort to Rita on Monday. Mr R attributed the pain to
stimulation and morning drugs. Over the weekend, he informed Rita he felt self-estranged, irritated, and
suicidal. Rita reported that Mr R's discomfort caused suicidal thoughts.
The next morning, Prof S upped Mr R's DBS voltages. Rita stated Mr R was "extremely dissatisfied and
irritated" that afternoon. He regretted his voltages weren't "tweaked earlier". Rita stated he may not
improve every day. Mr R wanted further TDR improvement after implantation. DBS or stress? unsure.
weekends. "I don't recognise my brother since the surgery " Rita's brother said in a work voicemail. He's
impulsive and constantly changing his opinion".
The treating team recommended device removal due to severe side effects, believing that additional
therany would not be beneficial Mr R resisted device removal despite the trial's ineffectiveness and severe
suicidality.
