History of Past and Present Ilness "Alma," a 45 year old mother, divorced, was admitted to NCMH by her sisters and brothers. Her daughter "Berna" also came with her mother, both were blaming and angry to their relatives for forceful psychiatric consultation and not leaving each other's side, even for a minute. As per the given information and documents shown by her sisters, "Alma" had her first episode of psychotic illness at the age of 20. At the onset, "Alma" held delusions of persecution against her sisters and believed the reason was her beauty, the sisters were jealous of as stated by them. Meanwhile, “Alma" took treatment on and off from a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for past 12 years. Electroconvulsive therapy was also given, although complete documentation was not available. "Alma," married at the age of 25, had divorce at 28 because of frequent quarrels according to her sisters. Since then, "Alma" is living with her daughter "Berna" at her mother's home. "Alma," since her separation from her husband, believes that there is a man named "Carl" who actually helped as an inter-mediator in solving the divorce terms between the couple, but never saw him again after. According to the sisters. "Alma" claimed that "Carl" lives in her ex-husband's city and wants to marry her and ready to accept her with her daughter "Berna." She believed that it is her family members, who don't let "Carl" meet her and that the family members want to declare her mentally ill, so that "Carl" will not marry her. Six months back, "Alma" discontinued her treatment and for past 3 months, confided her daughter "Berna" and herself to home, and threatened her own mother to leave the home. "Alma" had no contact with any of other family members, since then. She did not even allow her daughter to attend her school, as she thought that the family members may harm her daughter too. The daughter "Berna" who is 17-year-old, also held the same belief for past 3 months. According to her, the man named "Carl" came to her school 3 months back and gave his name as her father's name in school documents which was actually given by her mother. She also believes that this man came over to her school multiple times in past 1 year and saw him every time he comes but she could never meet him because of the relatives, who along with her teachers conspired against them and never let them meet. One week back, the duo went to the city, they believed "Carl" lives in and started searching for him for days. The family members searched for them and found them wandering here and there in shaggy unwashed clothes, no slippers, and not taken proper meal in past 2 days. That is when the family members brought them to NCMH and was subsequently admitted for treatment and management.
