Abstract:
A case of a 32-year old male with a longstanding history of detachment from social relationships. He is generally restricted with regard to emotional expression. Immediate impetus for confinement was a suicide attempt. He was noted to have suicidal ideation and thoughts of death. His medical history and neurological performance were unremarkable. He was treated with an antipsychotic, an antidepressant, and a benzodiazepine, which seemed to improve his psychological state.
