Psychiatric Discharge Summary Sample Report #5
DATE OF ADMISSION: MM/DD/YYYY
DATE OF DISCHARGE: MM/DD/YYYY
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:
AXIS I: Schizophrenia, paranoid type, chronic, with acute exacerbation.
AXIS II: Antisocial personality disorder.
AXIS III: Crohn disease, chronic anemia, peptic ulcer disease, and possible gastrointestinal neoplasm.
AXIS IV: Severe.
AXIS V: 55.
REASON FOR ADMISSION: The patient is a (XX)-year-old Hispanic male admitted involuntarily because of hallucinations telling him to kill himself. This was one of many admissions for this man, who had a supposed history of schizophrenia, was noncompliant with any of his medications, sleeping on the streets, not eating, not sleeping, progressively becoming weaker, and finally experiencing auditory hallucinations that were telling him to kill himself. He reported being withdrawn, seclusive, and isolative with very depressed mood and anhedonia.
HOSPITAL COURSE: The patient was able to sign voluntary following admission. We started the patient on Risperdal 2 mg b.i.d., Cogentin 1 mg b.i.d., and Protonix 40 mg daily. Medical consultation was provided for the management of his various medical problems. After some blood work was done and a CT scan of the abdomen, it was felt that the patient was in need of a complete gastrointestinal workup in order to rule out gastrointestinal malignancy.
Mentally, the patient showed significant improvement, felt more animated and hopeful and was becoming less depressed. He, however, was doing poorly physically, and after discussing the case, we contacted Dr. John Doe in order to transfer him to the medical-psychiatric unit. Instead, he spoke with Dr. Jane Doe who felt that it would be indicated for the patient to be on the medical floor. Therefore, we discharged the patient to medical surgical bed to continue with his gastrointestinal workup.
CONDITION ON DISCHARGE: The patient was alert and oriented. Sensorium was clear. Speech coherent. Mood was much less depressed with brighter affect. No evidence of psychotic symptoms at this point. He denied auditory or visual hallucinations. Denies suicidal or homicidal ideas. Insight and judgment were both very limited.
LABORATORY DATA: His RPR was nonreactive. CBC showed a WBC of 6000, hemoglobin 12.6, and hematocrit 36.2. Chemistry profile was unremarkable. TSH 1.0. Urine toxicology was negative. Urinalysis was negative. A CT scan of the abdomen showed thickening of the cecal wall showing interval increase from the prior study and soft tissue density occupying the proximal ascending colon. They felt that this was a worrisome finding that could indicate a neoplastic process representing either cancer, lymphoma or a granulomatous lesion.
DISCHARGE PLANNING:
DIET: Regular.
ACTIVITY: As tolerated.
MEDICATIONS ON DISCHARGE:
1. Cogentin 1 mg b.i.d.
2. Risperdal 2 mg b.i.d.
3. Pepcid 20 mg b.i.d.
4. Protonix 40 mg daily.
5. Ferrous sulfate 300 mg t.i.d.
6. Reglan 10 mg a.c.
FOLLOWUP: Follow up with Dr. Jane Doe on the medical floor for further workup and Dr. John Doe will continue psychiatric followup.
PROGNOSIS: Poor.
