Case Study 3: Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia
Patient: Randy
Written by Elaine Cassel
Marymount University and Lord Fairfax Community College
Worth Publishers, 2004
Presenting Complaint:
Thirty-two-year-old Randy lives in a cabin in a remote rural area of Montana. He moved here 10 years ago after he left his parent’s home in suburban Sacramento, California. The cabin has no electricity or running water. Randy considers himself a survivalist; he heats his house with wood and gets his water from a nearby mountain stream or from the rainwater he collects. He grows vegetables and kills game and birds. He has a 20-year-old truck that he uses to go into town, a 100-mile trip from his isolated home. He inherited $50,000 from an aunt several years ago. He keeps the money in a passbook savings account in town and withdraws cash when he needs it. He doesn’t have a regular job, but people have found that he is good with his hands. He does odd carpentry jobs occasionally, if he is in the mood.
When Randy goes into town, it is usually to get a couple of hundred dollars of cash out of the bank, buy a few things from the grocery store, such as coffee, milk, and household items, treat himself to lunch at the diner, and go to the library. On these trips, he might pick up a job or two.
The people who know Randy refer to him as “odd” but harmless. He often talks to himself when he eats or works. Some say that if they listen closely he appears to be carrying on a conversation with one or two other people. Randy wears worn-out clothing and has long hair and a bushy beard. He is often dirty and disheveled, but he is not so different in that regard from other men in the area.
The diner where Randy eats lunch has a television that is always on. Randy appears agitated by the television and he mumbles something like, “Turn that thing off. It is messing with my head.” One of the waitresses humors him and asks the other clients if she can turn it off. Most agree. When that waitress isn’t working, the television stays on. Then Randy doesn’t linger over his meal.
The librarian says Randy must be very bright, because he checks out history and philosophy books. In fact, she often orders books he wants from a large city library, as their library caters to the simple tastes of its rural populace.
One day, Randy came into the restaurant extremely agitated. He was pulling at his hair and talking loudly. He asked the waitress to give him something to stop the noise. What noise, she asked? He said, “The noise in my head. Since the television stole my brain I can’t stop the noise.” The waitress laughed and said, “Why don’t you tell us what kind of noise is in your head? Maybe we want to listen, too.” At this point, Randy reached over the counter and grabbed the waitress by the blouse and shouted, “Kill the noise or I will kill you.”
A scuffle ensued as the patrons in the restaurant rushed to the waitress’s ...
