The interview took place at Mr Cordell’s home address. Those
attended - M G, AMHP, I A, AMHP trainee, Dr M and Dr A S12
doctor. Mr Cordell put his dog in the back yard. The reason for the
visit was explained to Mr Cordell and he was interviewed
appropriately. He was very calm throughout the interview. He said he
has been stressed with the fact that he had not been able to do
anything in his life due to the previous bail conditions. The ASBO is
affecting his business opportunities. He said he would like to build up
his business and get on with his life, but he is not being able to do this.
He said he is spending most of the time indoors and occasionally
taking his dog for a walk. He said he is working on his computer,
trying to fix his website. He stated that he is getting sleep but found it
being difficult for few days as he was working on his computer late at
night. He denied drinking alcohol or taking any illicit drugs recently.
When asked about the support he would require from the mental
health service, he said that he would like to get some advice and move
on with his life. He said he has not thought of harming himself or
others. He was optimistic that he would go through this difficult
situation and recognised that his grandmother's recent death had also
contributed to his problems. He has agreed that he would contact the
mental health crisis service if he needs help or he would go to the
North Middx A&E if he felt bad in the future. He said that he had
contacted the crisis service in the past and he knows how to access
services.
4. Assessment of risk to patient and/or to others
Mr Cordell had told the mental health professional in March 2014
that he had suicidal thoughts and he had been E-searching the
ways to kill himself on YouTube. However, he said today that he
is a strong person and he has no intention of harming himself or
others. As he has not had any thought of harming himself recently,
the risk remains low at present. He said that he knows how to get help
if he needs any support in the future and he was given contact
information about the ECRHT.
Risk of social isolation: He has stopped attending youth centre and not
going out as he used to do in the past. He was advised to go out at
least for a walk with his dog daily and he has agreed for this plan.
