woman, who lives upstairs although we understand she has moved out.
His mother has been supporting him and has been calling on him almost
daily for the past year as he has become more socially withdrawn.
Today Simon was well nourished and cared for and his flat although
cluttered was clean. He keens to relate his experiences to us but resisted
the idea he had a mental health problem.
Risks:
1. He made 1-2 serious self-harm attempts as a teenager with contact with
the criminal justice system. Today he said he had attended North
Middlesex University Hospital Accident and Emergency department last
year after drinking liquid nitrous oxide with intent to self-harm. Currently
he has no thoughts intent or plan to harm himself or anyone else although
he said today, he would kill himself “when I eventually clear my
name” - this is not linked to any particular date.

2. He looked well-nourished and clean, engaged well: there is a
potential risk of self-neglect if mother withdraws practical support.
3. Some Cannabis use, but likely to be insufficient to account for
today’s presentation.
Plan:
I did not think his presentation today would meet criteria for detention
under the Mental Health Act and Simon is willing to engage with services
although not to take medication at the moment. He declined contact with
the Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team as he does not feel he is in
crisis but took the crisis number 020 8702 3800. We have referred him to
the Early Intervention in Psychosis service for an assertive and consistent
approach to his on-going management consistent with a least restrictive
and proportionate response to his symptoms.
When his case is accepted by the Early Invention Service, we will then
close the case to this service.
Yours sincerely, ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED
