not accept that his presentation may be the result
of a mental disorder and that he needs an
assessment of his mental state and treatment for
this, so he could not agree to an informal
admission. I deemed him to lack capacity to
make this decision today.
9. Reason for decision to make the application
(including choice of Section)
Mr Cordell seems to have a history of
deteriorating behaviour and feelings of
persecution and since 2014 after the deaths in his
family and the carbon monoxide poisoning. He
has been taping everything and has Closed
circuit TV outside his flat. It is reported that he
believes the TV is talking about him. He has
been depressed in the past and attempted to take
his own life.
He seems to have some very grandiose plans to
run Raves but no evidence that he has any funds
for it. this is a long running issue that has not
changed since his admission in 2016.
given his presentation today he would be a risk
to other if not assessed under the mental health
act and then treated.
section 2 allows a period of assessment and or
treatment for his mental disorder so this was the
appropriate section to make today.
