He does not think he is unwell and does not think he has a mental health problem. He
admits he might be elevated but he believes this is a constructive state.
Mr Cordell reports not being compliant with any of his medication at any point. He is
refusing to take any medication during this admission. “I’ve spent thousands of pounds
showing you my brain, me being alert saves lives.”
Mr Cordell would like to appeal his section and feels that by keeping him in hospital we are
breaching his rights. “Physical or mental suffering amount to torture”
He reports sleeping, eating, and drinking well. Later he suggested this may not be the case
stating, “In the night-time when my neighbours are asleep that’s the best time for working”.

Cordell spoke at length about the injustices surrounding his placement on curfew and the
