Nаthаn, 33, hаs had a varying cоurse оf issues since late adоlescence. He had difficulty in school because of his tendency to engage in risky behaviors, fighting, and his short temper. Although gifted in linguistic and mathematical intelligence, his mood issues created problems with teachers and peers. He had one hospitalization as a child, 7, when he insisted that his grandfather, who had died recently, was talking to him. He was an athlete and channeled some of his excess energy into team sports until an injury sidelined him in his junior year. Nathan has a history of drug and alcohol use disorder from that period. As an adult, he completed undergraduate studies and a master’s degree after recovering from his alcohol and drug use problems. He was diagnosed with depression by an internist and given an Zoloft for the condition. After having taken the medication for several months, his girlfriend brought him to the ER disturbed by his behavior. Betsy states, “I have been with Nate for several years and gotten used to his periods of depression, but this is something new. That is not to say that he is easy to deal with, but this is different. In the past two weeks he has slept less than 3 hour a night. He is not a good sleeper, but 2 or 3 hours a night! Then he was so up and energetic. He had lots of energy, too much, was elated, not happy but almost high. Then he started redoing our basement. He went to Lowes and spent a ton of money on flooring, paint, wood to redo the basement. Nate wanted to redo the whole house. He would start on one part of his projects and go to something else. It upset me to watch him tear stuff out and not fix it. As it went on, he became irritable if I did not do everything he said when he said it. He was hard to take, demanding. The thing is he is just not that way. Nat is sweet and kind. He started to scare me because it just wasn't like him. Not violent, no, just like I had to stop whatever I was doing and do what he wanted. He kept getting worse and after more than a week he started talking to someone who was not there. That was what brought me here. Another thing he never did, no taking to the wall.” Early in hospitalization the patient was medicated with 5 mg. of Haldol, 2 mg. of Ativan im to calm his agitation and combative behaviors. After awakening from his stupor, he asked where he was and what has happened. He was begun on 250 mg Depakote twice daily and 2 mg. daily of Risperdal for symptom relief. Initial drug screens indicated no illicit medications in the patient's bloodwork. He is kept in the psychiatric facility for another week and a half during which he has begun to oversleep, reject food, and appear moderately depressed. You diagnose what?
