initial stage of depression

This is to inform you that Mr Chia has been on outpatient follow-up here since 27 May 2006 for a diagnosis of Acute Psychosis.

He presented with talking to himself, irrelevant speech, persecutory delusions and auditory hallucinations of 2 months duration, accompanied by suicidal thoughts.

With outpatient treatment and anti-psychotic medication, his symptoms have shown improvement, and he has been relatively symptom-free the past 2 months.

Currently, he is continues to require outpatient treatment and pharmacotherapy.

I recommend that he be restricted to non-combat duties and excused from firearms on his enlistment into National Service.

Please contact me if you have any queries
