Identify the disоrder belоw аnd bullet pоint the symptoms thаt mаde you come to the diagnosis. There is only one answer. A 20-year-old male, Adam, just finished his freshman year at college. He came into the office with his mother as a result of a psychotic episode that started 5 weeks prior. Adam’s symptoms included grandiose ideas, hallucinations, increased energy and confidence, poor appetite, and decreased need for sleep (he would only be able to get 2-4 hours per night). He became quite loquacious with urgent and pressured speech, and he frequently suffered from mood swings – of which irritability and anger were major players. Adam ended up spending 9 days in a local hospital and then 2 weeks at a local psychiatric hospital. He had since returned to live with his parents and had chosen to go off most of his medications. His symptoms diminished from their original intensity, but he still very much suffered from persistent insomnia, grandiose ideas, loquacity, racing thoughts, and extreme irritability. His mother wanted another professional opinion on his diagnosis, as well as on other possible routes of treatment, especially since Adam refused to see a psychiatrist due to his negative experiences at the psychiatric hospital. After further intake, it became clear that Adam’s symptoms had been building gradually over the previous 3 months and had intensified during the 5 weeks prior to the point at which medical attention was urgently needed. This episode started in the college fraternity house, which he shared with 5 other men. He described this living situation as “chaotic,” on top of the stresses he was already experiencing in school. Starting 3 months before his office visit, Adam also developed a habit of very heavy and continuous cannabis use as well as moderate alcohol use (both of which he claimed to have stopped using 5 weeks prior). His mother felt that the cannabis aggravated his symptoms; however, Adam disagreed with this sentiment, stating that the cannabis helped him cope with the stress he was experiencing. Hint: really think about the time criteria for certain disorders.
