CASE STUDY 9 – MOHAMMAD NABI

Mohammad Nabi is a 33 year old Afghani male who has recently been released from a detention centre into the community. Mohammad Nabi does not speak English. Whilst in detention, Mohammad Nabi had a psychiatric assessment and you learn through medical reports that he has a formal diagnosis of schizophrenia with some aspects of violence psychosis. There are also identified issues of torture and trauma. After 2 weeks living in the community, the friend telephones your service distressed and seeking urgent assistance. He claims that Mohammad Nabi is no longer taking his medication and his behaviour is frightening him and his family. He begs you to come and take Mohammad Nabi away as he has concerns for the safety of his wife and children. He says Mohammad Nabi describes hearing voices, some of which scream and others whisper. All are derogatory in nature. Mohammad Nabi has also become increasingly paranoid and suspicious and believes that he is receiving messages from the television screen. His friend tell you he confronted Mohammad Nabi about his behaviour 2 days ago and offered to take him to see a doctor but Mohammad Nabi got angry and pushed him away yelling at him that he has no problem with his head “as madness does not affect his people”.
