Sample Medical Case Report: Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia in an Older Male with

Comorbidities

Patient: 68-year-old male (late 60s) with chronic schizophrenia, first psychotic episode in
2020, now treatment-resistant. The patient has significant comorbidities (brain hemorrhage
and liver disease) and has been managed in both inpatient and outpatient settings between
2020–2025.

Patient Profile and Background

Demographics: Male, late 60s. Retired factory worker, lives alone, limited social support (son
lives abroad). No family history of mental illness.

Medical History: Chronic liver disease (likely long-standing alcohol-related cirrhosis or

metabolic steatosis) with persistently elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT ~2–3× normal).
Platelet count borderline low (suggesting hypersplenism). Remote history of heavy alcohol
use (quit ~5 years prior). Other conditions: Type II diabetes mellitus (diet-controlled),
hypertension. In June 2023 he suffered an intracranial hemorrhage (cerebellar bleed)
resulting in partial left-sided weakness (see Neurological Complications below).

Psychosocial: Lives in subsidized housing, on disability benefits. Divorced, one adult child
out of country. No recent substance abuse (quit smoking in 2022). Engages minimally with
social services.

Onset: The patient had an insidious prodrome (social withdrawal, anxiety) in late 2019. In
January 2020 (age 63), he acutely presented with first-episode psychosis: auditory
hallucinations (voices commenting), persecutory delusions (neighbors “spying”), and marked
disorganization. There was no evidence of drug intoxication or other medical cause. This first
episode triggered psychiatric intervention.

Initial Presentation and Diagnosis (2020)

January 2020 (Inpatient Admission): Admitted after police intervention due to

bizarre/aggressive behavior. Mental status: agitated, non-cooperative, persecutory
delusions, disorganized thought. Vitals stable. Labs: moderate liver enzyme elevation
(ALT75), normal renal function. Head CT: no acute pathology. Diagnosed with acute
psychotic disorder (likely first-episode schizophrenia). Started on risperidone 2 mg BID.

February–March 2020: Risperidone increased to 6 mg daily. Partial response: decreased

agitation, but persistent hallucinations and fixed delusions. Noted mild akathisia (treated with
propranolol). Weight gain (~2 kg) observed. By 6 weeks, minimal improvement in core
psychosis.

April 2020 (Discharge): Continued risperidone 6 mg nightly on discharge. Mental state

improved enough for discharge, but patient still endorsed delusional beliefs. Discharge plan:
outpatient follow-up, psychotherapy referral.
Follow-up May–July 2020 revealed ongoing hallucinations despite adherence. By end of
2020, patient had failed adequate trials of two antipsychotics (risperidone and then
olanzapine) for at least 6 weeks each, meeting criteria for **treatment-resistant
schizophrenia (TRS)**. The illness course was severe; insidious onset and prominent
positive symptoms predicted poorer outcome.

Progression to Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (2021)

Medication Trials: Switched to olanzapine (10–15 mg) through mid-2021 with only slight
improvement; the patient became sedated and developed elevated glucose. A brief
haloperidol augmentation (5 mg/day) was attempted but was discontinued due to
extrapyramidal effects.

Clinical Status: Despite compliance, the patient remained psychotic: frequent voices
(>8 hours/day), intense paranoia. Functional decline: self-care poor, required staff
assistance. No mood symptoms; no substance relapse. Insight was absent.

Summary: After failing ≥2 antipsychotics (adequate dose/duration) without satisfactory

response, TRS was formally recognized. At this point, clozapine was indicated per
guidelines (the only antipsychotic with established efficacy in TRS).

Initiation and Management of Clozapine (Late 2021–2022)

Clozapine was initiated with appropriate precautions for this complex patient.

Informed Consent: By late 2021 the patient lacked capacity (severe psychosis) and was
involuntarily hospitalized under the Mental Health Act. A Second Opinion Appointed Doctor
approved clozapine as per MHA consent provisions.

Baseline Workup: ECG (QT normal), echocardiogram (no myocarditis), blood count (ANC
4200/µL), LFTs (ALT 80, AST 90), TSH normal. Patient smoked 10 cigarettes/day (CYP1A2
inducer).

Titration: Started at 12.5 mg nightly, increasing by 25 mg increments each 2–3 days. Dosing
was cautious due to hepatic impairment. After 2 weeks (50 mg BID), mild sedation and
orthostatic hypotension occurred; dose increases were slowed. By 8 weeks, stabilized at
~200 mg/day total (100 mg BID). Mandatory blood monitoring: weekly CBCs for 18 weeks
then biweekly. A transient neutrophil drop (ANC to 1700/µL) occurred at week 4, prompting
brief hold. No agranulocytosis ensued.

Side Effects: Common clozapine effects emerged: hypersalivation, constipation (managed

with laxatives), and significant weight gain (~5 kg over 6 months). Blood pressure remained
stable on anti-hypertensives; heart rate was mildly increased but no arrhythmia. No seizures
or myocarditis were observed.
Response: By early 2022 the patient’s positive symptoms markedly decreased. He reported
voices “softer” and delusions were less fixed. Objective scales (e.g. PANSS) showed ~40%
reduction in positive symptom scores. Negative symptoms (social withdrawal, blunted affect)
persisted. Functionally, he became more cooperative and required less restraint. These
improvements align with evidence that clozapine benefits ~40% of TRS patients.

Key point: Clozapine initiation followed NICE guidance and safety protocols: slow titration,
weekly monitoring, and addressing side effects. Despite its efficacy, clozapine use demands
balancing risks (agranulocytosis, sedation) with benefits.

Neurological Complications – Brain Hemorrhage (June 2023)

Figure: MRI T1-weighted scan showing a cerebellar hemorrhage (bright area) in an older
adult. This reflects the type of intracranial bleed our patient suffered. In June 2023, the
patient had an acute cerebellar intracerebral hemorrhage. He presented with sudden
headache, vomiting, and gait ataxia. Emergency CT and MRI confirmed the hemorrhage in
the right cerebellum. Risk factors included long-standing hypertension and probable cerebral
amyloid angiopathy (common in elderly). This event required ICU-level care.

During the hemorrhage hospitalization, clozapine was held to minimize infection risk. He
received intensive supportive care: strict blood pressure control (Lisinopril, Amlodipine) and
IV fluids. Neurologically, he had mild left-sided ataxia and confusion, which improved with
rehabilitation. After stabilization (~2 weeks), clozapine was reintroduced slowly (titrated from
12.5 mg) as per restart protocols. Serial imaging showed no new bleeding. The team noted
that clozapine should be used cautiously in cerebrovascular disease, but determined that the
psychiatric benefit justified continuation given careful monitoring.

Chronic Liver Disease Considerations

The patient’s chronic hepatic dysfunction influenced treatment decisions. Clozapine is

hepatically metabolized; significant liver impairment warrants dose reduction. Accordingly,
target clozapine dose was ~250 mg/day (lower than typical 300–450 mg). Liver function was
monitored monthly; mild ALT/AST elevations persisted without acute injury. Other
medications were selected to minimize liver stress (e.g. avoiding valproate/CBZ, choosing
cardio-metabolically safe hypertensives). The patient’s long-term liver cirrhosis also
warranted screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (ultrasound every 6 months). Despite
these issues, no clozapine-induced hepatitis occurred, consistent with cautious dosing.

Psychosocial Interventions and Rehabilitation

Housing & Support: After discharge from the stroke unit, the patient moved to supported
accommodation. Care coordinators and community nurses ensured medication adherence
(blood draws for clozapine done at home). Occupational therapy helped him regain daily
living skills (dressing, feeding).
Psychotherapy: Engaged in CBT for psychosis (voice management); progress was slow due
to cognitive deficits. Social skills group was attempted, but participation was limited by
residual paranoia.

Family Involvement: The patient’s son was largely uninvolved (in another country). No health
power-of-attorney or advance decision was in place, so all decisions fell to treating team per
MHA.

Lifestyle: Dietitian addressed weight gain and diabetes; he adopted a low-sugar diet.
Physical therapy improved mobility after the stroke. Smoking cessation (completed in 2022)
removed a CYP1A2 inducer, so clozapine dose was modestly increased to maintain blood
levels.

Overall, psychosocial measures aimed to improve adherence and quality of life, but chronic
illness limited gains. By 2025 he remained disabled (unable to work, requiring daily
assistance) despite stable living conditions.

Medication and Monitoring

Antipsychotics: Multiple failed trials (risperidone, olanzapine) prior to clozapine. Currently on

clozapine 250 mg/day (split-dose).

Adjuncts: Lorazepam PRN (severe anxiety/aggression), propranolol for akathisia, laxative

regimen for constipation.

Medical: Lisinopril + Amlodipine (HTN), Spironolactone + Furosemide (cirrhosis

complications), Lactulose (encourage ammonia clearance), Statin (dyslipidemia), Aspirin
75 mg (stroke prophylaxis). Diabetes managed with diet and metformin as needed.

Monitoring: Clozapine REMS – weekly full blood count ×18 weeks, then biweekly; ongoing
metabolic labs and LFTs monthly; ECG yearly. Clozapine level measured (therapeutic trough
~400 ng/mL). No serious lab abnormalities aside from those already noted.

Treatment Outcome Over Time

2020: First-episode psychosis, partial response to risperidone; illness progressed.

2021: Multiple antipsychotic changes, TRS confirmed, clozapine planned.

2022: Clozapine titrated; marked reduction in positive symptoms, residual negative

symptoms and sedation side effects.

2023: Intracranial hemorrhage; brief interruption of clozapine; neurological recovery.

2024: Gradual functional improvements (e.g. self-care), maintained on clozapine; focus on

rehabilitation.
2025: Stable chronic schizophrenia with controlled positive symptoms; major disability due to
negative symptoms and cognitive issues persists.

In summary, the patient achieved partial remission: psychotic symptoms are much
attenuated, but significant chronic deficits remain. This outcome aligns with long-term
studies: only ~29% of first-episode patients reach full recovery by 10 years. Early clozapine
use was in line with evidence (earlier clozapine yields better response).

Ethical and Legal Issues

Consent & Capacity: The patient lacked capacity due to psychosis. Under UK law, a
detained patient can be treated without consent if it’s in their best interests. In practice, we
used involuntary admission and obtained a Second Opinion Appointed Doctor signature for
clozapine (per Mental Health Act Part IV). All discussions about risks (agranulocytosis,
seizures) were documented, though genuine informed consent was impossible.

Autonomy vs. Beneficence: The patient initially refused medication; we attempted

persuasion first. When refusal risked harm (psychosis, self-neglect), we prioritized
beneficence under MHA authority. His rights were respected otherwise (e.g. allowed visitors,
liberty within the ward). No overtreatment occurred beyond legal requirements.

Monitoring Burden: Clozapine’s monitoring requirements (frequent blood tests) restricted his
freedom; the team worked to minimize distress (home visits by phlebotomists).

Safety & Risk: History of aggression required use of seclusion/restraint on rare occasions;
these followed strict hospital protocols. There were no forced ECTs or other high-level
interventions.

Legal Compliance: All measures adhered to statutory guidelines. Treatment followed NICE
and MHRA guidance on TRS and clozapine. The intracranial bleed prompted a pause in
psychiatric treatment in favor of medical stabilization, reflecting multi-disciplinary legal and
ethical coordination.

This case illustrates the complex interplay of severe mental illness, physical comorbidities,
and legal-ethical frameworks. Management was consistent with best-practice
recommendations for TRS (offer clozapine after 2 failures, monitor thoroughly) while
addressing capacity and safety concerns.

Sources: Key practices and statistics cited here are supported by current guidelines and
literature. For instance, TRS affects ~30% of schizophrenia patients, clozapine is the only
proven treatment, and treatment under UK law requires best-interest determinations for
involuntary care.

ADDRESSED TO:

UK Visas & Immigration (Entry Clearance Officer)

British High Commission, New Delhi

DATE OF REPORT: 03 December 2025

SUBJECT: MEDICO-LEGAL ASSESSMENT OF MR. VIHAAN SHARMA (DOB: 14/08/1958)

1.0 PRELIMINARY MATTERS & INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Instructions

I have been instructed by Mrs. Ananya Gupta (the Sponsor) to prepare a comprehensive
psychiatric assessment of her father, Mr. Vihaan Sharma. My instructions are to provide an
expert opinion on:

1.​ Mr. Sharma’s current diagnosis and clinical prognosis.

2.​ His functional ability to perform everyday tasks (Activities of Daily Living) under
Appendix Adult Dependent Relative.
3.​ The clinical feasibility of his care being provided in India by paid professionals or care
homes, specifically addressing the "subjective unavailability" test established in
BritCits v SSHD.

1.2 Expert Qualifications

I hold an MD in Psychiatry and have 20 years of experience treating severe psychotic

disorders in India. I am a Fellow of the Indian Psychiatric Society. I have specific expertise in
Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (TRS). I confirm that I understand my duty is to the
Tribunal/Decision Maker and this report is objective and independent.

1.3 Methodology
●​ Clinical Interview: Attempted on 01/12/2025 at the patient's residence. The patient
refused to enter the room; assessment conducted via video link facilitated by the
Sponsor.
●​ Records Review: I have reviewed 1,200+ pages of clinical notes from Apollo
Hospital and Max Healthcare (2020–2025).
●​ Collateral History: Interview with neighbor Mr. Alok Verma regarding daily living
habits.

2.0 CLINICAL HISTORY (2020–2025)

2.1 Premorbid History

Mr. Sharma was a retired civil engineer. Following the death of his wife in 2018, he lived
independently. His decline began during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, where social
isolation precipitated a severe psychotic break.

2.2 Trajectory of Illness

The patient suffers from a continuous, deteriorating course of psychosis:

●​ 2020 (Prodrome): Onset of persecutory delusions. Believed neighbours were

pumping "poison gas" into his home via the AC vents. Covered windows with
aluminum foil.
●​ 2021 (First Admission): Involuntary admission to Apollo Hospital following a public
disturbance (found wandering the highway). Diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia.
Prescribed Risperidone, which he refused to take consistently due to "poisoning"
fears.
 ●​ 2022 (Aggression & Care Failure): Developed hostility towards hired help.
Assaulted a domestic nurse (Mr. Kumar) believing he was a "government assassin."
This marked the failure of domiciliary care.
●​ 2023 (Treatment Resistance): Diagnosed with Treatment-Resistant
Schizophrenia (TRS) after failing adequate trials of Risperidone and Olanzapine.
●​ 2024 (The Clozapine Failure): Attempted Clozapine therapy (the gold standard for
TRS). Failed due to refusal of blood monitoring.
●​ Current Status (2025): He is housebound, living in a state of severe self-neglect
(Diogenes Syndrome). He refuses to let anyone enter his home except his daughter
(during her visits).

3.0 DIAGNOSTIC FORMULATION

3.1 Primary Diagnosis:

Paranoid Schizophrenia (ICD-10 F20.0).

Sub-Type: Ultra-Treatment-Resistant.

3.2 Critical Symptomatology impacting Visa Eligibility:

1.​ Persecutory Delusions: Fixed belief that a "syndicate" is trying to poison him. This
delusion specifically extends to medical professionals and hired carers.
2.​ Anosognosia (Lack of Insight): This is the pivotal legal factor. Mr. Sharma does
not believe he is ill. He interprets attempts at care (bathing, medication) as physical
assaults. This renders voluntary care impossible.
3.​ Severe Avolition: A total neurological lack of motivation. He will sit in soiled clothes
for days unless prompted by a trusted attachment figure.

4.0 FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT (The "Daily Tasks" Test)

My assessment, utilizing the Modified Barthel Index (Tab E), confirms the following deficits in
everyday tasks:

4.1 Nutrition (Dependent)

Mr. Sharma cannot cook safely (risk of fire). Crucially, due to his "poisoning" delusion, he
refuses to eat food prepared by hired cooks or care homes. He has lost 18kg in 2 years. He
eats only packaged biscuits or food prepared by his daughter when she visits.

●​ Clinical Opinion: A paid cook cannot resolve this because the barrier is
psychological, not physical.

4.2 Hygiene (Dependent)

He scores 0/10 for bathing. He has developed fungal infections (Tinea Cruris) due to hygiene
neglect. He aggressively resists attempts by paid nurses to bathe him (see Incident Report,
Tab D). He requires 1:1 supervision and emotional reassurance from his daughter to enter a
bathroom.

4.3 Medication (Dependent)

He cannot self-administer. He "cheeks" (hides) pills. When nurses attempt to administer, he

becomes combative. Compliance is 0% without the Sponsor.

5.0 UNAVAILABILITY OF CARE IN INDIA (The "BritCits" Test)

The Home Office often asserts that medical facilities exist in India. While facilities exist, they
are subjectively unavailable to Mr. Sharma.

5.1 The Failure of Professional Care

We have attempted to utilize the Indian private healthcare sector. These attempts failed not
due to lack of facilities, but due to Mr. Sharma's psychopathology:

●​ Private Nurses: He views uniformed staff as "agents." His paranoia triggers a "fight
or flight" response, leading to violence.
●​ Care Homes: Placed in 'Serenity Seniors' in Jan 2023. He engaged in a hunger
strike and barricaded his door. The facility discharged him after 4 days citing
"unmanageable risk."

5.2 The "Chemical Restraint" Dilemma

To force Mr. Sharma into an Indian institution would require permanent chemical restraint
(heavy sedation with Haloperidol/Lorazepam) to manage his resistance. This would render
him bedbound and significantly shorten his life expectancy. This does not constitute
"reasonable" care under Article 8 ECHR.

5.3 The Sponsor as a "Medical Necessity"

Mr. Sharma retains a specific cognitive-emotional bond with his daughter. She is the
"Exception" to his delusional system. In her presence, his cortisol levels lower, and he
accepts food. She acts as his external frontal lobe. This therapeutic function cannot be
purchased.

6.0 PROGNOSIS
The condition is permanent. Without the Sponsor's direct supervision, Mr. Sharma faces a
high probability of premature death due to self-neglect or untreated metabolic syndrome.

SECTION B: INDEPENDENT SOCIAL
WORKER REPORT
PREPARED BY:

Ms. Leela Menon, MSW

Independent Social Worker & Care Consultant, New Delhi

Date: 28 November 2025

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I have assessed the availability of care for Mr. Sharma in New Delhi. My finding is that while
care homes exist, none are suitable or safe for a patient with Paranoid Schizophrenia and
Anosognosia who actively resists care.

2. AUDIT OF LOCAL FACILITIES

I contacted three leading facilities to inquire about admission for Mr. Sharma, fully disclosing
his history of aggression and medication refusal.

Facility Response Reason for Rejection/Unsuitability

Name

Vardaan REFUSED "We do not provide staff for patients with a history
Nursing of assaulting carers. It is an unsafe workplace."
Bureau

Serenity REFUSED "Mr. Sharma was previously discharged from our

Seniors facility. We cannot manage patients who refuse
Home food due to delusions."

Tulip Psych UNSUITABLE Facility uses locked wards and physical restraints.
Rehab This would likely cause severe psychiatric
decompensation (trauma) for a paranoid patient.

3. CONCLUSION
There is no person in India who can reasonably provide the required care. The "market" for
care has failed Mr. Sharma because his condition makes him an "unmanageable" client for
private providers.
