Saw a guy with huge ears in the MRT today after work. Thought he looked familiar. Then I remembered, he was the guy that I seen one afternoon, admitted by the social worker for query suicide intentions.
He was the one with the BLUNTED affect, and that's the first time I experienced a patient with paucity of speech. Getting his story out of his mouth was like digging for gold. Yah, he has problems paying for his debts after a bad deal selling off his HDB.
Good to see him around with less blunted affect. At least he didn't kill himself in the end. Looks like he really does care for his mother (the only reasons stopping him from killing himself during that admission was: 1. He was afraid to hurt his mother, and 2. He was afraid to die)
