This is a single, employed, 37 y.o. Mexican American male admitted to Humanity Hospital on 10/2/68. Pt has dark hair, eyes and light complexion. He is appropriately dressed and groomed. Pt reportedly born to a fractured, chaotic household, but counters: "Although my home has been broken, it was the best home I ever had." Historical data indicates previous affiliation with criminal/violent subcultures, but denies current involvement and has no apparent charges/holds. Pt presents as OX3, and MSE was unremarkable, but he did deny knowing current U.S. President's name. Fund of knowledge appropriate, but was apt to quote movies and songs during intake interview. Affect is generally flat and mood dysphoric. Chief complaint: depressive sx and insomnia but will not elaborate, stating only: "I've always been this way. This is how it's supposed to be." Was able to contract for safety. Currently refusing medication and is resistive to treatment. Pt admitted with an AWOL precaution. Denies DTO/DTS plans/intentions.
