The patient is currently housed in the general population (medium security). The patient reports feeling increasingly fatigued, sleeping for longer periods of time, difficulty concentrating/completing tasks, and no appetite. The patient reports these symptoms began over six weeks ago. He cannot discern if these symptoms began all at once, but they did develop within a few weeks of eachother.
