Question
Sam is an 18-year old male. He is in his second year of Junior College. He had recently sought help by visiting the school's counselling services after his friends insisted that he should "get some help". Sam disclosed to the counsellor that he is a regular cannabis user for the past two years. His friends told him they were concerned for him because even when he was not under the influence of the drug. he was behaving "weirdly" and aggressively" towards others, especially over the past few weeks.
After a thorough assessment, it was obvious that Sam had experienced a psychotic episode. When he was asked about his family's medical and mental history. it was found that one of his aunt's had schizophrenia. The counsellor informed Sam about the results of his assessment and that further treatment both medical and psychological, would be advisable. However, Sam was not willing to engage in any treatment and refused to believe the possibility of a recurrent psychotic episode. Additionally, when the counsellor suggested that Sam should inform his parents he did not agree.
Fortunately, he did not stop coming for sessions, but Sam was observed since to have become more even aggressive and violent towards others.
