Question

Gregory Jackson has recently been released from an inpatient facility after a 1-week stay. He is a 46-year-old, bisexual, African-American veteran with asymptomatic HIV infection and asthma. Mr. Jackson has been employed at a post office since 1985. He was hospitalized recently after going to the hospital and reporting that he had been placed on administrative leave from his job after threatening bodily harm to a coworker. Mr. Jackson indicated that he felt as though he was going to murder someone unless he was seen by a psychiatrist and put back on psychotropic medication. He cannot stop talking, but can be understood. Mr. Jackson states, "I just need my cocaine and I need my medication. I'm going to New York City to get cocaine because they step on it too much in D.C." Throughout the hospital's initial assessment, Mr. Jackson did not stop talking for even a moment. He admits that he takes his psychotropic medications only when he is having problems like this at work, and that he last took medication about 1 year ago.
