INTRODUCTION
This case-study discusses about the mental condition of Mr. Leroy who is a 35-year-old
caucasian male. According to the case-study Mr. Leroy used to show maniac episodes six
months ago, which reduced with the help of proper treatment. According to the provided
background history, Leroy did not follow the treatment and guidelines properly which
deteriorated his condition. Due to his condition, he lost his job and partner after which he moved
into his parent’s home. The purpose of this report is to assess different interventions for the
symptoms identified in the video where Mr. Leroy is seen conversing with the psychiatrist.
DISCUSSION
By seeing the video, it can be understood that Leroy is least interested in the conversation
with the psychiatrist. In the whole seven-minute video, Leroy has not made a single eye contact
properly with the psychiatrist and also did not keep a proper sitting posture.
In the entire seven-minute video, Leroy is seen to rub his face with his palm before
conversing, and also he is stammering while speaking. He does not make a clear conversation,
nor does he give any straightforward answer.
For example – When the psychiatrist asks Leroy, how much amount of sleep he
receives?. Leroy does not give any straightforward answer; he states “I get sufficient sleep and
always feel energetic. Who keeps track of the amount of sleep.” But later he says that he receives
3, 4 hours of sleep.

2REPORT
In the video, it seems that Leroy is being overconfident and is considering himself a busy
person. His overconfidence was seen many times, like when the psychiatrist asked him about his
diet, sleep, or the use of illicit drugs. He replied to those queries in a way that he knows what he
should be doing and whatnot. When the psychiatrist asked Leroy about when was the last time he
took his medicines, he stated that it was two weeks ago. According to him, the medication did its
function as he was feeling good.
Leroy had his perceptions which were seen in the whole conversation. Such as regarding
the medicines and the drugs. However, the impressions he had were all wrong, and they were all
occurring because of his illness.
SYMPTOMS
The major symptoms that were observed in Mr. Leroy during the conversation are –
 Distorted perception
 Exaggerated feeling
 Insomnia
CONCLUSIONS
Various kinds of interventions have been discussed in the assessment for Mr. Leroy. Following
those interventions properly and taking the prescribed medications will help Mr. Leroy to get
into better health.
