常低著頭往下看,執著想法,與她人爭執衝突引起糾紛

病人為 31 歲單身女性,診斷為 1Schizophrenia 2.mild mental retardation,據舊病歷,個


案於就讀幼稚園時,即開始有坐不住、無法配合活動等情況。當時個案被帶至台大醫院就醫
,診斷為過動症。之後個案之發展較遲緩,雖然仍可就讀一般小學,但在校成績差,且時常
遭同學欺負。約在個案 10 歲時,個案開始出現自言自語、自笑等症狀。並有許多怪異的行為
,會不自主起身走動、跑步、跳動等。同時思考固著、態度較固執、情緒起伏較大,因此與
家人多爭吵。當時因個案被帶至南部居住,故被帶至成大醫院就醫,診斷為輕度智能不足及
精神分裂症。之後個案返回基隆,於基隆長庚醫院規則門診追蹤,主要使用藥物為
Quetiapine 600mg/day 及 Fluoxetine 40mg/day。個案國中及高中皆就讀於啟智學校,高中
畢業後即於基隆長庚醫院日間病房住院約一年多。之後因個案於日間病房表現不佳,多次逃
跑、缺席,故辦理出院。

個案在家皆與案祖父母居住,尚可料理自己之生活起居,但功能稍差,自我清潔之維持較草
率。若未注意,則會有向外跑、outside-wandering 等行為。因案祖母年事已高,感無力照
顧個案,希望有長期安置之場所,因此將個案帶至本院門診就醫,102.3.5-102.5.1 住院治
療評估後轉介至本院護家安置,期間會發現病人有不適切行為(觸摸他人身體、干擾病友),
無法配合行為約定且情緒易起伏,故 107/8/2 轉急性病房住院治療,穩定後 107.8.27 返回護
家。

108/8/15 日因偷拿別人洗髮精並偷改名字,不承認偷竊行為,予以行為治療時,生氣不合作
,情緒激動難配合,拒絕吃藥,趟在床上不動,故 108/8/15 至 108/9/11 本院住院治療。

109.1 月,容易情緒激動,近兩天作勢要攻擊其他住民,故 109.1.17-109.1.22 住院治療。

出院後回護理之家,期間爸爸將家中初音娃娃丟掉,因此跟爸爸吵架,爸爸說要把初音娃娃
買回來,結果爸爸買成憤怒鳥,說要跟爸爸算帳,身體右邊傾,常低著頭往下看,執著想法
,與她人爭執衝突引起糾紛,所以送來急診處理安排住院。
