Description
Patient is a young man in his early 20's, with black hair, pale skin, dark eyes, and a skinny frame. His family are fish merchants, who recently became the nouve riche by inventing canned fish.

The patient seems to be stable enough, but with noticeably signs of anxiety which can be the cause of his thin frame. This man does not need any intense therapy or counseling. His delusions about the 'dead living' seem to be only just that. It is just an overactive imagination that the patient had created for himself, it is not harmful. He was able find peace with it. He has no other symptoms of schizophrenia and is aware of what he wants for the future. I would recommend a few sessions with me for his anxiety, but other then that he is perfectly
