THE GIRL WHO WOULD NOT SIT - CASE REPORT

Shevonne Matheiken ; Psychiatric Trainee East London Foundation Trust, London, UK

Sažetak

A 21 year old girl presented with severe fear of contamination leading to 11 hours of cleaning per day and refusal to sit down
anywhere except at home or in mother’s car. She also had a moderate depressive episode secondary to social stressors and further
isolation due to her lack of time to socialize as cleaning was her priority. She was supported according to the biopsychosocial model
of care i.e. An antidepressant (Sertraline), 1:1 psychology and alternative housing away from precipitating and perpetuating
stressors. She improved significantly over 6 months, but the cultural issues and stigma continued to hinder the longer-term care
plans. The importance of understanding the beliefs and customs of the Travellers’ community is highlighted with this case report.
