AI-generated summary
A 24-year-old male international student and graduate employee experienced his first acute psychotic episode in December 2022, triggered by workplace stress and unsubstantiated beliefs about colleague manipulation. Initial ED presentation was appropriate with normal investigations, but he left against medical advice. Admission to mental health unit followed police intervention; he improved on antipsychotic medication but ceased compliance after discharge in February 2023. Over three months he appeared stable and did not seek recommended GP follow-up. In May 2023, he died by suicide from the Tasman Bridge. Key clinical lessons: psychotic relapse occurred after medication non-compliance; inadequate follow-up after psychiatric discharge (single GP visit); no documented safety planning or crisis contact details; international students may have unique stressors and isolation; close liaison with workplace and family is valuable in ongoing monitoring after first-episode psychosis.
