HISTORY OF PRESENTING ILLNESS:
The patient complaints started a few days ago, she said she was concern about her
eldest sister who was previously married and now had been divorce. Currently her
sister and the family are living with her under one roof. She mentions that her sister
have schizophrenia since childhood, and that she was really worried about her sister
1
life. She also mention that she was worried if the same thing will happen to her and
this brought her to feel no spirit, tired and also worried. She was feeling sleepy and
tired even when it is in the morning, she explain that she will sleep from Maghrib
prayer time till the morning and still feel tired. She said even without the medication,
she still feel sleepy and tired.
The patient onset of illness started in 1996 when she was in her early adult age of
19. She was a college student who rented a house in Selayang mansion, she was
having problem with the landlord. The landlord all of a sudden, rented the house to a
group of boys without telling her. The landlord also locks the house door using a new
key and that she can’t come into her house. Because of this event she develop the
symptoms of anxious when in a crowded place and in tense situation, low mood,
sleepless, not stable, loss of appetite, dizzy, and feeling weak in doing activities even
a simple one. She also said that because of the problems she feel like they are animal
that can understand to what she’s saying. She did specify that there is a bird (burung
gagak) speaking to her about her problems and give advice to her. Beside the bird she
also claims that she can talk to the cats as well. She explains that she never had a
rough situation in her life before and that is her first time accounting a problem by
herself. During that time her parent only brought her to see bomoh and ustaz to cure
her but, she said there were no improvement with her condition.
Later in December 1997 after a year with duration of untreated illness, her family
then brought her to see general practitioner from Clinic Ehsan in Kangar to seek a
professional help. She is then being reffered to Psychiatric Department in Hospital
Tuanku Fauziah (HTF). She then has been given medication due to her illness. She
did mention about being hospitalized for a week for her illness but she can’t
remember when it was.
In 2003, she married as a second wife. She married willingly to her husband and
knows that her husband has a wife before her. She was living in Putrajaya and work
there as a government servant. Her husband knows about her mental illness condition
and supportive. She drives from Putrajaya to Kangar back and forth for her regular
follow up.

After a year in 2004, she was pregnant with her first child. She was very happy to
have the baby. She delivers the baby in HTF, but her baby has to be treated in NICU
for about 3 weeks. She then said she had a suicidal thought at that time, she said she
feel worthless and does not deserve to live anymore. She tries to commit suicide by
overdosing her drugs.
In 2007 she transfers her work to Perlis. She transfers from the Custom
Department in Putrajaya to Insolvency Department in Kangar. She said she had
difficulty to adjust to her new office environment. She has problems to get along with
her colleagues and her boss. This was due to her current condition which her
colleagues did not understand. She often asks for leave and always have medical
certificate for her illness and yet her colleagues did not believe her. They see her as a
normal healthy person that did not need to ask for a leave. She felt unhappy for this
and usually she was alone in the office doing her work and did not talk much during
working period. She felt her colleagues did not like her, and feel going to work is a
burden to her.
She also mentions that her relationship with her husband is not so good. Her
husband currently works in Kuala Lumpur and only came to see her once every two
weeks. When ask about did her husband give her living expenses, she said her
husband did not miss it. But she did mention that she rather her husband did not went
back to Kangar at all to see her, because it just give her burden.
On 2008, she was pregnant with her second child. She mentions that her husband
did not give enough attention despite of her pregnancy. She feels that the first wife
has all of her husband life. She feels she can’t move on anymore and again try to
overdose herself with the medication even when she was pregnant. Despite the
suicide attempt, the baby was delivered normal.
During the period from 2009- Early 2010, she continues her follow up in HTF
and sometimes will come to the psychiatric department to tell her problems. Mostly
her problem evolves around her workplace and family.
Until recently she came to the Psychiatric Department to complain about her
