The Haunted
Interlude 1: Medical Report - Yuka and Narumi – 519 words
Medical Report:
Date: 28th September, 2011
Time: 1540 hours
Written By: Dr. Makoto Hyuuga
Patient: Yuka Azumi
Miss Yuka Azumi was admitted to Christheaven Asylum on the 27th of September. Previously diagnosed with persistent Hypermania, her current symptoms indicate Manic-Depressive Disorder (MDD), also known as Bipolar Disorder (BD).
The preceding psychiatrist handling this case issued medication to combat initial symptoms of long-term insomnia and a general state of mania. A prolonged period of intense depression followed by a suicide attempt occurred two months after the initial consultation. These facts have led us to believe that the initial diagnosis (refer to attached report) may be inaccurate.
Miss Azumi was found with her wrists slit on the afternoon of the 29th of July with her boyfriend, Narumi L. Anju. After treatment and a period of hospitalisation, she was recommended to Christheaven for further treatment for an apparent psychological disorder.
After she came in for her initial consultation on the 26th of September, various tests along with a psychological profile confirmed to be matching that of a victim of Bipolar Disorder, we have changed her initial diagnosis to one of MDD/BD.
Severe self-harm tendencies and a highly unstable personality have led us to admit Miss Azumi for further observation. Institutionalisation will last until we believe she is stable, whereupon she is free to leave the asylum, and return to her normal life, with medication. Therapy sessions will begin on the 30th of September, 2011 in the meanwhile.
At the time of this report, Miss Azumi has been admitted to a ward in the North Wing of the Christheaven Asylum. She is currently stable and sedated. Any additional details about Miss Azumi will be discussed in further reports after treatment is administered.
Of note is her partner, Narumi L. Anju, who suffers from clinical depression. He was admitted into the institution in August 2011. Further details will be discussed in his own personal report, attached in the Annex of this document.
Miss Azumi has been granted permission to attend joint therapy sessions with Mister Anju because both patients appear more receptive in each other's presence. However, monthly individual sessions are still required.

Patient: Narumi L. Anju
Mister Narumi L. Anju was referred to Christheaven asylum after initial symptoms of Clinical Depression (CD) were diagnosed by his family doctor on the 1st of August, 2011.
Mister Anju had previously suffered from CD in his teenage years due to work-related stress as well as possible family problems. After medication was issued, and his CD was managed in 2005, he went six years without any relapse of his condition.
In the fallout of the suicide attempt of his girlfriend, Miss Yuka Azumi, the relapse of his CD brought him to consult Christheaven's resident psychiatrist, Dr. Makoto Hyuuga. He was admitted shortly after due to increasingly disruptive episodes.
Mister Narumi is currently on antidepressants to help him cope with his condition. Monthly consultations with a therapist or a psychiatrist are also required.
Recommendations may change upon further observation.
