Psychiactric Evaluation
part three
~ from the journal of Juliana Corman, D.P.~
Date: January 28, 1985
Patient: Christian Morgan
Initial Prognosis: Schizophrenia, Dementia
Diagnosis: Patient insists on meetings in the evening, never wanting to meet in the normal daytime schedule. Perhaps this stems from his belief that he is a 'superhero' of sorts. It remains that patient has not attended any meeting scheduled for daylight hours. Also of an important note, the patient does not always respond to his name when called. I have reason to believe that he may be using a false ID during our meetings. Administration reports that he always pays in cash, so there is no way to track him through health coverage. Patient will occasionally refer to himself in third person, calling himself 'the Technomancer'. I am unsure of its significance, but speaking from third perspective is often a sign of schizophrenia. Patient displays an uncanny ability with dates and times, although memory of recent days seems to evade him. Patient also tends to slip when speaking, using an anachronism that he is unaware of. Patient will speak of modern things with much enthusiasm, then seem to speak as if he lived in the early part of the century. Finally, patient will speak of 'past lives', obviously believing in reincarnation. While this in itself is not a sign of dementia, the patient speaks as though his past lives talk to him at opportune moments, and holds them responsible for certain actions.
Notes: Mr. Morgan is truly an odd case that deserves notation. The man's lucidity at times can be frightening, and the bizarre world he's concocted in his mind can be even more so. He will tell you he believes in many things, from alien intervention in our lives to the manifestation of supernatural powers in ordinary people. At the same time he will tell you that he absolutely does not believe in God or any other religious icon. Patient is convinced that he has led previous lives, and that the voices from those incarnations speak to him at odd times. This is Mr. Morgan's third visit (and I must note that he has missed two others - whatever the reality he's living in, it obviously conflicts with our set scheduling) and I see no hope in sight.
Suggestion: As much as I hate to do this, I believe that Mr. Morgan's mind has somehow suffered irreparable damage, and can only be helped by placing him in an institutional facility where he can no longer be a danger to anyone. He is possessed of great intellect, and could easily pass an examination determining him to be sane, but I will stand firmly behind my suggestion that he be removed from normal society as soon as possible. I have contacted Lieberwitz Mental Rehabilitation Center as to his condition, and we are in the process of scheduling a time for his apprehension.
