Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Schizophrenia, Other Psychotic Disorders, and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders

RANSCRIPT OF VIDEO FILE: 

OFF CAMERA Ms. Branning, Mr. Nehring asked suggested you see me. He said your having some issues at work. 

MS. BRANNING You could call them that. 

OFF CAMERA What kind of difficulty are you having at work? 

MS. BRANNING Well Mr. Nehring wants to fire me. 

OFF CAMERA Why do you think Mr. Nehring wants to fire you? 

MS. BRANNING Because Eric is in love with me. And it's probably getting in the way. And he wants to fire me. 

OFF CAMERA Who is Eric? 

MS. BRANNING Eric is my supervisor. 

OFF CAMERA Are the two of you in a relationship? 

MS. BRANNING No! Eric has his own girlfriend, I have my own boyfriend. But Mr. Nehring got it in his head that this is my fault. And they've been ganging up against me. 

OFF CAMERA What happened to make you feel this way? 

MS. BRANNING Eric is lustful for me. Lust. Lustful. 

OFF CAMERA Well has Eric done anything inappropriate? 

MS. BRANNING No, he doesn't have to. 

OFF CAMERA What do you mean? 

MS. BRANNING Well, he has this way of walking toward me and he gives me the easiest assignments to do and he asks me to voice my opinion a lot in our weekly meetings. And I'm beautiful. I mean, not to be boastful or anything but I'm a strong woman. And people are attracted to that. And others, like Mr. Nehring feel threatened by it. He probably feels I could replace him in a couple years. And I could. 

OFF CAMERA But there have been no instances of sexual harassment. 

MS. BRANNING No. And now they want to fire me, and it's probably because they don't want me to get in the way of their day. I'm probably a distraction or something. 

OFF CAMERA According to Mr. Nehring you haven't made a sale in three weeks. 

MS. BRANNING Oh, it's been a slow time period. I guess it wouldn't be bad thing if they fired me. I mean after all of this, all the bad it's done for my health. You know I should really sue for discrimination; you know the stress and the health problems. 

OFF CAMERA You've been having health problems? 

MS. BRANNING Yes. Yes. It keeps getting worse. 

OFF CAMERA Can you describe it for me? 

MS. BRANNING Well you know there's this pain in my neck, it aches, it spreads to my back, I think there's a lump, right here. I'm really worried. 

OFF CAMERA And what do you feel is the cause?

 

MS. BRANNING I told you, pain, suffering, broken heart. I think it's cancer. 

OFF CAMERA: Have you been seen by a doctor? 

MS. BRANNING: No. But it's probably cancer. And it's slowly killing me. And it's all because of them. And Eric's obsession with me. 

OFF CAMERA Ms Branning, I don't think you have to worry, a broken heart can't cause cancer. 

MS. BRANNING: You never know until it happens.
