with epilepsy and do not see a doctor regularly. At 14 years, the patient was raped, and
since then, the patient has had free sex with many different men. At the age of,16, the
patient had seizures up to five times an ay, and one seizure was approximately five
minutes. The patient went to a neurologist and was regularly treated with valproic acid
and carbamazepine. At the age of 17 years, the patient often got angry when teased and
threatened with knives or scissors, had free sex with many men and went to a
psychiatrist. The patient has been treated five times in different mental hospitals
because he often runs away from home. Currently, the patient is being treated in the
psychiatric ward and is receiving 2 x 500 mg of valproic acid, 3 x 200 mg of
carbamazepine, 2 x 0.5 mg of Clonazepam and 1 x 50 mg of sertraline. At the time of
treatment, the patient is known to be HIV positive and does not need ARV therapy.
