M ental I llness C oncerns A ll	Neaven is describeda sintelligent. Till the age of eleven things went well enough. His mother remarried, bringing withthat two much older step children . There was then a baby ten years younger than N. Secondary schooling went badly, interrupted by non compliance, suspension, expulsion and shifts to alternative educational places which did not survive. N. got into a subcriminal culture behaviour drug taking and increasing levels of violence, accumulating grudges which he sustained into retaliation and revenge. Early professional appreciation notices paranoia, anxieties, anger, and moods. But the Inquiry report gives no clinical descripions or clinical assessment processes, just listing the labelling. Clinical appreciation depends vey often upon the actual wording and context of what the patient actually said terma such as paranoia are slovenly and lazy not clinical terms to be used by anybody but qualified psychiatrists, who will not use them selves without the underpinning of a quotation of the actual content of the words used by the patient. He moves into adult psychiatry where the story is of forensic reference and involvement without any one wanting to take him on, or take him in. somewhere. Hwe stays in general psychiatry Units , just as someone they have to get on wit as nobody else will. One psychiatrist (no. 5 ) is told of 'voices' when N describes abnormal thoughts but he does not accept these as innocent, as from a genuine contribution. another pointer to ideas of influence - his stepfather intruding ideas into his thinking - is not hghly regarded. N. does talk about stalking people. A lot of professionals think he is dangerous and intimidating None think he has schizophrenia That is what is concluded aftert his trial and conviction, when he is observed in an uncontaminated environment unde control. Medication is prescribed, once at the recommendation of a clinical psychologist unlicensed to prescribe himself. As is commonly the case this Inquiry Report does not detail medicaton in dosage or adequate description. The clinical professional sees Neaven over eighteen months and Neaven remembers that time as helpful. Neaven is regarded as a turbulent adolescent drop out, surviving in an underworld with his own kind.
