His head was shaved and appeared to be pale. He has a tattoo on his left hand and left arm representing his gang and his clan respectively. The client has a pleasant personality, was cooperative and cheerful.
The client was informed of having mental problems and was bought to NCMH escorted by his jail guard on May 1, 2008 from Leyte City Jail. He stabbed and killed his two-year old son and was charged with Parricide. The client was already imprisoned twice in Leyte for two counts of physical injury. He was also rehabilitated twice for his drug use and twice for his mental illness between 2005 and 2006. The client believes that he is normal because he is not anymore thinking about unwanted acts and is now able to control himself.
The client’s illness started in 2006 while in the bus on his way back to Leyte. He started having dreams of a being (Kapre) telling him to kill his son for the protection of the human race. This being controlled the client’s mind and body leading him to stab his son twice on the chest. After which, he slashed his own wrists and stabbed himself twice on his chest. The incident happened on September 2006. He was imprisoned on October 1, 2006 until his recent transfer to NCMH. The client was advised to stay at NCMH for three months before attending the hearing.
The client was a consistent shabu drug user for twenty years; starting when he was still in first year high school. Unlike before, he can now sleep and eat well.
The client is 33 years old with two sons (one deceased) from a past relationship. He worked at 711 Alabang as a security guard. His parents had been separated for 25 years now and he is the second child in a family of five.

While analyses of the client’s concentration span, visual motor speed, long term memory, social judgment, logical reasoning, social intelligence, inductive reasoning capacity and learning ability were poor. On the other hand, analysis of the client’s visual memory was impaired.

The client seems to be aware of all of the above and appears to be aware of various aspects of work at work and also his other interests. This may be due to a mix of factors in each case. A client (who is working in a non‐traditional position due to his work schedule or personal circumstances) may also be aware of these factors. However, not every client is aware of the importance of some of these things to his work. There are many individuals who may be unaware in this situation of that client’s work and who, in turn, may also be unaware of the other factors that may lead the case for impairment or even dismissal.

There can hardly be any reason for a client to be aware of work at work and to be unaware of their surroundings. Although work related and professional contexts may act as an indicator of his mental and behavioral impairment, work related contexts do not make the subject of work at work (if at all) aware of other activities of a person. There may also be a case where a client should be aware of one or more of the factors that are in turn related to his work. The client may have been aware for a considerable amount of time when working as both a supervisor and for a non‐traditional occupation but, under normal circumstances, the client does not know that it would be inappropriate or inappropriate for him to work for a non‐traditional occupation. Although work related contexts do not act as the cause of being aware of work at work and, where it is inappropriate to do so, to a lesser extent than work related contexts, those activities are more likely to cause a person to be aware of work at work.

In the past it has been suggested that the visual motor speed and long term memory of different patients is related to the age at diagnosis, even though there are no further findings. This finding is supported by findings of an earlier study, in which we found that while a child younger than 7 years of age is less likely to experience visual problems at the age of 3 months than a child from 12 months to 6 months of age. A previous study in Spain was based on the use of more than 90 000 patients, but is still ongoing
