Patient’s Chief Complaints:

History of Present Illness

MM states she believes her boyfriend is cheating on her, which her boyfriend denies. She states she can hear two women talking about her boyfriend and her, how they have sex with her boyfriend and how KB isn’t good enough for him. This has been occurring for a few weeks now and the voices mock her daily. Her boyfriend has been caught cheating in the past and she is now wondering if the women she hears talking about her boyfriend are real or not. She has not asked anyone else if they can hear the women talking because what they have to say is so negative. She hears these women talking mostly at home with her boyfriend, especially at night, but sometimes she hears them when she is out too, especially when she is out in public with her boyfriend.
