Miss C appeared with dyed hair, wearing spectacles, and no makeup. She was tearful at the beginning of the session when she was talking about being admitted compulsorily. Miss C was overly friendly in the beginning, asking the case doctor to buy her snacks, trying to seek common ground with case doctor by expressing her religious and political inclination. She became more irritable when her request was turned down, and when they inquired about her manic symptoms, Miss C had a challenging attitude and questioned the case doctor's personal background information. Her speech was coherent and relevant but demonstrated pressure of speech. Her mood was labile but congruent. She did not admit to any hallucinations. Miss C had a grandiose idea about herself coming from a prominent family. There was no risk of suicide or of violent behavior. She had no insight about her manic relapse and her need for inpatient treatment.
