Thanks for the quick response.

So taking into account her desire for moments of being surrounded with people versus privacy, the hasty marriage in Vegas, the quitting of her job for a couple of years, and minor things like getting nearly her entire back tattooed, lip pierced, and recent giving of the finger in public... if we were forming a differential diagnosis, we would have to add bipolar disorder to the list.

I would give her the Mental State Exam and possibly start her on haloperidol 5 mg PO if she has not had previous seizures, problems breathing, liver or heart problems. I assume she doesn't have glaucoma.

Obviously I'm mostly kidding.
