For Every Action, There's an Equal and Opposite Reaction.

                 The next case I had to check into was the one that caused me to get my job. Apparently the psychologists before me had failed to do her job and let a young boy by the name of Hamlet go back into the everyday world. Although the psychologists knew that this boy was seeking revenge she let him go because she felt bad for the poor kid.

                Hamlet came from a rather wealthy family from Europe. He was next in line to take over his father’s business. However, Hamlet Senior, Hamlet’s father, passed very suddenly and Hamlet became very suspicious. He was suspicious because his mother married his uncle within a day of his father’s death.

                According to the previous psychologist’s notes, Hamlet was a drama major at a prestigious institute near his hometown and he had to produce a new play to be performed within months of his father’s death. So he decided to produce a play that re-enacted his father’s murder. His uncle and now his new stepdad along with Hamlet’s mom showed up to the play and when the Climax of the play draws near, his uncle leaves and heads outside to pray.

                With the reaction he received from his uncle, Hamlet was sure that his uncle had murdered his father. So he followed him out and held a pistol out towards his uncle. But, he hesitated and luckily his uncle turned to look at shouted for help before Hamlet could say what he wanted to and pull the trigger. His uncle and mother soon after, convinced him that he might need to take a break from school and come to the Institute here.

                Soon after he had quit seeing  his girlfriend (right after a tremendous argument in which he said he would never want to marry her) and lost one of his best friends that was trying to get the inside scoop on what was going on so that he could tell everyone else at the institute. He headed towards our Institute here.

                Unfortunately, Hamlet developed a friendship with one of the doctors. That doctor just so happened to be the one that signed off on his release statement to say that he was completely sane and in the norm. Sadly, Hamlet’s ex-girlfriend passed away and it triggered his emotions back into a downward spiral. He soon went back to his house with a pistol in search of his uncle. He met him in the kitchen and Hamlet’s uncle knocked the gun out of his hand.

                They were swinging at each other and then both managed to get a knife. Hamlet was stronger because he was younger and in a final attack he stabbed his uncle in the left lung. As he did, His uncle stabbed Hamlet in the stomach. Both astonished and in shock, they both went to the tile floor. His uncle died only a few minutes after the incident. Hamlet was found hours later and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance but later died that night.

                The previous psychologist that worked failed to do her job and because of her failing to do it, two people lost their lives. Hamlet suffered from abandonment. He felt that those people that supported him and loved him had all turned their backs on him for their own selfish reasons, killing his father in the process. The trauma of such events occurring all in such a short period of time could of cause a number of issues but, he would have probably went on to live a normal life with continuous counseling and a daily anti-depressant. Hamlet was not insane, however he was clinically depressed.
