Document Summary

A month later, her husband found her holding a knife to her own throat in the bathroom, and she was again hospitalized. During this hospitalization, yates told a psychologist that she had been having visions and hearing voices since the birth of her first child. A few months later, yates"s father died, and she began to suffer from depression again. During this hospitalization, yates was placed on suicide watch and was observed as being/nearly catatonic and possibly delusional. Two weeks later, yates was discharged at her own and her husband"s request, though she continued to receive out-patient care. The psychiatrist who discharged her recommended that someone stay with her at all times and that she not be left alone with her children.
