Symptom narrative

The patient developed severe anxiety and paranoid delusions within weeks after receiving the booster shot. These continued 5-6 months until he tried the anti-anxiety drug Lexapro, which appeared to solve the problem within a few days. However, 4 years later he committed suicide on November 11, 2025, leaving a note indicating that the same anxiety and paranoid delusions had returned. He had everything to live for - a long, happy marriage, 3 adult children, an adored grandchild, plenty of money, no vices or scandals.
