The PMHNP is evaluating a new patient in the outpatient psychiatric clinic with a complaint of “bizarre and odd behaviors”. While evaluating T.O., she seems to be laughing and denying that anything is wrong with her and everyone is “just out to get me.” She also states that she does not need any treatment.

She also has been putting foil on her windows and TV so the government cannot see her. Which of the following statements is true?
