Dear Sandy,
Thanks for the link.
I missed the part of the show where they described her as having Delusional Disorder.
That still does not make sense as a diagnosis.
Here is what your We MD link says:
Quote:
What Are the Symptoms of Delusional Disorder?
The presence of non-bizarre delusions is the most obvious symptom of this disorder. Other symptoms that mighty appear include:
An irritable, angry, or low mood
Hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not really there) that are related to the delusion (For example, a person who believes he or she has an odor problem may smell a bad odor.)

-In the show, Pete says that the patient is off her meds and acting euphoric.
-He tries to warn Violet.
-Then the patient commits a horrific crime that is extremely well planned out and that takes some skill.
The message boards at abc Private Practic are all lit up.
Some people are disturbed not only by the nature of the crime but the way that abc portrayed it.
They said that the plot device and the scene do not belong on a show like that -- which is basically a night time soap opera.
Pam,
I'm sorry that I can't find an episode recap for you.
The abc site will let you watch the show for free.
Dear Friend,
Thank you.
I promise myself that I am going to stop watching television and then I watch it anyway.
I need to find something else to do to relax. -- because this was not relaxing.
