Assault and Battery – and Arrows

 


Vanessa was a woman in her late 20’s, who lived on a social housing estate with her two sons, aged 6 and 8. Vanessa had bipolar affective disorder. Over a two year period, I had had to assess her under the Mental Health Act on 8 separate occasions, invariably during a hypomanic episode.

I thought I knew Vanessa well. And that was my mistake.

Warning: Contains swearing. And arrows.
