2) 55yr old man charged with making obscene phonecalls by police. GP referral. Wife says he lost his job a year ago and hasn't been the same since. Probe questions related to sexual history and risk and the eventual diagnosis was impotence with some questions on management of impotence and risk of re-offending.

I think she is a PD 'borderline'???
Admission if adviced would be for OD management & then she should be followed up by Psychotherapy as Pharmacotherapy has very little role to play in PD's. But first she should undergo Personality testing i guess
