“Regarding his stress disorder, the records show that Thomas was taking Xa-nax when he was first incarcerated. The psychiatrist initially planned to reduce his Xanax prescription and eventu-. ally replace it with Ativan, but, after learning of a history of substance abuse by Thomas, she decided not to prescribe Ativan, and instead encouraged Thomas to deal with his stress through counseling, including grief counseling and crisis management counseling.”
