Nova Scotia Health is looking for a patient that has gone missing from a Dartmouth hospital.

They say Adam Christopher Atkinson is 5'7″ and 129 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair.

When last seen, the 35-year-old was wearing a grey sweater, green jacket, black pants and black cap and he was carrying a black backpack.

“The patient's risk to himself and others increases with the length of time he is away from treatment,” Nova Scotia Health said in a news release.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency.”
