At first I thought bipolar, then I read schizophrenia as a suggestion and I was a little surprised because she doesn’t seem that out of touch with reality. I have known several people with schizophrenia and they have a very difficult time functioning in the world. Another possibility is borderline personality disorder. This is another mental illness with negative connotations in the community. In the end, it doesn’t matter. They are all labels.(less)
