Borderline Personality Disorder Psych Evaluation

She has made two suicide attempts by overdosing on prescribed medications, one as a teenager and one six months ago; she also reports chronic suicidal ideation, explaining that it gives her relief to think about suicide as a “way out.”

She has a history of addictions and has previously been hospitalized for a drugs overdose. When someone tries to take care of her, she might be hostile, caustic, and demeaning. She has a track record of having trouble at work with interpersonal interactions.
