thanks for the reviews. i'm not exactly from the medical side so didn't understand the dissociatin u mentioned. when they explained "attached" it looked like being more affectionate to mom than dad and siblings. and about the abuse part now we have some reason to believe so... whatever all i can tell u is- its a pretty complicated case.we are trying to figure out if they are avoiding a legal issue by stating that she is mentally unstable!

thanks yaar! they are yet to do anything on her tests on her. as you know its due to the investigation that's going on. becoz as i've put it its only a suspected bpd. as a reply to other posts name of the patient i've put is fictitious . the patient was apparently leading a normal (as defined by family with whom she was) life. so i personally didn't feel it as a bpd. but i couldn't count on my experience for i'm new to this field. the case looked too fishy to me!

hi, it is a case that came in my unit. the patient reportedly fainted right after the murder. and everyone is as clueless as i am. the officer investigating the case ruled out the possibility of another person involved in the murder.(situational evidence and so so...)everything so far depends on the patient's statements. (it looks like that)what i'm trying to find out is, though bpd patients get violent very frequently, how many of them especially adolescents murdered the one they were centering on? and what is the possibility of it?

Hello Everyone! I've posted this in the psychiatry forum also but since i would like to receive views on this case i'm posting it here too... I just came across about a very interesting but unfortunate case. I would like to know your viewpoint on this case: A girl, Shanah, of 16 yrs, who killed her mother for no evident reason. Only thing that's known to the family is that, she was pretty much attached to her mom. And there was no fights, arguments or any such sort of provocations. After the incident, which happened at 12.30 am in the night, she comes to her brother's room and tells him that Mom is not getting up. The only previous history is of five separate incidents of shouting and shivering when Shanah was 11 yrs old.She was attended by a General Practitioner then. She was not taken to a psychiatrist at that point.But she was all right after that, for all these years. Now what I would like to ask you all is - 1) If it was a case of Borderline personality disorder(assuming), is it possible for her to commit this murder and forget it? 2) Is it possible that she had this problem and was managing to lead a perfectly normal life (I meant, the family who lives with her says she was absolutely normal) As you can guess she is in police custody now and the investigation is going on. And one thing is she is not able to explain how she did the murder and is changing the statements. Why i posted this case here is because i know many of you must have come across such cases previously and are really experienced in the field of psychiatry. Thanks....

the other day in the acute psychiatric unit there was a female patient, who was there for problems related to hyper sexual behaviour. her worst experiment within the unit was with one of the new junior resident, ron. he was in the nursing station, writing some instructions and going thro the file. our madam came to him and sat on the counter and was trying to seduce him. he kind of looked too busy and didn't raise his eyes from the file. she kissed him. again no reaction!! ok! then she put her hands in his jeans pocket! no reaction!!! she exclaimed, 'what a man!' and left. she just had to leave the scene and our romeo collected all the papers and ran out of the unit. i'm sure i don't have mention how the team, who were watching this show holding their breath (read it as laughter), reacted then!! hi hi....:)
