Absolutely without a doubt i know this was Borderline Personality disorder. I've studied it in and out in college and on my own time so I know. Also i have Borderline, i can't see them doing a better job at portraying it, it was nearly flawless in every way possible. The families, Chris O'Donnell character, the effect on the families, perfect. I ran my boyfriend through the ringer just like Drew, did the same things almost, have the same behavior yet not as bad now. I saw myself in Drew's character, she was absolutely brilliant.

I agree except back then, terms like "borderline" and "bipolar" weren't used. It was all lumped together as manic depressive.
