I found this post very informative and although it is older, I just wanted to comment that I do believe my sister fits all the above. However as much as I want to get a 72 hour mental hold and get her on some meds to help I think that she will manipulate and fool the doctors.

She has always had issues and I understand her childhood had problems but a few other characteristics is that she seems to protray permenent parinia, narcistic, and conartist attributes. Did the drugs cause this no not 100% but like with many legal perscription they too can also bring out certain underlying mental illness.

The alcohol and drugs do often bring out or create on going paranai and wow there you have it a mess for that of the person and those around. I just wish I knew the stats on homeless and mental illness however, a lack of insurance and its unfortunate.
