I think I qualify for a few! Over the 15 or so years I've suffered from depression I think I've moved through one or two of those descriptions.
Heck you could label me ''emotionally unstable personality disorder'', ''dependant personality disorder'', you can put labels on the whole world!
The point is - what will it matter? I could place everyone in a little box if I wanted, but it doesn't heal me or them, it does not change the reality I am in, it just makes it seem some how more acceptable because 'at least it has a name'. If your A is suffering from any or all of those disorders, the fact of the matter is, they still need to seek help for their recovery themselves. If alcoholism is a symptom of another problem, they still won't recover until the pain of living their lives the way they are choosing becomes greater than the fear of letting it go.
