FLEABAG & Borderline Personality Disorder - Counseling Student's Op-Ed

Video essay assignment for a skills course at CACREP accredited Professional Clinical Counseling program. Currently studying to get my LPC. The assignment was to pick a character from a television show and do a write up on them as if they were a patient. I chose to do mine on the BBC Three & Amazon Prime original series "Fleabag," created by, written, and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge. (I took some creative liberties with my interpretation of the assignment given the show's 4th wall breaking motif.) Sections: -Case Summary Identifying information & employment history Presenting problem Medical, psychiatric, & substance abuse history Social supports Resources & spiritual factors Cultural & diversity considerations Mental Status Exam (MSE) Preliminary DSM-5 diagnosis (and differentials) Treatment & goals Z-codes (listed throughout as mentioned) References *content warning: language and mentions of sexual conduct
