I'd like to see the discharge paperwork. What the reporter is describing as the "broad basis of a 'personality disorder' ", is actually a specific psychiatric diagnosis. Personality Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified IS a specific diagnosis in the DSM-IV manual. It just doesn't tease out what type of personality disorder (Paranoid, Borderline, Antisocial, etc). If he has an actual diagnosis, then wouldn't that make it a medical discharge? It may also give a clue to his subsequent behavior that we're seeing now - living in a fantasy world, inability to accept responsibility for actions, manipulative behavior, etc.
I feel terrible for the girl and her family.
