BPD news - Toronto Star


Menu Courey, a swimmer on full scholarship at the University of Missouri, had borderline personality disorder and was desperate for help in 2011. The wait-list for free care at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto was one year, so her parents paid $44,000 for 28 days of in-patient treatment at a U.S. facility. Three days before she was discharged, Menu Courey swallowed 100 headache pills. She died two days later.
