Jill has been unemployed for the past six months and reports difficulty with daily living activities such as taking care of her hygiene and managing her finances. She has a history of substance abuse and has been in and out of treatment programs. She reports that she often experiences intense mood swings, ranging from anger and irritability to sadness and despair, which can occur suddenly and without apparent reason. Jill is tearful that her new boyfriend of two weeks is going on vacation with his family and did not invite her to go with him.
