Diagnose the following patient. Make sure to provide evidence as to why you feel they have that disorder. Also, include a treatment plan.    Background: Sarah has a history of unstable relationships. She often feels intense emotions that seem to swing from feeling extremely happy to profoundly sad within days. These emotional shifts are often triggered by seemingly minor events, such as a friend’s change in plans or a perceived criticism. Daily Life: On a Monday, Sarah receives a text from a close friend, inviting her to a party. She feels elated, believing her friend truly values her. However, when Sarah doesn’t get a text back immediately about her plans for the weekend, she becomes anxious and assumes that her friend is upset with her or doesn’t want to spend time with her anymore. This misunderstanding spirals into an emotional episode where she feels overwhelmingly rejected and may contact her friend in an upset manner, seeking reassurance. Interpersonal Relationships: In her relationships, Sarah exhibits patterns of idealization and devaluation. She often views her friends and family as either perfect and worthy of love or as completely untrustworthy and harmful. When a friend forgets to invite her to an event, she feels abandoned, and her perception of that friend becomes drastically negative. This can lead to conflict, further isolation, and a cycle of intense anger and fear of abandonment.
