Question: My friend loves to date different guys, have sex with them and, after a few weeks or months, dump them. She is a great liar and her mood swings are terrible. She is also an expert in toying around with men's feelings, and she loves self-inflicted pain. She loves to read people's mind and play psycho. She is always on her guard against people. This has been going on since she was a teenager and now she is 27 years old.
Is this kind classified as mental illness? Is it very serious and how can I help her?
