Long term for instance would be me. I had a breakdown in 2002 and have been inpatient way too many times. I have been diagnosed with bipolar type 1, generalized anxiety disorder, and bpd. The first two require daily medication which I will most likely have to take for the rest of my life along with therapy I am so in need of and can't seem to find in my area. I have been on disability for my mental illness since 2004 because I cannot function in society like a lot of other people.
