What illness does Glen Closes character in Fatal Attraction suffer from?
http://www.scientificamerican.com/articl… I agree that the character in Fatal Attraction is a classic, though possibly overdramatized, case of borderline personality disorder. When I’m asked what borderline is, I characterize it as “I hate you; don’t leave me!” which is kind of a summary of the instability in the life of someone with borderline. As the link above shows, Scientific American supports this theory and other psychiatric experts do, too.
