Abstract

This is a case of a Muslim medical student who sought psychiatric consultation because of suicidal behaviors and declining academic performance, diagnosed with Borderline Personality and Major Depressive Disorder. It was later discovered that she had gone through various instances of physical, emotional and sexual trauma since she was a child. These histories of transgenerational trauma were explored throughout the course of evaluation, including how these experiences had affected her current condition.
