Case Scenario: Zoe is a 34-year-old woman who has been living with severe anxiety and depression for the past 10 years. She is also diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Zoe has been receiving support from a community mental health service but struggles to access appropriate care due to long wait times for appointments with specialists and inconsistent follow-ups. Additionally, Zoe's experience with employment has been affected by her condition-she has been discriminated against at work and had to leave multiple jobs due to a lack of workplace understanding regarding her mental health needs. Zoe's living situation is unstable as she faces challenges in securing housing due to her mental health status, leading her to stay with friends temporarily. Zoe wishes to advocate for better mental health services, including more accessible access to long-term therapy, support in the workplace, and housing assistance for people with mental health conditions.
