Well to say that someone is mentally unbalanced is not the most scientific of diagnoses.

I'm going by the number of disorders she had and by the probability that she had an underlying condition that manifested itself at different times as bulimia or post partum depression or the tendency to inflict self-harm. If her psychological problems were indeed minor, then I think she should have been cured of one without having to get another disorder.

That's why I would guess that the bulimia, post partum depression and the tendency to inflict self-harm were not themselves the main disorders causing a mood imbalance; rather an underlying imbalance was probably causing the bulimia, post partum depression and the tendency to inflict self-harm. The imbalance could have remained the same but it may have manifested itself in different forms at different times: at one time, bulimia, at another, post partum depression, at another the tendency to self-harm.
