5. I am not sure if this is Borderline Personality Disorder or Schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is actually easier to treat than drug addiction or Borderline PD.
Patients are usually compliant and stabilized on antipsychotics.

He actually sounds more bipolar with his history of violence.

I have not heard about the possibility he might have been psychotic.
But with his heavy drug use it is hard to tell.

But he cannot use NGRI because of his drug addiction.
Of course the attorney will try.
