- 16:39with
- 16:40in
- 16:40nursing
- 16:40school.
- 16:41But
- 16:41nonetheless,
- 16:42I
- 16:42still

- 16:43it
- 16:43on
- 16:43here
- 16:44because

- 16:54be
- 16:54unfairly
- 16:55stigmatized.
- 16:56They
- 16:56can
- 16:56be
- 16:56challenging
- 16:57sometimes
- 16:57to
- 16:58work

- 17:05at
- 17:05times.
- 17:06Right.
- 17:06And
- 17:06so
- 17:06I
- 17:06think
- 17:06this
- 17:07population
- 17:07deserves
- 17:08an

- 17:10a
- 17:11lot
- 17:11of
- 17:11compassion.
- 17:11Cause
- 17:12this
- 17:12is
- 17:12a
- 17:12very
- 17:12serious
- 17:13personality
- 17:14disorder.
- 17:15And
- 17:15it.
- 17:15And
- 17:16so
- 17:16here's
- 17:16the
- 17:16pearl.
- 17:17The
- 17:17pearl
- 17:17is
- 17:17at
- 17:17approximately
- 17:186%.
- 17:18I've

- 17:19to
- 17:1910%
- 17:20in
- 17:20some
- 17:20of
- 17:20the

- 17:21but
- 17:21approximately
- 17:226%
- 17:22of
- 17:22individuals

- 17:24personality
- 17:24disorder
- 17:25eventually
- 17:25die
- 17:26by
- 17:26suicide.
- 17:27Again,
- 17:27the
- 17:27rates
- 17:28of
- 17:28range
- 17:28in
- 17:29the
- 17:29evidence
- 17:29anywhere
- 17:29from
- 17:305
- 17:30to
- 17:3010%.
- 17:31And
- 17:33that's
- 17:33not
- 17:33to
- 17:33say
- 17:34that
- 17:3452

- 17:41do
- 17:41it,
- 17:42they
- 17:42won't
- 17:42complete
- 17:42it.
- 17:43That's
- 17:435
- 17:43to
- 17:4410%.
- 17:44But
- 17:4452
- 17:45to
- 17:4584%
- 17:46will
- 17:46try.
- 17:47Now,
- 17:48of
- 17:48all,
- 17:49the
- 17:49one
- 17:50study
- 17:50showed

- 17:59attempt
- 18:00among
- 18:01all
- 18:01of
- 18:01them.
- 18:02Okay.
