Agreed about the self-harming; it's more of a coping mechanism, as strange as that sounds. I don't know so much about TBI, but many psychological conditions (BPD, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia) also manifest in the late teen years. I agree that her eyes look dead. She may have not been correctly diagnosed or diagnosed at all. FWIW, prozac seems to be a drug of choice by many prescribers. She may have needed something totally different, like an anti-psychotic. Then again, some people can have worse symptoms from psych meds than their actual condition until the right diagnosis/medication is achieved. It's a really frustrating "science," IMO.
What strikes me upon reading the various articles if "why" she says she helped DE, i.e., to be part of something secret and special. I wonder if she doesn't feel the way other people feel?
I really don't know what to think, apart from believing that she's responsible for doing these horrible things.
