I hope you get the help you need. I hope your diagnosis was from behavioral health. If not go see them now. Worry about boards later

For Psychosis and BPD you will absolutely be medically separated. Those are not things that develop from the Army so it will he found to be a pre-existing condition and you will most likely not rate any disability. You will get a small separation pay of a few thousand dollars. That's not a 100% prediction, but those conditions found in someone with only a few years of service will almost always be found to he preexisting conditions.

Given those diagnosis, yes, you will be medically discharged. The MEB process takes 6-12 months depending on COVID and if you choose to appeal at any point along the way.
