No, Borderline Personality Disorder is a CLUSTER B DISORDER.
Dependent Personality Disorder is a CLUSTER C DISORDER.
Big difference. They have difference behaviors and different motives. Sometimes it takes a while to distinguish the disorders within a cluster; for example: Histrionic compared to BPD, but over time one usually stands out.
With Borderlines, they scream of emptiness and ooze of abandonment issues. Furthermore, like Antisocial personality disordered and Narcissistic personality disordered people, they break boundaries for their needs.
