To be honest, I don't know about yourself and where you come from as to how you have been treated, but the case of myself... I think pdocs are far to quick to jump in with bpd. I don't even meet half of the criteria but that's what they slapped on me!! I am arguing my diagnosis because I was admitted to hospital after an o.d, seen by one pysch 3 times in four weeks and Then bpd was put down on the table. They saw me at my worst also because I was taken off all meds and was off them weeks prior. I'm really not happy about what they have done to me. I clearly have a problem. My head is messed up when not medicated but I'm arguing the toss because I don't think they could be bothered to assess me properly or in a decent timeframe. I want an accurate diagnosis before I'm happy not one they just plucked out because its like a blanket disorder they use cos they aren't sure. I don't know what I have. Maybe post natal depression still? Although I think I'm a bit too messed up to be just solely depressed. I suspect cyclothymia but I'm gonna keep on hounding until I get a satisfactory answer.

I don't suppose the diagnosis matters tho, if the treatment given is effective!!
