You can't have a borderline DX until you're 18. You can have borderline anyway though.

Honestly I don't think five weeks is much. I mean if you were in acute pain for a broken bone, yea then five weeks is.

Around here, 20 years ago. unfortunately patients were not told their DX. It was said to have negative influence on the patient. I'm glad they even tell now.

If your doc is reluctant to give you a DX, and you have borderline traits, the DX might be BPD (I'm just totally speculating so don't take this too seriously), and there is a myth in the mental care world that if you tell a BPD what they have, they will explode and disturb the order of the universe.
