hey there. i find that p-docs (and psychologists and general practitioners and councellors and so on and so forth) vary in response to the dx.

it is true that people used to get a bad rap for it than they do now.

i think the article is a little one sided...

the reason why some clinicians won't take too many people with bpd dx is because of burnout. clinicians need to look after themselves too and people with bpd are often being regarded as high maintenence (compared to people receiving first time treatment for anxiety / depression and / or needing a new script for their medication).

good news is that there are pretty good treatment outcomes with dbt and dbt programs are designed to help prevent therapist burnout

there is a lot of hope for people with the dx
and that attitude is starting to filter through clinicians
(slowly slowly)

but yeah stigma is there...

thats why i typically think dx of personality disorder is best aboided unless you need the dx to get the treatment
