What is the difference if any between the terms Borderline Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Organization? After being in psychotherapy for the last 20 years my psychiatrist is no longer practicing. He wrote a referral letter in order for me to see a new psychiatrist. This is one of the terms that he wrote to describe my condition: "Lizzie has chronic anorexisa nervosa and a long standing anxiety disorder. This is all within the context of a borderline personality organization".
Up until reading this letter I was under the impression that my condition was one of anxiety and depression along with the eating disorder. I had no idea that a had a borderline personality disorder.
What I'm trying to establish is does this mean that I do indeed have BPD? If so, why would this information been kept confidential for all these years. As a patient don't I have a right to know about my condition?
