Yes.* Sometimes, clinicians are too eager to diagnose a 'difficult' client with a PD. One who makes a diagnosis of a PD in 10 minutes is ****ing nuts. I would be very wary of them.

Right now, there doesn't seem to be a uniform definition for BPD. It is often to misused. Difficult to treat female clients are usually the target of this. Some are given the diagnosis even if they have global developmental delay disorder. This is wrong.

I was once diagnosed with BPD and could not relate to much of it. Most of the core features like emptiness, self-hatred, relationship instability and emotional regulation weren't an issue for me. The only trait, I had was intense anger, because of severe bullying.

Note: Autism spectrum disorder like BPD is often misdiagnosed and overused. I have Asperger's. No other diagnosis has described me so well and from childhood. No clinician doubts my diagnosis nor do I. This (BPD) forum helped me sort out my diagnosis.
