They rarely ever agree.

Once a psychiatrist makes up their mind on what diagnosis a client has, they become severely myopic.

The criteria for BPD is so broad and open to interpretation. I find this very disturbing.

Some people get labeled with BPD, because they self injure or are just challenging patients even if they do not meet the minimum criteria. This can cause a lot of harm and is an example of how BPD can be misused.
