Initially, it was suggested that borderline disorder bordered on, or overlapped with schizophrenia, non-schizophrenic psychoses, and neuroses such as anxiety and depressive disorders.3 Because it overlapped with so many other psychiatric diagnoses, it was commonly believed to be a “wastebasket” diagnosis, lacking in diagnostic precision and validity, and only useful for patients who did not fall clearly into other diagnostic categories. It also was thought that the disorder responded very poorly to treatment. Unfortunately, a large number of mental health professionals, apparently unfamiliar with the current scientific literature, still think that this is true.

As I tried to carefully explain in my limited ability and lack of command for the english language. MANY PROFESSIONALS STILL DO NOT AGREE WITH THE LABELING OF BPD. Indeed for decades and still even now, many professionals still disagree with the current structure for diagnosing BPD and feel it belongs under mood disorders.
AGAIN I AM NOT SAYING THIS BUT MERELY REPEATING IT. I COULD CARE LESS WHAT ANYONE BELIEVES AS I AM NOT TRYING TO PERSUADE ANY ONE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
Some one asked me to present links for the opposing views which I basically said WTF? Because many here in the thread have done a fantastic job doing just that. My position was and is to play the devil's advocate to keep the discussion fair. And when I was unable to refute a counter claim as the devil's advocate admitted as such.
So you think you have a strong refute> Good for you post it. I can guarantee you no matter how good you think it is it will NOT end this on going debate and disagreement in the mental health field. But for purposes of this thread I welcome it all as the main purpose of this thread is to educate and bring to the readers attention opposing ideas without trying to persuade them.
