Ultramar you seem to read in to what you want and ignore what is some times said. Perhaps you should do direct quotes when you make a claim some one said some thing. Otherwise it's difficult to address your posts because I for one have no freaking idea how you come to the conclusions you got to claiming what was said. You make incorrect statements and when corrected do not acknowledge them but simply go on to another false claim.
I will try to address your last post the best I can despite it being all over the map with no direct quotes just say so's.

Certainly your entitled to your opinion
to think what ever you want. That goes for any one. What I am attempting to do here however is concentrate on facts using reliable sources. But thank you for your input. Please next time try to address specific points you make with quotes and claims with sources. Thank you.
Now for my opinion on what I think, I hate the term emotionally unstable personality disorder, I hope it stays in the UK as they do tend to more more emotional any way (my opinion of course) Borderline is 100% better IMHO as it identifies BPD at it's root being a combination of overlapping systems. The UK approaches psychology in many different ways then the US. I would not be able to get the meds that work best for me if I lived in the UK because they seem to think differently. I am most grateful for being in the USA for one more reason
