There is a wide spectrum also for BPD to mild to sever and not everyone exhibits all the same symptoms and Bipolar can be accompanied with BPD. At least BP is treated with medication. There is no medication for BPD unless depression and Bulimia needs to be treated.
Go for a second opinion then. You have that right......not sure why you would want to be labeled as BPD.

Not sure she said she wanted to BE labeled anything, it sounds to me as if they just want an answer for some unexplained behaviors. It certainly a relief to me to hear that some of the strange things I feel and do have a reason behind them, a cause and a SOLUTION. What is the root of certain things... and if it is indeed BPD an array of medications are available to treat certain debilitating
symptoms,(though none specifically formulated for BPD) irrational thinking, obsessions, delusions, anxiety, self-harm (yes there is a specific med used for that) impulsive actions, etc.
