I'm working on a power point for my work about the updates from DSM-IV to DSM-V for mood and anxiety disorders. The audience is nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, peer support workers, and rehab staff. I'm doing this because I'm the team NP, they do not know about my illness. This is my section, the other diagnostic categories are covered by a couple of my co-workers, because we are presenting together.
Anyways, I am looking for feedback about a few slides which are about distinguishing BP from BPD. Please let me know your thoughts. I cover the details of criteria for BP I, BP II, and Cyclothymia, as well as describe mania, hypomania, depression, and mixed, in other slides which I won't post here. I wish there was a way to attach the power point, but I don't know how. So here are the slides I am wondering about
:
Slide 1:
BP versus BPD
•BP mood states are persistent, BPD fluctuates within the day in response to situation
•Can be difficult to distinguish BP II from BPD
•Can co-occur
Slide 2:
Symptoms Common to both
•Affective instability
•Episodes of anger or rage
•Impulsive behavior
•High risk behavior
•Substance abuse (not criteria, but common)
Slide 3:
Unique to BPD
–Idealization/devaluation
–Black and white thinking
–Unstable relationships
–Fear of abandonment
–Identity disturbance
–Feelings of emptiness
–Self harm
What do you think?
