I thought this was very interesting, actually. Some of what she writes could have less of a nasty slant, but from what I've learned much of this is accurate of true sufferers of BPD. Many in the field think the diagnosis is given out far too often. From what I've experienced and learned, many people have BPD traits.

A lot of women with Aspergers and ADHD are misdiagnosed as BPD. It's easy since they share traits like emotional dysregulation, apparent lack of empathy, inability to connect emotionally and poor judgement to name a few. After reading an article like this it can be devastating to the self esteem of some people who share characteristics and are struggling. There's a need for clinicians who can look deeper than behaviors that have become so synonymous with the disorder that the term is tossed around very loosely "oh, she's so borderline...". It really does a disservice to so many people.
