I quit reading it two paragraphs into it. Her amateurish perspective is certainly of someone that simply majored in Psychiatry -AND NOTHING ELSE.

I too have done homework, not on the internet. I think it depends on how one is defining the diagnosis of BPD. Like I said, A LOT of women are misdiagnosed with it there are scholarly articles to back this up. I'm not saying this person is an authority, is she even someone of note in the field?
But all you have to do is read the DSM and case studies to get a clear picture. It is very complex and shouldn't be handed out as a diagnosis lightly (nor should anti social PD and a lot of others). Competent psychiatrists and/or therapists do not diagnose children and teenagers with BPD. They could be flagged as a risk for developing it possibly, but not diagnosed with it.
