what do you think? have you read the criteria for yourself? bpd is so often misdiagnosed....oftentimes it is bp or ptsd.....I have had several pdocs dx me with it in 15 min sessions because I have a thick file and was anxious and cried when I saw them. they thought I was being dramatic, one of the hallmarks of bp. so because I had been in a lot, because I had reactions to many of the meds I was on, not because I was complaining, but they didn't read that, only assumed and it was my anxiety making me cry not drama. and that is only one of the criteria. suicidal due to depression due to bipolar not treats of suicide because of bpd. dissociation because I have dissociative disorder, not bpd. still even if they were bpd traits, I never met the five criteria necessary to have bpd. they just like jumping to that conclusion. so discuss the criteria with your current t before you waste the money on a pdoc visit
