I think there is a wide variety of overlap in the symptoms of conditions. When DBT first came out Kaiser would only let you in the group if you had a diagnosis of Border Line Personality Disorder. My therapist wanted to get me in the group but she said I will have to give you that DX. We looked it up and decided I could qualify for it. I don't have it and I didn't want it in my chart so I said forget the group. It got me reading the DSM though and and I found out I had all kinds of symptoms of this and that.
There is an interesting discussion below. I like what the psychiatrist told the poster in the first post.
