1) well taken. I had read there are fewer men with BPD.
2) what publications show this in a clinical supervised research study
3) I have never had emotional, physical or spiritual support. I have no friends not that I have not tried. But people stay away from me even with all the changes I had to make. I was a tormented teased and bullied for 13 years.
4) The issue with older and not getting proper treatment (in therapy for 34 years with ineffective, unprofessional therapists) unlike a younger person I have 40 years of flashbacks, nightmares, regrets and memories that involuntarily come into my brain every hour. I could go on but I think I have stated my opinion. I hope you don't take it the wrong way.
5) this is more for the insurance companies. If you don't do it their way you don't get paid as a doctor. Insurance companies RULE the medical world. I worked in healthcare for 12 years.
