Actually Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) needs a name change. It's really a emotional personality disorder (EPD?). I think a lot of us have some traits of BPD too, but not enough to be comorbid. Also imho I think most people with BPD never seek treatment. I also think personality disorders carry a heavier stigma then mood disorders. I wish I can remember where I read that according to a few psychiatrists, BPD should not even be listed in a personality disorder because in their opinion it's more of a mood disorder. Who knows. Next year they may come out with a new label too.
