Your friend may or may not have it. It's hard to know and only a psychiatrist will really know.

Glad I could help :-)

I understand they kind of combine in a lot of areas it seems like once you are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD nothing else needs to be checked, it's as if ADHD ticks most of the boxes other simular conditions will be crossed off the list. Thank you so much for sharing that and i kind of hope she does have it otherwise she will have a very hard time trying to manage herself seeing as she is conviced she has grown out of ADD.

She will argue with me whenever it suits her and won't hold back or wait till another time to mention it is this part of BPD or ADD impulsivity?
