My diagnosis was very quick... The sessions I went to lasted about 15 minutes each and I was diagnosed after a second or so session... So I guess my concerns about wheather it's right or not are justified. Anyway I am not sure how serious the doctor is about it because my diagnosis exactly is BPD (Borderline features).
