The DSM seems to come out with a new version every 7 years. Additionally, the people who wrote the DSM-5 will likely come out with a DSM-5-TR version before they come out with a DSM-6. So, it'll probably be at least 14 years before we even see a DSM-6.

Out of curiosity, though, why do you think DSM-6 will do away with personality disorders?

Anyway, I'm fairly certain I meet the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder, but it's a tricky diagnosis when you're BP and not stable. (I'm rapid cycling.) I've thought about bringing it up to my therapist, but I don't feel I need to at this time.

I'm surprised I wasn't diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder, though... because that's totally independent from mood instability (in my opinion). I had a neuropsychological evaluation done in the past and the psychologist said (in her words) that I have "an avoidant personality", yet never diagnosed me with Avoidant Personality Disorder. She even went on to say that I had "DSM-oriented scale elevations on the Depressive Problems, Borderline Personality Problems, Avoidant Personality Problems, Antisocial Personality Problems, and Attention Deficit/Hperactivity problems scales which were all in the Clinical Range (>97th %tile)". Maybe that's why I wasn't diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder or Antisocial Personality Disorder either. Maybe she didn't believe me? Nooooo idea.

So, nope... I haven't gotten any treatment for personality problems.

I do have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and OCD (although I think the OCD is quite minimal, as I'm mostly concerned with contamination).
