here in the USA BPD is not a dissociative disorder..... but....... dissociation disorders can happen with also having BPD. when this happens its called dual diagnosis or mhaving multiple diagnosis's.
I know its bit confusing and I cant remember if you are in the USA or the UK ....maybe this will help. heres what my location goes by in separating the two disorders and categories....
BPD is listed as a personality disorder. a personality disorder is behavior related... a deeply ingrained and maladaptive pattern of behavior of a specified kind. you can see a list of personality disorders in the first link at the bottom of my post.
DID is listed as a dissociative disorder. a dissociative disorder is more based on feelings and escaping triggers. you can see what america goes by for dissociative disorders in my dissociative disorders link at the bottom of my post.
