I share your words. Then, there’s the thing with the stigma and the reluctant to put labels bc they don’t want the patient to feel worse with a label and that this label might play a negative role.
Many of them stress on the idea that the DSM is only a tool for communication among the experts and that each patient is different. I understand it. However there are patients who need to know. They need some sort of safety in oder to go ahead on a straight path.
The only fact that from the 9 criteria, you have to display only 5 traits to be diagnosed with bpd, it opens many possibilities and give you an idea of the differences between two persons diagnosed with the same disorder. So, yes...I can see how quiet borderline is not easy to diagnosed. This type of borderline displayed apparently traits that may be seen in cluster C: Avoidance, dependency, internalising rejection and withdrawal...but in the end, the core will be different.
I can see it very clear.
