Hm, interesting. I've never heard of this dx being discredited. I have about ADHD, fibromyalgia, and dyslexia.
Having said that, I'm just learning about this disorder, among a couple other personality disorders, so maybe that's why.
Did anyone explain WHY they didn't believe in this disorder?
I've recently suspected my partner may have BPD, and I tell you, there's nothing "fake" about it. I suppose I shouldn't say anything since he doesn't have a formal diagnosis (even though his therapist advised him to do the DBT), but I just wanted to chime in and say.. ya, it's definitely a condition that can be quite debilitating, I can imagine.
