Emotionaly Unstable PD

I Don't see a subforum for this pd. I was told this is the other end of BPD, While BPD are more psychotic the EUPD are more impulsive. Anyone else here diagnosed with this?

From what I understand Emotional unstable PD is BPD it is just another name for it.

From what I was explained they are in the same group but different:

I don't know, This is what I was told.

Thanks anyway. I just obsess on the details.

I guess they are trying to differentiate all the mental problems as mush as possible. I was told borderlines tend to be psychotic while the emotionally unstable are more impulsive.

You're welcome and I get impulsive and psychotic

i think if they are separated they should be separate. I guess its like introvert, extrovert. two ends of one diagnose

Emotional Unstable Personality Disorder is exactly the same thing, it's just the European name that they'll be putting into place soon, so they've been starting early.

That's just the European criteria (AKA ICD-10) for Emotional Unstable Personality Disorder, the EXACT same thing as BPD.

thank you. i was wondering why i find nothing on tje subject. Well for good or bad i was right with the diagnodis.

Thank you for the clarification girl_interrupted.

Yeah, it's the European version. Try this:

Hi, I am from the UK and it is true that BPD and EUPD are the same thing. There has been a lot of criticism of the term BPD and those that have been diagnosed with this can experience a lot of stigma in the system and find it damaging to think that there is something inherently wrong with the personality and that the old label of BPD came with a sense of shame.

They are due to release a new version of the NICE guidelines for assessment and diagnosis and in this one of the proposed changes was to rename BPD as EUPD. It is exactly the same as with Multiple Personality Disorder, this is now commonly referred to Dissociative Identity Disorder.

My GP often discusses my BPD traits as EUPD because she know how freaked out I was with BPD as a diagnosis so she was attempting to get me to accept the traits by changing the title making it feel a little less daunting but it didn't work because I was aware that it is the same illness which she acknowledged to be true when I questioned her about it.

dumb abbr, looks to me like European Union P-Dollars.

Totally... right would be better if they put to service providers so they can offer more and be able to help those that live with the symptoms rather than finding a label. Although some people find comfort in a lable... is this why you are looking for a difference In.neverland? How do you feel about it being the same?

When I was first diagnosed with BPD I was told I had emotional unstable personality disorder, Here in the UK as already been said it is just another name for it but I still call it BPD.

thank you for the replies.

mindfield a label for me is very important. It validates my emotions, helps me deal with guilt and i also feel if i dont have a certain, true and severe diagnose noone will help me.As have been prooved by nhs,

the new name i dont like because all my life I've een called too emotional. While i feel completely missunderstood that label coinciding with ppls opinion, just makes me feel more responcible for my own situation.
At first when he told me( the dr, that was evaluating me, and he avoided using the exact words pd) i was surprised I've never heard before of that disorder. Now when i know they are the same, it is probably a matter of time until i get used to it.
