[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 540438, member: 3419"] This is an old thread, but when I was researching, I thought, why reinvent the wheel? I am wracking my brains to figure out what is going on with-my difficult child. I realize that's a job for the "experts" but since I'm his mom and see him day in and day out, it's hard not to think about it and him all the time. Now that our therapist has suggested a possible direction toward antisocial personality disorder, it makes perfect sense to look at borderline, as toughlovin pointed out. Mental illness presents differently in men and women. I do not know if lithium works for Borderline (BPD) but I can definitely say that we are about to embark on a long, new journey, toward new medications and new restrictions, and if we can afford it, new living arrangements. Every time I typed in "impulsivity," I came up with-Borderline (BPD). Hey, better than sociopathy! The hard part is that impulsivity is present in so many disorders. Thank you for starting this thread, MWM. [/QUOTE]
