[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 674042, member: 18958"] QS, you are doing a very hard thing, very, very well. The treatment options sound fantastic. Better than I have heard of. I totally believe that DBT is phenomenal. Your son sounds very impressive. It takes character, motivation, guts and maturity to fess up as did he. Try as hard as you can to be kind to yourself now. I would try hard to not diagnose my child or to give much credence to his self-diagnosis. The kind of diagnosis that might help with benefits, I think, is what they call an Axis I diagnosis, which is an acute problem, like depression, anxiety, etc. A personality disorder like Borderline (BPD) is an Axis II disorder. As far as I know it is not typically considered a focus of treatment that would be covered by insurance. But of course you need to verify your benefits. I could not know what is or is not covered. If it were me, I would stay silent about what my thoughts are about diagnosising, and let the professionals decide. Keep posting. I admire how you are handling this. You are doing so great under unbelievable pressure. COPA [/QUOTE]
