[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 256345, member: 1157"] I suspect a late diagnosis maybe have something to do with the fact that a person refuses to seek help. My oldest brother has an undiagnosed personality disorder, we only assume that is his diagnosis because of his behavior and symtoms.. but he has never seen a psychiatrist. He is 55. I'm not aware of any trauma in his youth, but then I wouldn't remember. My Oldest, whose former psychiatrist feels she has Borderline (BPD), also refuses treatment, so she is 25 and undiagnosed,"officially." But when I read the books and the DSM, she's got all but ONE symptom on the list. Once when she was in a pshosp at 18 or 19, a therapist there told me she was "too young" to be diagnosed as Borderline (BPD). Pffft right. Anyway.. while her dad and I had a very rocky relationship from the time she was born (and before), I wouldn't call that traumatic. The trauma came when she was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at age 9... however, she showed signs of trouble and being "different" from age 3. I'm no psychiatrist.. but I think that it's a combination of genetics and environment. Otherwise, kids in the same family would tend have the same issues, right? [/QUOTE]
