[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694277, member: 18958"] The one thing I would like to say is this: (If you have absolute confidence that the person who diagnosed him with Borderline (BPD) is competent and experienced, then disregard) Diagnoses have a huge element of subjectivity involved. Clinicians call this "clinical judgment." But it is subjectivity nonetheless. That your son received this diagnosis is one person's opinion. Quite possibly it will turn out to have been a true thing, but only the future will show that this is true, the kind of future that your son makes for himself. At this point there are so many things that could make him appear to be borderline, that in my mind, would have to be ruled out, to make a diagnosis of a personality disorder. That your brother has this diagnosis makes this very real to you--what could be--for your son. But "could be" is not "is." I think the Job Corps option is wonderful and I hope your son follows through. Take care. [/QUOTE]
