[QUOTE="klmno, post: 321221, member: 3699"] Well, no one ever even mentioned this as a possible diagnosis for me. I would have assumed that this diagnosis (borderline) would be one that a person must fit the crieria and have no other reason for it- kind of like for BiPolar (BP)- there is not supposed to be any other reason for mania (like medication-induced). Look at symptoms and behavior of a person with depression alone- it can result in broken relationships, self harming/suicide attempts, impulsive behavior, bad sense of self, and a sense of emptiness. Does that mean that a depressed person automatically has borderline? I'm not trying to be facetious here- it just seems too similar to the ODD diagnosis conceptually- it's really a diagnosis of symptoms that point to a bigger problem. Maybe sometimes it stands alone and is really a personality disorder, but usually not. [/QUOTE]
