[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 321225, member: 7083"] Borderline is nothing like ODD in the sense of it being merely a pattern of symptoms. If you read the diagnostic criteria, it says: (bold added by me) It is 70% biological. There are actual changes in the brain as viewed with various imaging techniques. I posted a thread on the General board earlier in the week on Borderline (BPD) info. A person with depression gets help - medications and therapy - and the symptoms go away. Borderline doesn't. A borderline patient learns to control the symptoms and learns to make better choices, but it is always there. by the way, most people who are abused are not borderline, but most patients who are borderline are abused. Not all are abused, obviously, because my daughter has never been abused. However, she had emotional needs - a void - that couldn't possibly be met no matter how hard I tried and that fed into it. Her father disappearing on her, my depression and hospitalization, my illness - all factors, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
