[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 72042, member: 3527"] The one showing signs of Borderline is the 13 year old, not the 5 year old. The five year old has not made it in to see her psychiatrist yet, we are finishing working out all the wrinkles with referrals and getting counselor records to them so we can make an appointment. The 13 year old actually came to us through the foster care system in January and was diagnosis'ed ALL WRONG and on ALL KINDS of unnecessary medications that were actually making her WORSE than she really is, instead of better. I did find an article online by a doctor that explains how to diagnosis Borderline as an adolescent, and I will be printing it out and taking it to her next psychiatrist appointment. I think the reason that she can't diagnosis it now is because the diagnosis criteria for adolescents is stricter than that of adults and the timeframe for adolescents is symptoms present for a year, and we have not even had her for a year, so we cannot say for certain whether these signs were there before or not...
