[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 72156"] The reason they are hesitant to diagnosis Borderline PD in adolescents is because normal adolescent growth and maturity can in some ways mimic Borderline (BPD), as well as other personality disorders. IOW, it's very common to see traits of these disorders in all adolescents. It's when it interferes with functioning and quality of life, interpersonal relationships, etc., that it becomes a personality disorder. I would definitely keep it on the radar, but I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon just yet. My difficult child shows traits of Borderline (BPD), too, so it's something I keep on my radar. Something you mentioned about your 5 year old caught my attention. Anxiety and ADHD can look a lot alike. It took one therapist 8 months to decide that my difficult child did not have ADHD because of the hyperactivity from the anxiety. I'm not saying your daughter has one or the other or both or none. Just keep in mind that what looks like one thing can really be another. [/QUOTE]
