Am I Bipolar or BPD?

Thursday March 15, 2007
It seems many people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, only to have the diagnosis later changed to borderline personality disorder or to have BPD added as an additional diagnosis. And sometimes those diagnosed BP may learn about BPD and feel that this condition explains their symptoms better than bipolar disorder does.

Erin Johnston, the new About Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder, has written an article on this question: Am I Bipolar or BPD? If you've wondered about your diagnosis or whether you might need a second diagnosis, this is a must read.
