Borderline Personality Disorder vs Bipolar?
I am currently a student double-majoring in psych and biochem. But I have just been diagnosed with either bipolar or Borderline Personality? How is it either? I’m slightly confused to say the least. The problem is it would be rapid cycling Bi-polar and I am a mess when it comes to memory because I also have severe ADHD. Ug. Can someone give me a little more clarification? Any input is really appreciated. Should I see another psychologist/psychiatrist. My mother is a psychologist–but I really don’t feel comfortable talking to her about these things.
I just want to clarify that my question is pertaining to the fact that I am unsure as well as my current psychiatrist. From other people’s experience: should I continue with the same or seek someone more specialized.
You have to understand difference between personality disorder and a psychiatric disorder. Personality disorder is part of your personality and difficult to cure as against psychiatric disorders are due to chemical imbalance in brain and can be cured.
BPD is one of the most challenging personality disorder and can be controlled. It becomes very difficult many times to diffrentiate between BPD and Bipolar disorder. You should see a competent and experienced psychiatrist , unfortunately psychologist may not be able to do proper differential diagnosis.
