Borderline Personality Disorder Test Results
To meet the diagnostic criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder a person needs to have five out of the nine criteria. It should be mentioned that like the depression test a doctor is looking for a long standing pattern of behavior. When it comes to substance abuse the diagnostic Borderline Personality Disorder test results can get messed up for it is difficult to tell whether the substance is causing the behavior or it has nothing to do with it.

[...] Borderline Personality Disorder is a Personality Disorder but right now there is a movement to get it classified as a mood disorder. For the longest time people believed that BPD was taught and a result of circumstances but lately there is this movement pushing for a brain defect. A personality disorder can not be treated easily with medication for there is nothing wrong with the chemical makeup of the brain. Again the best course of action is therapy to unlearn the negative thought process’s which lead to the disorder but if it is a brain defect then it opens the door to medication which leads to profit for the fat cats at the drug manufacture head office. DBT or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy has shown tons of success for people with BPD so it kind of makes you wonder who is responsible for all of the “new” research and studies that keeps coming out, yes I am being sarcastic.
