Sarahmarie:
That "stretching" is really not supposed to be done. That the symptoms list runs pretty long should tell you the folks applying the criteria did quite a bit of stretching already. Besides, what's the point of having that list if pdocs are going to stretch it to fit their patients? If that were the case, we'd ALL have BPD! (I think I have it, now!)
If I were you, I'd not only call her on it, but I'd get a second opinion.
