I'm still chipping away at this category.

Do you think borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a valid conceptualization of a separate disease state, or is it really a conglomeration of symptom clusters being produced by other comorbid mental illnesses?

> - ScottI would say that I am still considering borderline disorder's category and the context in which it is constructed. There is such an overlap of symptoms, and yet an 'I know it when I see it' mentality that for better or worse is part of the diagnostic process.
The NEJM recently published this for providers:
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMcp1007358
The other day I found this study regarding BD and doubly inherited short 5http alle which points towards the genetic
clues the NEJM alludes to (not to make my understanding or
knowledge look more than it is):http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3089993/?tool=pubmed
Is it a disorder that stands alone? I tend not to think so, but as a person with symptoms along the BD spectrum, I selectively read what I find most helpful. So far, the more I look at the BD category, the more it blurs. This has been discussed before with the personality disorders. I think that's why they are clustered into groups.I don't know. I'm still reading. What do you tend to think?

FB I just don't see this in you. I'd tend to blame shifting hormones of hasimotos and female hormone issues more. That's just my opinion. Love Phillipa

Phillipa, I'm not labeling myself as 'a borderline'. I see symptoms, and I accept what I see and try to be as neutral as possible. Some fit, others don't. I think the social construct damages some of the very people it is supposed to help.
I know you are being supportive, Phillipa. Thank you.
