Has anyone ever been wrongly diagnosed with BPD just because their psychiatrist finds them difficult?

Question:

I have been given this diagnosis but don't meet the criteria, not sure how to challenge it!!

Answers:
Many people go into psychiatry because they themselves are nutty as hell! Ask your gfs who they go to..sometimes it's better to go outside your ins. plan to find someone decent. Don't mention to the new person the former diagnosis. If you get the diagnosis again, don't give up hope, denial is a part of BPD, just deal with it, do what the docs tell you- my mom has that and is much better now.

I knew you meant Borderline.

Other Answers:
get a second opinion

Bipolar has become a popular diagnosis with psychiatrists these days. I would most certainly seek a second opinion if you feel you do not meet the criteria as outlined in the DSM. I would attempt to find a therapist in your area to meet with about the issues you are facing in your life.
