Hey, Jay,
I find it interesting that TIME magazine would write such inaccruacys.
I wonder if they know that famous people like Jamie Lee Curtis and Elton John and many others have been openly diagnosised as BPD.
Im sure lots of famous people in film and the arts would easily be Dx as BPD.
For some it is probaly what gives/gaves them their unique prespective and incredible drive to succed in their kraft.
Where is the line to be drawn between some whom is just a "type-A"/"overachiever" and someone who is BPD??
Also just whom is qualified to make that Dx?
On most of these famous people this type of Dx would be a very subjective judgment that would "be in the eyes of the beholder"...
Just my thoughts.....
