Was my pdoc right?

Posted by Deneb on June 15, 2006, at 13:33:17

Do I really have a borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

I think I might have an avoidant personality disorder as well.

Do I still seem like I have a BPD?

I think it is quite common to have another PD alongside the BPD.

Although it is not mentioned in the DSM-IV, earlier theorists have proposed a personality disorder which has a combination of features from borderline personality disorder and avoidant personality disorder, called "avoidant-borderline mixed personality" (APD/BPD) (Kantor, 1993, p.4).
