Criteria:
This is the criteria
for being diagnosed with BPD. You need to have 5 or more of these
characteristics. I have all 9. Tomorrow I will go into more detail
about each characteristic.
A pervasive pattern
of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and
affects, and marked impulsivity beginning by early adulthood and
present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of
the following:
1. Frantic efforts
to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Note: Do not include suicidal
or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.
2. A pattern of
unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by
alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation.
3. Identity
disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense
of self.
4. Impulsivity in at
least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending,
sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). Note: Do not
include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.
5. Recurrent
suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior.
6. Affective
instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense
episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few
hours and only rarely more than a few days).
7. Chronic feelings
of emptiness.
8. Inappropriate,
intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent
displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)
9. Transient,
stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.
