Borderline personality disorder and depression?

Mood variation of a very dramatic kind is part and parcel of Borderline Personality Disorder.

It is therefore very hard to differentiate a clinical episode of depression from the severe kind of depression which is at times associated with Borderline Personality Disorder. Straight clinical depression also responds better to physical treatments, medications etc than a BPD depressive episode would.

i've never heard that before but i know for me when i'm depressed the symptoms and problems i have relating to my BPD, take a back seat, i actually feel as though i no longer have the disorder. All i feel is depressed. It's only when my mood lifts that the symptoms of the personality disorder become apparent again. So i guess that when someones suffering depression the symptoms they tell the doctor about are mainly those of depression because at the time they are the most distressing. It might also have something to do with the fact that BPD is alot about relationship problems and labile mood but when your depressed your mood is a constant low and you withdraw from relationships due to the depression.

I would venture to say it is because mood swings are extreme in bpd and important for diagnosis. Clinical depression lays a blanked of sadness over those ups and downs making it more difficult to see the emotional symptoms. As well as some of the other signs like feelings of emptiness which are chronic in Bpd and happen during depression.

Bipolar and Borderline character disease are very comparable and many times misdiagnosed for the different to start with; they share many characteristics i.e. temper swings, rigidity, sucidal ideation, etc. reckoning on how long you have actually had bipolar (no longer how long you have been clinically determined; you might have bipolar for a time earlier diagnosis) you're transforming into learnt 'coping concepts' on your temper swings, those would now be area and parcel of your character and can wish treatment to 'unlearn' those coping concepts. additionally there is a few debate over precisely what reasons borderline character; it has continuously been assumed to be a psychological disease this is 'learnt' whilst youthful; while bipolar is an organic and organic disease stemming from an atypical innovations chemistry. despite the fact that some researchers have faith that borderline character is on the cusp of being a temper disease. i think of you ought to supply up irritating with reference to the diagnosis for now; for sure if the pills are no longer working so some distance, you have no longer yet reached a point of stability. And until eventually this is executed you will no longer recognize what your authentic 'character' is like; it quite is impossible to correctly known your character while you're nonetheless volatile: if the meds are working you're no longer stable finished supply up. you additionally are purely 15, your innovations hasn't stopped wiring itself yet; it quite is all the extra pressing which you attempt to locate a drugs that works for you, in any different case it quite is harder to handle any character disease (and that they are able to take place with bipolar). in basic terms attempt to flow with diverse mixtures they supply, it could take a protracted time and a brilliant form of path and mistake to locate the meds that paintings for you. all the superb xx
