OneLove, I agree. I have also dealt with alot of teenage girls that have been given NOS type or bipolar diagnosis, when the therapist stated, off the record, that the real diagnosis is most likely borderline personality disorder. These are some of the most unpredictable, difficult, and sometimes downright dangerous persons to deal with, even as teens. It is very hard to get adequate treatment for them and I have often been told that there is no adequate treatment
Don't know if that is so or not....Part of the reason for the improper diagnosis, to my understanding, is that personality disorders are not typically given to persons under the age of 18.
