Answer 6

Personality Disorders are thought to originate during childhood, yet health professionals are reluctant to diagnose children with the disorders we have discussed. Why is that? Well sometimes children don’t show signs of any disorder. Take me for example, I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder(aka G.A.D.) and wasn’t diagnosed with it until I was almost 16 because I didn’t show much signs of it to the doctors until later in life.

That's what I got so far. ^

What is Borderline Personality Disorder?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a diagnosis with an unusual history. The idea that patients might fall on some sort of “borderline” between psychosis and neurosis dates back to 1937, at which time the syndrome was first described.1 BPD patients do have quasipsychotic or micropsychotic symptoms, such as voices telling them to kill themselves, paranoid feelings, and depersonalization.2 However these cognitive symptoms are not essential features of BPD. The core of the syndrome is a striking instability of mood, accompanied by a wide range of impulsive behaviors, particularly self-cutting and overdoses, and with intimate relationships that are impulsive, stormy, and chaotic.3

Since BPD begins early in life and can continue over many years, it is classified as a personality disorder. However, BPD differs from other categories on Axis II in that it is associated with a wide range of active symptoms.4 Moreover, BPD is one of the most common clinical problems psychiatrists see in practice. One study found that half of all patients with repetitive suicide attempts in emergency rooms meet criteria for this diagnosis.5 Due to suicidal threats and actions, BPD patients are often admitted to hospital.6 BPD cases are also common in out-patient settings,7 where the pathology is often serious enough to use a large amount of clinical resources.
