Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnostic Criteria This section describes the symptoms of borderline personality disorder employed by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Also see the NIMH article on BPD Therapy and the Role of Clinical Diagnostic Criteria ICD-10 Criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder F60.3 Emotionally Unstable (Borderline) Personality Disorder ... Personality Disorders Therapy and the Role of Clinical Diagnostic Criteria In my own face-to-face and online therapy practice , I do not treat clients as manifestations of mental illnesses in need of medical fixing. No one is merely a case of bipolar disorder , an obsessive-compulsive , or a paranoid schizophrenic . In my view, formal diagnostic categories hold some value in terms of contextual information, but they play a much less important role than the specific personal circumstances of a given client. If you are a client, you are first and foremost a specific, unique individual. Nonetheless, in my experience of working with clients who have received formal psychiatric diagnoses from other mental health professionals, I have often found that clients feel they lack adequate information about what these diagnostic labels actually mean. The entries in this section aim to provide the basic facts about each of several diagnostic labels. Please note that the diagnostic information provided here is for educational purposes only and cannot replace the advice of a qualified mental health professional. More information about diagnostic labels is available on the page on the

Everyone has characteristic patterns of perceiving and relating to other people and events (personality traits). Put another way, people tend to cope with stresses in an individual but repetitive style. For example, some people respond to a troubling situation by seeking someone else's help, whereas others prefer to deal with problems on their own. Some people minimize problems; others exaggerate them. Regardless of their usual style, however, mentally healthy people are likely to try an alternative approach if their first response is ineffective.
