There may be: significant overlap in symptoms of borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. Some doctors might be quick to label some who engages in self-mutilation borderline. However, self- mutilation can occur in other contexts. Comprehensive evaluation is needed to tease these symptoms apart.
