How do you know if you have borderline personality disorder. i have been cutting for 2years and i'm trying to figure out what i have ?

Could be.: Hi, Thank you for your question. Borderline personality disorder is not the only reason people can cut. These are symptoms of BPD: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/borderline-personality-disorder/index.shtml I hope you stop cutting yourself. If you need to talk to someone I am always available.

DBT: First, get a full psychiatric evaluation to confirm this diagnosis. If the diagnosis is indeed confirmed, then Dbt, or dialetic behavioral therapy, formulated and developed by marsha linehan, pH.D. Is currently though of as being very effective. Borderline personality disorder or treatment is more a management issue than an issue that is curable.
