Title: High functioning BPD/NPD diagnosis Post by: StarStruck on May 01, 2014, 09:08:37 AM Hi - Would a professional diagnose high functioning BPD as having both 1) BPD and 2) NPD or diagnose by saying high functioning BPD? SS x

That sounds like a good question for a professional. I think if a clinician had evidence of both disorders, they would get a dual diagnosis (BPD + NPD). "High-functioning BPD" is not the same as NPD. These may offer more information for you: BPD: What is it? How can I tell? (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=63511.0) (This has a post by Randi Kreger about the difference between high-and low-functioning BPD.) What is the relationship between BPD and narcissism (NPD)? (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=90388.0) Wishing you peace, PF Title: Re: High functioning BPD/NPD diagnosis Post by: StarStruck on May 02, 2014, 10:10:09 AM Hi P.F.Change... .
Makes sense thanks for that. I was thinking after I posted ... . it of course most probable to be high functioning with any 'styles' of BPD - albeit the waif, hermit, queen or witch. (I say BPD/NPD with mine to describe a high functioning queen/witch type) :) thanks for links they were interesting ! |
