Title: Diagnostic evaluation Post by: Ackmom on December 05, 2019, 10:00:21 PM Hello,
I’m struggling to find how to get my son an evaluation. I think he would be willing to go but where can I take him? Anyone in the Boston area who could recommend where to get a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for BPD? Any advice would be appreciated!

Do you have a family doctor? Usually best to start these things with a full general physical. I'm glad you found us. You've found a community that "get's it" about the things you have been experiencing. I'll check back later to see your reply. Best, FF Title: Re: Diagnostic evaluation Post by: FaithHopeLove on December 06, 2019, 06:40:42 AM Hello Ackmom
I join Formflier in welcoming you to the group. We are glad you are here. As he said, usually the family doctor is where one starts to get a referral for a psychological evaluation. Your medical insurance provider can also help Most of them have mental illness hotlines that can answer questions and point you to resources in your area. I hope you stick around and post more here. Can you say more about what your son is doing that leads you to suspect he has BPD? We are here for you.

But I hear it can be quite expensive. Good luck
