Borderline personality disorder is a pathological mental condition that affects approximately 1.6% of the adult population. But the low incidence rate is probably due to its being under-diagnosed. BPD is difficult to treat, the prognosis is poor, and insurance companies often balk at paying for treatment. And it has a bad reputation with mental health clinics. The reason is that patients with BPD are difficult to get along with, they are very demanding, easily angered, have an explosive temper, and threaten to file lawsuits against doctors, nurses, and clinics more often than those with other disorders.
Here is a test I found to help you determine if you have any BPD symptoms and to what extent it may affect you.
Borderline Personality Test | Psych Central
My score was 11.
Borderline Personality Disorder Not Likely
Congratulations! You answered this screening measure in such a way as to suggest that, at this time, Borderline Personality Disorder is not a current concern of yours. Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by a pattern of unstable and intense relationships, as well as frantic efforts to avoid abandonment -- even if it's not real.
You don't appear to have these concerns at this time. Remember, though, this test is not meant to diagnose or provide any type of treatment recommendation.
