Why Psychiatrists are Reluctant to Diagnose

Why Psychiatrists are Reluctant to Diagnose. Paris, J. Psychiatry (Edgmont), 4(1):35–39, January, 2007.

Clinicians can be reluctant to make a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD). One reason is that BPD is a complex syndrome with symptoms that overlap many Axis I disorders. This paper will examine interfaces between BPD and depression, between BPD and bipolar disorder, and between BPD and psychoses. It will suggest that making a BPD diagnosis does more justice to patients than avoiding it.
