This is the second in my “BPD Shorties” series where I tackle some of the most commonly asked questions about borderline personality disorder. I remember when I first found out about BPD and felt like the symptoms described what I was going through, I went straight to Google to find a quiz or test that would tell me whether or not I “had it.” In today’s episode, we’ll take a PychCentral quiz together titled: “borderline personality disorder test.” We’ll also discuss how BPD (EUPD) is formally diagnosed and what types of licensed mental health providers are qualified to do so. 


​​💡 Questions answered and topics discussed in this episode: 


■ Why so many of us end up typing the phrase “do I have BPD quiz” into Google

■ Can an online quiz or test determine whether or not you have a personality disorder? 

■ How to treat a person with BPD (EUPD)

■ How to get a BPD diagnosis (the pros and cons of taking this path) 

■ What types of licensed mental health providers are qualified to formally diagnose someone with BPD

■ Questions to ask your therapist to help determine if they are a good fit for you and are up-to-date on current research of personality disorders
