Possible New Diagnosis???

Possible New Diagnosis???

So I had a week's hospital stay at the public psych ward. I have no memory of the first 3 days, so I got a copy of the letter and info that was sent to my GP.

Apparently in the ED I was agitated and rude. Then when I was moved to the psych ward I had an assessment. Here they wrote. Impression on admission : cluster B traits (BPD traits) evident throughout admission. WTF.

I have Major Depression and Anxiety and they think I still have PTSD. But now they want to add Borderline Personality to the list.

They never mentioned any of this to me. At all.

So what am i meant to do with this new diagnosis? And how would I even know if it applies to me?

Can you get an over-write of that BPD “diagnosis” from other long-term providers who know who you really are, and who are not reacting to you in a distressed state of mind in a one-off situation ?

@Faith-and-Hope . I'm no longer worried about that Bpd "diagnosis". It was a suggestion only and really doesn't fit with me and my symptoms. But as usual I panicked when I read it in my notes. Ha ha.

All good now.

Hope you are well.
