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 disordersMentioned Resource: Borderline Personality Disorder Test (PsychCentral) Enjoyed this episode?
