Super Feeler: A BPD Podcast
BPD Symptoms: ICD Criteria
Well it's officially our final episode of the BPD Symptoms Series! In this episode we technically aren't talking about DSM criteria for borderline personality disorder but instead we're talking about the different diagnostic model that is used primarily outside of North America.
We specifically talk about the concept of having a severity scale/continuum for personality disorders and the potential pros and cons for people living with BPD.
We also dive into three symptoms that aren't in the DSM that we find particularly interesting:
1. A view of self as bad, inadequate, guilty and contemptible
2. A sense of alienation and loneliness
3. Rejection sensitivity, problems with trust, misinterpretation of social signals.
And of course as we wrap up the series we get all mushy about how much fun we've had and how much we love each other.
