What Causes Boaderline Personality Disorder?
I am studying BDP (Boaderline Personality Disorder) and am starting to believe that I also suffer from the syptoms.
I am aware that it is common for hypochondria to form in the health industry so I am being pesamistic but would like a second opinion non the less.

When one is reading medical literature or psychiatric conditions sometimes reader feels that he or she is also suffering from that disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder is conceptualized in various ways by different theorists. ICD and DSM do have specific criteria.
In my opinion, if you are not feeling considerable mental distress or problems in work, family or social sphere, there is no need to worry.
If you are facing difficulties or have significant mental distress, then you should consult a psychiatrist. You should feel free to tell him what you have read and how you feel it applies to you. The psychiatrist will evaluate your condition and suggest interventions.
I hope this answers your question.
