BMD vs. BPD



A recent report in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that 40 percent of people diagnosed with BPD had been misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Another study published in the journal determined that people who score positive on the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (used to screen for the presence of mood disorders) are just as likely to be diagnosed with BPD as Bipolar Disorder. About 24 percent of people who scored positively on the questionnaire were diagnosed as bipolar and about 28 percent as having BPD.
