HI,
just to note. BP and BPD are ambiguous.
BP stands for BiPolar. BPD COULD stand for BiPolar Disorder. In fact, when I posted my intro, I used BPD to stand for BiPolar Disorder.
Someone is not "BiPolar". More correctly, someone has the BiPolar Disorder.
It's like the difference between someone who has BiPolar Disorder and someone who has cancer. One might say such and such "is BiPolar". But would you say that such and such "is cancer"? No, it doesn't make sense.
Don't mean to be splitting hairs here but it's an important distinction.
