Borderline Personality Disorder and ADHD

00:00 Introduction to the topic 00:33 PowerPoint Presentation on the base rates and percent overlap of these disorders 02:59 Why are the disorders more often co-occurring than by chance alone? 07:36 The diagnostic criteria for BPD and their overlap and distinction from ADHD 18:58 Treatments for the disorders – shared and distinct approaches 21:09 Conclusion This video discusses the co-occurrence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) with ADHD, the reasons for this overlap, including similar diagnostic criteria in some instances, and the differing treatments for each. PLEASE NOTE: I occasionally misidentify BPD as bipolar disorder in this video as their acronyms are similar and I am old. I believe I caught and corrected most of these at the time when they happened. But there are several times where I am discussing bipolar disorder and I didn’t correct those occasions. Apologies for any confusion.
