That's Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, Borderline type. :)

I don't have it, or, am not diagnosed with it officially. Just letting people know what the ICD-10 code means.

Yes, that's Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (Borderline Type). which is from the ICD-10 - International Statistical Classification of Diseases and related health problems.

In the DSM - Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. F60.31 is Borderline Personality Disorder.

Two different Diagnostic Manuals. Two Different names. Which basically mean the same thing.

Hope this helps.

There's two subtypes listed in the ICD-10, under F60.3.

F60.31, Which is Borderline Type and F60.30, which is Impulsive Type.

International Classification of Disease

The World Health Organization's ICD-10 defines a conceptually similar disorder to borderline personality disorder called (F60.3) Emotionally unstable personality disorder. It has two subtypes described below.[25]

F60.30 Impulsive type

At least three of the following must be present, one of which must be (2):

  1. marked tendency to act unexpectedly and without consideration of the consequences;
  2. marked tendency to quarrelsome behaviour and to conflicts with others, especially when impulsive acts are thwarted or criticized;
  3. liability to outbursts of anger or violence, with inability to control the resulting behavioural explosions;
  4. difficulty in maintaining any course of action that offers no immediate reward;
  5. unstable and capricious mood.

F60.31 Borderline type

At least three of the symptoms mentioned in F60.30 Impulsive type must be present [see above], with at least two of the following in addition:

  1. disturbances in and uncertainty about self-image, aims, and internal preferences;
  2. liability to become involved in intense and unstable relationships, often leading to emotional crisis;
  3. excessive efforts to avoid abandonment;
  4. recurrent threats or acts of self-harm;
  5. chronic feelings of emptiness.
  6. demonstrates impulsive behavior, e.g., speeding, substance abuse [26]

The ICD-10 also describes some general criteria that define what is considered a personality disorder.

I'm a wondering what happens when someone actually has a marked tendency towards both, maybe at different times [due to a past with multiple traumas, for example]. How do they classify that then, being as C-PTSD isn't 'officially sanctioned...? [which sucks, but]

badly... but no worse than before... it will get better - at least it better had

at least it has not been as bad as cptsd therapy which made things worse before they got better (at least that's the theory - ran out of sessions before treatment finished

Hey, we are open to discuss every thought here... I hate labeling, too. I don't want to read much about diagnosies. tho sometimes is very tempting but I know onw thing for sure. With my therapist, nothing can stop me get better. :) I just wandered, because I got really better in a short period of time, still comeping with lots of things ofc, but I just want to tell everyone that it DOES get better and it WILL! If you really want that and find a really good therapist, you can have a "normal" (whatever you concider normal :) ) life

I think it depends on the Psychiatrist and also how the Patient presents themselves (i.e. History, Symptoms, Which symptoms are affecting the Patients life more).

They may get a single diagnosis of BPD or a diagnosis of EUPD (Both Impulsive and Borderline) Or one of the subtypes of EUPD depending on which symptoms are worse.

Wish I could have a diagnosis, as I'm sure there is something wrong... it's not just a depression that I've had for the last 10 years, I keep going around in circles, ending up in the same place, same problems... stupidness... I'm sure there's a reason... either that or I don't know :-(

The way I see it is that we're lucky to have a list of things to be able to work with, not everyone gets that chance in life...so you hit 7 criteria, you knock them off one by one and then you're OK? - I dunno, but it gives me something to focus my energy on which isn't otherwise spent using every day in a long and tedious game of "how fast can I destroy myself and everyone else around me?"...

I think for me in terms of measure, I refer to the recovery time...back when I was 22 an episode could last the best part of a year...now it depends on severity, but my bounce back rate is definitely faster.
