Did I miss any differences?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and bipolar disorder both involve intense mood shifts and impulsive actions, but they are different conditions. Bipolar disorder is a brain-based mood disorder with distinct episodes of mania and depression lasting weeks or months. BPD is a personality disorder marked by chronic instability in self-image, emotions, and relationships, with rapid mood swings triggered by social stress.

Clinician administered Rating scales like the ZanBPD for borderline personality disorder and the YMARS for Bipolar are helpful for making these assessments and we use them every day in our research lab. 🥼
