I'm asking cause what happened to me.
While I was hospitalized the doctor clearly told me that I have bpd  but also that I am way young for a diagnosis (I'm about to turn 19). I then got very confused when on the letter they gave me when I went back home (if someone in the comments could tell me what is the english word for the letter they give you when you go home from a hospital would be great!) they wrote that I have a chronic depressive personality disorder.
Both of these diagnoses make much sense  so, with my psychologist we went throught the criteria for bdp and I seem to meet all of them minus the anger thing, so she agrees that bdp would be a more complete diagnosis for me.
Am I too young for a diagnosis? Did someone have a similar experience? I need to make an appointment with my pshychiatrist and I think I'll ask her about it but for the moment I am curious to hear from other people.
