First time posting here. 

I feel the only reason I was diagnosed with bipolar initially is because my dad has it, but I've been researching and taken abnormal psychology classes and I can see I fall more under bpd. 

I am being treated only for bipolar, do psychiatrists use different meds for treating bpd? I haven't been "ok" on my meds over 2 years now and I've switched them up a lot. 

What should I tell my doctors about this?
