That was extremely helpful for me. It explaines me to a tee! I have ADHD, Bipolar, Bulimia (non-purging type) and I have often thought I have borderline traits. This explains why because I have a propensity to impulsivity.
This confused me. I have symptoms on both sides. I have been tested and have ADD. Could I have something else. Need help comment please.
Hi Jetro! Would you like Dr J to respond to your question? If you do, could you please post it in the Ask An Expert section of the Forums? Thanks!
