[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think they are supposed to diagnose that this early - are you sure your care providers are reputable?

- Parent with similar issues - DD did grow out of some of the issues (with therapy) but our providers really cautioned against bringing that diagnosis into play at a young age. [/quote]

Op here:  they don't usually diagnose bpd until a girl is 18 and i think needs to be at a certain level of maturity. They are treating her for all of it and have said she could outgrow many (or even all) of her adhd, depression, anxiety etc.

I am confidant in her counsellors. it's so hard to tell with her. Thank you for your comments. [/quote]

Good luck. I know its a hard road. ADHD and depression are still under treatment for our DD. I would describe our progress as two steps forward, one back, so hang in there. I read a book on BPD at one point and used a lot of the validating listening techniques- can't recall book - b/c I had some concerns DD would have this. In any event the techniques for how to validate without agreeing have been very valuable for my relationship with DD. [/quote]
