There's a lot of misdiagnosis in Borderline Personality Disorder.
Even if they hit 9/9 criteria, telling a survivor of abuse that their personality is disordered is a misdiagnosis.

#WomensHistoryMonth brings me to the story of Dora Marsden, suffragette, editor, philosopher. Unapologetically fierce and brave disrupter for the rights of women, a Yorkshire lass that ended up spending years in the Crichton mental health hospital In Dumfries.
Happy #socialprescribing day throwback to being part of the q&a Chelsea flower show mental health forum Spotlight on green health and inpatient/community partnerships-meaningful activity and social connection together are a powerful thing. People live in communities not hospitals
