Are Women Being Misdiagnosed With Borderline Personality And Bipolar?

There is a growing trend of women receiving diagnosis of borderline personality disorder or bipolar. The symptoms of which often arise from their experiences in abusive relationships.

 

Unfortunately, when these women seek help, they are frequently misdiagnosed. Instead of receiving appropriate support, they are often told to medicate and move on with their lives.

 

However, this approach is inadequate. Women in abusive relationships should be provided with the necessary help to break free from these situations. Furthermore, they should be supported in rebuilding their confidence and sense of self-worth.

 

In this episode, we delve into:

• Why women are being misdiagnosed with these conditions
• Why we need to rephrase ‘disorders’ and call them responses
• Understanding the root cause of why these behaviours show up
