BPD vs. ADHD vs. Autism: "Look beneath the labels”

  • Summary

  • (cw: suicidality, abuse) Join Dr. Courtney Tracy, aka The Truth Doctor, a licensed psychotherapist and doctor of clinical psychology, as she compares the three diagnoses she's been clinically given over the last ten years as a client. Dr. Courtney discusses what the research says about the relationship between these mental health conditions and more specifically, how autism and BPD may show up through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder DSM criteria. We think this episode could help people who have borderline personality, autism, ADHD, and/or simply have multiple diagnoses. We'd love to hear from you via screenshots on social media by tagging us at @the.truth.doctor and @truthdoctormedia. Thank you, and enjoy. The main message of the episode: The most important part of getting a diagnosis is looking beneath the labels and seeing the human being.
