Question, can a person have both BPD and depression?

Re: sa

[(Anonymous)]

I just googled what came after your comma and it seems like yes?

Re: sa

it's very common that people with BPD also deal with depression but it's a different kind of depression

generally depressed people are sad, apathetic etc
with BPD the depression usually manifests as anger, loneliness, feeling hollow

also a generalization: depression is harder to treat if you have BPD

As a heads up to you (and the other anons), BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder. The abbreviation for bipolar disorder is just BP. It's a very common mistake, but googling BPD will get you very different results than bipolar disorder.

To answer your question though: Depression has high comorbidity rates with Borderline Personality Disorder (a personality disorder). Bipolar disorder, on the other hand, is a mood disorder that causes people with it to go through manic phases and depressed phases, so it isn't technically comorbid but people with BP do experience depression.
