BPD in Men vs Women - The BPD Bunch S5E1

The BPD Bunch is Back! Xannie, Jack, Mo, Jay, Hak Ja and André discuss how borderline personality disorder presents in Men and Women. Xannie and Jay start by sharing some of the research, to answer questions like:

• Is BPD different in men than women?
• How does BPD present in males?
• What are the symptoms of BPD in women?
• What is the prevalence of borderline personality disorder in women?
• Why is BPD misdiagnosed in men?

Then the group discuss their personal experiences of BPD and how that intersects with their gender.

Come back on Friday as we wrap up this topic, with a discussion on BPD/Gender misconceptions we'd love to challenge!

October 9th we'll be back with a new discussion topic, dealing with BPD at School. Can't wait until then? Sign up for our "BPD Buddies" or "BPD Besties" tiers on Patreon to get early access to an exclusive extended cut of next week's episode NOW!
