Not sure if you have BPD, ADHD, or both? Have both, and want to know when something is ADHD versus BPD? I just stumbled across an interesting paper that goes into detail about all the research, where they overlap, and how the overlaps are still different. https://t.co/pzDVbbUvk0

@instablog9ja Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are both considered neurocognitive conditions. You can have BPD and ADHD at the same time, and both conditions share impulsive behavior as a symptom. So when the impulse pushes you to do

Kuja-Halkola investigated the co-occurrence between ADHD and BPD in over two millions individuals born in Sweden 1979 -2001. Individuals with an ADHD diagnosis had a higher risk of also having a BPD. This indicates that genetic factors play a role. #eips https://t.co/RXXvNVY9Z3
