BPD is usually the primary dx. Very difficult to treat, as well, because they truly believe that they are right and everyone else in the world is wrong. They are great at playing the victim. Many demonstrate all of the symptomology, as well, but never receive a dx or tx because they don't believe there is anything wrong with them or their behavior. According to them, everyone else needs tx.
