In this this video we examine the overlap between BPD and ADHD. This is a complicated combination that poses many challenges to not only the individuals who have these diagnoses but to the mental health practitioners who treat them.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, while Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by erratic and dramatic responses to stimuli. Key distinctions include features specific to BPD, such as fear of abandonment, feelings of emptiness, worthlessness, and other core characteristics that differentiate it from ADHD.
Impulsivity is where the greatest overlap exists, it is consistently identified in both through the research. It is the root of all this confusion, although it is the same in name, it is different in surface and core content.
Daniel J. Fox, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist in Texas, international speaker, and award winning author. He has been specializing in the treatment and assessment of individuals with personality disorders for over 15 years in the state and federal prison system, universities, and in private practice. His specialty areas include personality disorders, ethics, burnout prevention, and emotional intelligence.
He has published several articles in these areas and is the author of:

We know that BPD and adult ADHD have distinct and specific underlying patterns of personality traits and personality pathology. Knowing this can help you identify the aspects of your personality that lead to maladaptive and adaptive tendencies and this is where knowledge feeds empowerment for you to gain control.

Just wanted to point out as someone with predominantly inattentive ADHD, that almost nothing you described about ADHD applies to our subtype. We are decidedly not 'go go go' and we tend not to have all these problems you describe that make us difficult for others which is why we often go undiagnosed. This made me realize that that's similar to the discouraged and self-destructive borderline types which often go undiagnosed because they cause fewer obvious problems for others.

It's interesting how in both cases of ADHD and BPD which are so very different, that there can be such different presentations caused by the same underlying issue.

@le_th_ 7 ай бұрын

@@georgewolfe2963 The underlying issues are different. That is what he means by core content. What drives BPD and what causes ADHD are separate and different. He is differentiating how impulsivity shows up in ADHD and how it shows up in BPD. In fact, almost this entire video is differentiating the two because the term "impulsivity" shows up very differently in ADHD than it does in BPD.

@consciouslylisa5906 Жыл бұрын

I have both. The inattentiveness is 100% adhd. The mood swings, distrust of people/insecurity in my close friendships is BPD. Feeling worthless is BPD. Believing that anyone you care deeply about will leave is BPD. ADHD with RSD sound a whole lot like BPD though. I don’t have any of the episodes of rage/violence typically associated with BPD, though. I guess I’m on the low end of the spectrum, but the emotional dysregulation I experience only when triggered and I know most of them enough now to pull out my DBT tricks. No one who knows me now would ever know. MY adhd stuff I can’t hid though. My brain is a mess 😩

I was surprised you focused on the impulsivity and motor-driving overlap instead of the overlap between RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria) in those with ADHD and extreme sensitivity to rejection and abandonment in those with BPD. But after watching the video, I really appreciated your choice of focus, too. The former confusion of symptoms has me really puzzling over why I am so sensitive to being rejected and whether this is due to ADHD or BPD.

@delltronzero 5 жыл бұрын

Sara Dailey Yes, that is really critical. The overlap of symptoms between GAD and ADHD is another example of this, since stimulants risk exacerbating anxiety. It is essential to get the diagnosis right. From what I gather from Dr. Fox’s videos, BPD benefits more from CBT, DBT and other non-psychiatric treatments, whereas ADHD is directly treatable with stimulant medication. It has been argued ADHD is the most treatable of disorders although potentially disastrous if left untreated. The sensitivity to rejection in both BPD and ADHD is very important for future research to address IMO.

@meghancoppola8640 5 жыл бұрын

I expected more emphasis on sensitivity and anxiety as well, @Delltron. I also think it’s important to note that one is a personality disorder (often the product of early dysfunctional/traumatic experiences) and the other is neurological. Different means to similar ends, I suppose. My boyfriend reps the BPD, and I’m the one with ADHD. It can be a WILD ride, let me tell ya... 🤦🏼‍♀️

@eatymceatison97 5 жыл бұрын

I was misdiagnosed as having BPD when in fact it was just ADHD with severe inattentiveness, a high intelligence with a lack of motivation due to understimulation and autism. I displayed some signs commonly associated with bpd, but their origin was very different and I never had a fear of anyone leaving me. I value others' right to personal space, yet can say I've met a lot of supposedly normal people (mainly men) who did not. I've had a lot of people who thought I liked them because I'm quite nice and caring toward most people, because that's part of the non-western culture I grew up in but also because my autism rendered me incapable of knowing what would be an appropriate level of kindness to show to others. I'd end up no longer seeing those people because I just did not like them back, nor did I want to see them as often as they would want to see me. They labeled me as having "unstable relationships", when I didn't consider those to have been relationships/friendships. I developed "mild" bulimia with only subjective binges after a prolonged period of being anorexic, which isn't all that uncommon. They said bulimia was a clear sign I had BPD. I'm extremely concise in how I analyse myself and things outside of me, meaning I don't just swallow any theory about me or anything else people try to sell me. I'll look for good reasons as to why I should believe A vs B. I'll criticize people for saying something that's not true or something that people simply can't know, especially mental health professionals, becauce if they want to give the impression they're experts on something, they should be accurate. They called that defiant, when all I wanted was to uncover the truth about why I was struggling so I could receive the right treatment. In hindsight, I had extremely obvious signs of adhd and autism. They told me I simply didn't want to achieve anything in life. What I'm trying to say by all of this: encountering an actually competent mental health professional isn't all that easy, and just because people thought you had BPD, does not mean you have it. Anyway, doctor. I know the area of personality disorders is your area of expertise, but could you post videos on autism (maybe as a differential diagnosis) or a more elaborate one on ADHD? I'm very curious to find out what you'd have to say about those conditions.

This is my favorite comment on this thread! I actually do have both ADHD and BPD, but I am exactly like you, in the way I know exactly which parts are the ADHD, which are BPD, and the symptoms that are from both. I've lived my whole life so far thinking I was crazy...even WITH the BPD dx since I was 15. I have seen a crap ton of professionals who have agreed to BPD, they've all added: depression, anxiety, PTSD/C-PTSD, and no one mentioned ADHD until this year!!!???? I'm 32!!! It explains everything that didn't make sense with the rest of the disorders. I could put substance abuse disorder up there too, except that's a misdiagnosis, I believe, because I feel like it was more self medication, which makes sense with the ADHD! I really would like a more in depth video about all of this!! Although I'm not complaining. You may be the only person who I feel actually understands and we are so lucky to have your videos!! Thank you for what you do.

And girls and women present differently, and if intelligent usually learn go-arounds and other coping strategies. Hormones also play a huge role. Then there is medical misogyny, where you are much more likely to be diagnosed with mood disorders and/or personality disorders, and have adhd, autism and/or trauma be what's really going on. I'd recommend Dr. Russell Barkley's youtube vids; he is top of the field in adhd research, and says that emotional dysregulation, which he calls DESR, or "deficient emotional self regulation," is always a core feature of ADHD and ought to be included in the diagnostic criteria.

Does untreated ADHD in Childhood lead to BPD? I was diagnosed with BPD at age 15 and then ADHD at 18. I only received therapy for depression prior till age 32, but took ADHD meds for a long time. Its very hard for me to relax and I'm always anxious. Its hard for me to focus, remember, pay attention and sit still for long periods unless its a topic I'm really interested in. Its hard for me to read a book, watch a movie, or complete a task in one setting. I'm working with a psychiatrist to try and get ADHD meds (as well as benzos for anxiety), but its difficult.

Hi Dr. Daniel - thank you so much for this video! I've gone for so long thinking there was something "wrong" with me in the sense that I could relate to the feeling of restlessness described in ADHD - but never really fit the criterias. I sought help one year ago and was recently diagnosed with BPD - and suddently everything made sense. When I'm not triggered I can focus and relax - however, when I'm in emotional turmoil I'm an impulsive restless mess. This was so helpfull to watch - especially also since my partner is diagnosed with ADHD. It helped me put in to words the different sense of restlessness that I so often feel that we have. He's always like "yes I know the feel" and YES, I know that he knows - but on another level. I'm definately gonna watch this together with him as well - so that he might have a better understanding of the difference. I'm sorry if I repeat myself in this comment, but sometimes when I write - especially when its not in my first language - I get lost. Thank you so much - your videos help me a lot between my sessions with my therapist. I'm starting DBT tomorrow - I'm so scared, but I feel motivated to learn new strategies to ease my BPD. Lots of love from Norway!

My symptoms isolated me and getting diagnosed with multiple disorders made me feel even more lonely. Even more like no one will ever see me or my uniqueness in a positive light. I have felt like I was on my own island away from everyone else but close enough to see what I was missing. Finding videos like this that seem tailored to what I thought was my own special brand of disorder is encouraging in breaking that feeling of aloneness.

My BPD prevents me from social intrusiveness, although I have severe ADHD. It’s the fear of rejection and The chronic feeling of being a bother or being invisible, but once I speak, I speak very excessively and so fast! Please make a video about how a comorbid condition can change how other one symptoms and how it manifests itself. I’ve self-diagnosed myself lately with BPD because I’ve never been in a physical fight and rarely screamed at people, so I thought I didn’t fit the diagnosis until I learned about the quiet type. And symptoms are like describing every moment of my life and every cell of my personality. I just thought that was me! I didn’t realize that it was a personality pattern. Such a revelation, but now after noticing that emotional distortion, I cannot trust my feelings anymore and I can’t tell when it’s really a negative situation and if somebody is trying to hurt my feeling on purpose. When I’m splitting and when it’s true that somebody has changed? How could we tell? I’m confused. We can’t be always reading through things and overreacting, right? I think it’s reasonable to think that sometimes our fear has a merit of truth? Mean people exist and humans change. Sometimes it’s good to take a hint to judge and filter people in your circle.

@ Alla Kitaeva I'm almost 70 yrs old, suffering from both of these disorders myself. After all of this time, going to therapist after therapist, I've come to the conclusion that aside from taking meds for bpd and adjusting to the adhd (which you have to do to avoid addiction), realizing 'the only one that can help me is myself, is important'. Dr. Phil says, "What's the payoff, what do you get in return", I thought these were great questions. You have to understand the problem in order to live with it, in fact hon, it'll always be with you, so you need to find productive ways to satisfy the need that's left, you need to get excited about something and let your disorder dive into it.

Thank you so much for your videos. :) I have ADHD and BPD, along with bipolar 2, depression, anxiety, PTSD, partial complex seizures in the inner cortex of my brain, and generalized mood disorder. I've been told by a professional that they thought I've been over diagnosed. I recently have been exposed to information about aspbergers/autism in women and that ASD can overlap with BPD and ADHD. I feel a diagnosis of ASD would explain (not exaggerating) nearly all of my symptoms I've been experiencing since my childhood. I've spent literally over half of my life in and out of talk therapy, medicating, lifestyle changes, etc. to behave out of alignment with my internal experience and more in alignment with my values and adaptive behaviors, but I do still experience those symptoms that coincide with ASD. I believe that I have BPD and ADHD as well- as diagnosed by professionals. I don't assume I am on the spectrum, but I have found it very helpful to learn more about it. I would immensely appreciate if you would make a video about the overlap between autism spectrum disorder and borderline personality disorder. I checked your website and didn't see info about comorbidity between the two, but I'm wondering if you or anyone else could point me in the direction of information you've put out on the subject or if anyone else has resources as well. Thank you so so much!

I've researched both for a long time and undertaken much reflection. I was told by a mental health professional I score highly for BPD but because I have held down a job. I shouldn't pursue it as I would regret it and my self harming wasn't as bad as the severe cases he had seen. I have used Dr Fox's books and worksheets when my BPD (based on that assessment and my own) is bad and it helped. Along with his videos. Which are very comforting, as some videos on BPD. Paint BPD very negatively which makes you feel more depressed. Ive taken various self assessments for ADHD and scored highly. I definitely have a motor that doesn't stop. I have been that hyperfocused that my speech has been impacted by tiredness but I kept working until I was literally struggling to articulate what I was saying. My Child is being assessed and was asked to explain the end point of a visual instruction to follow. We both got lost and could not follow. It was like the assessor was talking fast about words I knew but they felt random and in no recognisable pattern. My brain couldn't process. Same with mathematical formula. My brain feels like it goes in slow motion. But with other things I am very quick at connecting dots. All very confusing. Dr Fox if you ever offer online consultations count me in!

However, my mother has BPD and I see similar traits (regarding relationships) in myself, but I am outgrowing the need for drama. I still blow up in angry episodes but it is usually related to my poor executive functioning causing anxiety and then someone/something triggers me at the most inopportune moment.

I am diagnosed with both ADHD and borderline. My personality disorder developement has got to do with being raised by an autistic mother. My father is narcistic. In my childhood it looked like I was the one with autism and my parents were fine. During my whole childhood I thought everything about me is wrong and I should be gratefull with having 'normal parents' who did their best to take care of me. I am not angry anymore at my parents. I never was angry at my mother, because despite everything I always felt her true love towards me. I don't have contact with my father anymore because of self-protection - if I let him enter into my life again he will eventually start humiliating me on such a subtle way I will realise it afterwards. But it is so lonely. My anger goes mainly towards other people. I cannot blame my mother she doesn't understand me, because she just can't. Other people CHOOSE not to understand me. They let me down and they let my mother down and they will continue doing so, because they are ignorant and they refuse to take me seriously. The psychiatry is developing, however it doesn't matter because on this world nobody will help you. If you are weak then people are not interested in you. I have to deal with extreme procrastination behaviour. I am so used to fail about everything. I am sick and tired of people who say I should think more positively to gain self-esteem. People cannot force developing that by just saying they are fine. It's more important to find out why one has a low self-esteem.

I have both and I've been diagnosed 3 days ago. Honestly the diagnosis made everything so much brighter to me. I have had problems in school, but I was always able to manage them and help everything on a decent level, which made me literally proud when I got diagnosed, since I didn't hit the exact behavioral criteria for bpd, less for adhd, because of my hard work that I put into being a healthy person towards myself and others. I struggle a lot with inattentiveness, have struggled with addictions, but I've been able to manage them (I don't take anything anymore) and gosh my whole life, every romantic relationship has been a disaster in the end. I'm currently managing even that!!! I feel like I've really worked hard all my life against this diagnosis, not even knowing it was there and always thought about myself in terms of being different, but right now I am aware of just how much effort I've put to it...

@@alouise3557 I become tiring and exhausting, I have a tendency to pass the responsibility for my emotions and my well-being onto my romantic partner. Things that made perfect sense to me, for example I could be super angry at some point and then just casually dissociate and not even remember that, indicating that it wasn’t this much of a deal and I don’t understand why she is shocked or doesn’t understand my behavior. I would plan to do one thing and feel like it very deeply and strongly to just casually forget about it as if I never cared. I would try to fit in the needs of my partner, completely ignoring mine ones and not even being able to see them, then when I found out about them I would struggle communicating them, bursting out with anger at her only to apologize literally 2 seconds after that and say that I didn’t know what was happening with me. Well in the end I end up being a burden, not an autonomous entity, completely reliable on the other person to the point where she’s exhausted. That’s what she told me when she broke up with me. We’re friends now and receiving the diagnosis really helped either her and me understand what was happening. I think the worst thing that would be happening to me were the said outbursts of anger and dissociating afterwards. It made it really difficult to accept the responsibility for the uncontrolled behavior since it really didn’t seem real and didn’t feel like being me during the outbursts. I would apologize and not be able to understand what truly happened with me as I watched my partner still processing the situation from 30 seconds ago that I have struggle remembering and felt like it was not even me who did it.

I am not 100% sure if I have BPD (I only found out about it today on KZfaq), but I am pretty sure I have some sort of disorder. I just can't seem to figure out what it is I have. However, BPD sounds like what I experience. I don't have the money for a therapist or psychologist and currently I am out of work due to the place I worked at closing. So, doing lots of research is all I have right now. That part about the coffee pot was spot on with my experience. I have a few different impulsive behaviors and when I don't do them, the pressure builds up. I have anxiety and depression often and I act on my impulsive/addictive behaviors to make me feel better, but then I feel worse shortly after and it is a cycle. Thanks for the videos.

I’d be interested in understanding what comorbid adhd and bpd looks like and how it differs from comorbid bpd and autism, if that’s something you’re open to exploring. It seems to me like the social hindrances of being neurodivergent could contribute substantially to the development of bpd, and there are a lot of overlapping traits that probably influence presentation of each disorder in interesting ways, but I’ve never seen the dynamics covered in much depth.

I love your videos, truly.. As a woman who went undiagnosed with adhd until 4 months ago, I need to point out that your description of adhd impulsivity is correct except that the bpd impulsivity content especially substance abuse and spending sprees are also very typical of adhd. I think what you are getting at is where it comes from, bpd more of a bottle up of emotions/anxiety and impulsive reaction vs adhd trait impulsivity, not emotion driven but driven by lack of stimulation. I guess it gets messy because adhd can also be emotionally impulsive. Apparently we have higher trait impulsivity and bpd has higher state impulsivity

Talking about ADHD, you explain it with the observations of behaviour and not in a way that accurately conveys the actual experience/underlying behaviour - e.g. 'unable to wait your turn' is one effect, not the cause or key driver... if at all. I felt that it might be somewhat misleading in that the distinction wasn't clear if you intended to only describe observations or if you were attempting to describe the experience and drivers as well.
