People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can experience the mental health condition differently. Yet, there’s a considerable overlap of symptoms in men and women. Men and women are more similar in showing symptoms of BPD than they are different.

If you’re a woman looking for a quick and accurate BPD test, then taking a test tailored for women with BPD is a good idea.
