Talk to Psychiatry on A Psychologist Or A Psychiatrist?
Asking For Someone Else, Female, 15 years old, Karachi
of course, using the web to analyse an illness is not an accurate means of measure, but from research she checks out a lot of bpd symptoms. i've been noticing her deal with depression for years now, and for the past 2 years or so her behaviour has tilted towards 'episodes' that depict signs of bpd. for all i know, i could be wrong. but to make sure, which one should i get her to see, a psychologist or a psychiatrist?

you should see a psychiatrist. lateron she can develop a liason with a
psycholgist.
Asa. Psychologist are not best option for any mental illnesses....one has
to consult first psychiatrist for any such issue...if Psychiatrist think
that there is a need of psychological therapy so he or she can refer to
psychologist as well ...keep that in mind psychologist are not a health
care provider or doctors...
Secondly one cannot diagnose bpd on some or few symptoms.... evaluation
must be done .....
You need to visit psychiatrist first if require psychiatrist will refer you psychologist.
