i was diagnosed at 15 and it's been on my diagnosis list on/off ever since, i don't really agree with it but i pretty much had it re-diagnosed just to get back to bpd bc it's the only therapy program that has actually been available to me, but they dropped me because i told them about my dissociative symptoms and alters. so now i have the suckiest diagnosis and no treatment <3
I would get the checked with another psychiatrist because you cant get diagnosed with a personality disorder under 18 normally
i've had like 7 different doctors since then and the diagnosis shares opinions, i kinda hate having it because it creates such a strong mental image in people working in (psych) healthcare. the only reason i wanted to have it re-diagnosed was because it's a requirement to get into dbt
not to say you don't have it or anything but in my experience doctors kind of just go with the diagnoses that are put
