What are the smptoms of borderline personality disorder
Hello, I am a 44 year old father of a 16 year old boy. My son has been showing strange behaviour and I feel there is something wrong every time I talk to him. It’s like him but still not him. I can’t understand what is happening and google searches can’t help either. Please tell me what are the symptoms of borderline personality disorder?

Children in their teenage years are known to exhibit a variety of behaviors that might be considered 'weird' or 'not normal'. However a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder cannot be made until the individual turns 18 years of age. You might need to elaborate on the kind of behavior your son has been exhibiting so that the right help can be provided.

Instead of going for diagnosis using google search try to understand your son in teenage. Provide your unconditional support and love as a mother. Just think that you too had a teenage. Don't expect your child to behave exactly like you think. Don't compare him with others of his age. Acknowledge his individuality. You may consult a mental health professional for help. They will do diagnosis and make a treatment plan if required.
