In the mental world today it is not considered a viable diagnosis. It is very hard to identify and is now called dissociative disorder. Most are diagnosed with schizophrenia.

What is the difference between a borderline personality disorder and a personality disorder?

In sharp contrast to Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopathy) is another personality disorder, termed Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the problem is the opposite of the problem of the sociopath: the sympathetic nervous system of person with BPD responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!Meanwhile, in the true sociopath/psychopath, the fight-or-flight reaction is very brief, extremely difficult to sustain even in an emergency, and does not touch certain organs as it ought to do; sociopaths are chronically "bored" because they are literally half-asleep most of the time. (Even though they tend to look awake and behave in an alert, intense manner.)Additionally, although individuals with Borderline Personality tend to use manipulation in various forms such as malingering, these are usually intended to gain the concern or sympathy of perceived caregivers. In persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder, deceit and manipulation are used to gain material gratification such as money, gifts, etc. Also, personality features specific to APD, such as an extreme sense of entitlement, egocentricity, narcissism, and exaggerated self-assurance are typically absent in persons with BPD.


Are schizoid and schizophrenia the same?

No. In fact, multiple personality disorder is not what the disorder is called. Dissociative identity disorder is what most people call multiple personality disorder. It is a dissociative disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct patterns of behavior. There is actually little interference with the social, occupational, and education aspect of a person's life. Schizophrenia is a psychosis characterized by two or more of the following: delusions, hallucinations, disorders of thought, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms. It interferes extremely with social, occupational, and educational aspects of one's life.

How did they diagnose ADHD before technology was invented?

The first thing you should know is that the psyche is too complex for today's technology. There only is theory related to mental disorders and technology to map the brain (MRIs, PET scans, CT scans, etc.) Therefore, there is no definitive test for any mental disorder. It's not like a blood test where one can have definite results as to what their disease is. Instead, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists rely on things like personality inventories and intelligence tests and behavioral observation to determine a diagnosis. So basically, the answer to your question is that they are still doing it the same way they did before technology. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is the formal name today with the impulsive, hyperactive, inattentive, and combined types. It used to be ADD and before that, minimal brain dysfunction.
