On the other hand, recent research is suggesting many women with this dx have a rapid cycling cylothymia, ie a mood disorder that fluctuates frequently, and can be interpreted as a personality instability, or alternatively, as a mood disorder. It is likely that many women with symptoms suggesting BPD have both a predisposition to a mood disorder of the rapid cycling type, as well as the traumatic or conflictual upbringings.
