Thanks for your reply, Mitch. It is my suspicion the the shrink is in fact just trying the most likely drug to get the desired result and chose the BPD diagnosis to fit the med prescribed, but maybe that's not so bad? Anti-convulsants and anti-psychotics *do* treat many problems that they are not advertised to treat, like the Risperdal I take for depression. If this med helps the boy, with minimal side-effects, he will presumably suffer less. I hope so anyway.
