By which I mean that towards the bottom, they acknowledge that they don't know which came first. It makes waaay more sense to me that the brain differences make depression more likely.
Especially given the clear link between biology and the rejection sensitivity portion of BPD? The physostigmine challenge.
I think they need to a heck of a lot more studies on the biological basis of BPD, and they'll find out a lot of things about mood disorders in general. I've never thought of BPD as a monolithic entity, but more as a cluster.
It occurs to me that sensitivity to criticism might be closely related to rejection sensitivity. And that if they yank that out of the province of BPD, they'll find a far larger link to depression in people without BPD than they now recognize.
