There is a misunderstood belief that women have BPD more often than men, old studies report about 76% female and 24% male, but these old studies are actually flawed due to sampling bias and other methodological errors. This error is even published in the DSM5, the mental health diagnostic “bible”. More recent studies show no gender differences when controlled for these errors. This video is directed at clearing up this confusion to help you understand and recognize these differences.

The gender problem persists as we believe that BPD presents in the same manner for both genders. By doing this, we miss key distinctive factors to accurately identify BPD in males. A lot of the confusion resides in females being diagnosed with BPD who actually meet criteria for ASPD, and males who meet criteria for BPD being misdiagnosed with ASPD.
Men with BPD were more likely to have comorbid narcissistic, antisocial, paranoid, and schizotypal personality disorders, alcohol and substance use disorders but less likely to have dependent and obsessive–compulsive personality disorders compared to women with BPD. For those who may not know, Schizotypal PD is characterized by discomfort in close relationships, cognitive or perceptual distortions, and eccentricities of behavior.
