Hi! I always tell them about my diagnosis so they can fully assist me with my symptoms or whatever support I need and understand my relationship dynamics. But it’s really up to you and what you’re comfortable with and what you’re needing assistance with

Hi, it great that you're trying to get into therapy for your bpd. I've been open with my therapist, psychiatrist & social worker about my physical & mental health cause they go hand-in-hand. It's best to tell them about your diagnosis so they can better help you with treatment or whatever support you may need from them

Absolutely tell them your condition. In the long run they will figure out what they need to buy themselves. Be as open as you can and in return you will get better treatment

Getting a specialist in BPD can also be super helpful. I have a friend who sees a therapist who only takes clients with BPD and it seems to be extremely helpful.
