Hi loutfy
Thanks for your post!
Just like several physical conditions can be linked, so can mental illness so yes, people can exhibit symptoms of borderline personality disorder -especially with mood instability, but also more (click here for more information on BPD : http://www.empowher.com/condition/borderline-personality-disorder ) as well as classic symptoms of Bipolar Disorder - read more on that here and when you compare symptoms, you can see certain similarities : http://www.empowher.com/condition/bipolar-disorder.
However, someone with one of these disorders does not necessarily have to have the other.
Best,

This was a very interesting post. For those with BPD and are looking for ways of treating it, a really good website to check out would be http://OnlineCEUcredit.com/edu/BPD-tf. It offers a great video and information about passive response choices to help BPD patients better communicate with others. Hope this is helpful.
