Borderline Personality Disorder and ADHD
Russell Barkley, PhD - Dedicated to ADHD Science+
@russellbarkleyphd2023About
This channel is dedicated to disseminating the science about ADHD. It is based on Dr. Barkley's 45 years of clinical practice, research, and teaching and his many books and scientific papers. In 2023, he was named by Research.com as the 37th most influential researcher in the US and 65th in the world in terms of the impact of his research on psychological science as attested to by how often his research is cited by others. He has recently retired. In anticipation of his retirement, he has created videos of more than 30 hours of his lectures that have been posted here for laypeople and professionals alike. Although the initial videos posted here are in their original length as given at conferences, most videos have now been broken down into shorter segments, numbered sequentially, and organized into playlists for ease of viewing.

Video Description
00:00 Introduction to the topic 00:33 PowerPoint Presentation on the base rates and percent overlap of these disorders 02:59 Why are the disorders more often co-occurring than by chance alone? 07:36 The diagnostic criteria for BPD and their overlap and distinction from ADHD 18:58 Treatments for the disorders – shared and distinct approaches 21:09 Conclusion This video discusses the co-occurrence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) with ADHD, the reasons for this overlap, including similar diagnostic criteria in some instances, and the differing treatments for each. PLEASE NOTE: I occasionally misidentify BPD as bipolar disorder in this video as their acronyms are similar and I am old. I believe I caught and corrected most of these at the time when they happened. But there are several times where I am discussing bipolar disorder and I didn’t correct those occasions. Apologies for any confusion.
