Abstract

In two women aged 35 and 21 years, the initial diagnosis 'borderline personality disorder' was changed to 'bipolar disorder'. These disorders are separate entities with different therapy, but may resemble each other very much. It may be necessary to use heteroanamnesis and family anamnesis and to follow the patient for some time in order to establish whether there are mood disorders.
