[2011] Female Psychopaths - Smear Campaigns, Bullying, Flattery, Lovebombing, High Testosterone and Self Pity by Thomas Sheridan  BPD was invented as a drug treatment programme. That's it. They had some new drugs and needed some made up "conditions" to boost sales. In other words big pharma in colusion with psychiatrists made it up. Good for business.
    What makes this BPD even more absurd is there have been no empirical or clinical evalutions done to test the validity of the diagnosis. If you look at what it is - nearly all the same sympthoms are psychopathic behaviour. Just another rebrading to sell drugs.
    Now what is really sickening is that the concept of a drug or treatment for BPD gives victims living with psychopaths now rebranded as "Borderline" a false hope of a "cure" while also the label is being applied to people who are non psychopathic and may just have emotional problems. It is a social timebomb if you ask me.
    One of the reasons why the stats of male v female psychopaths are so skewed is that most female psychopaths are being diagnosed as BPD rather than as psychopaths. This also allows them lenient treatment in courts on the basis that they can be medicated out of their pathology.
    Psychopathy/sociopathy is a pathology that is VERY easy to confirm. We have excellent diagnostic tools coupled with CAT scan technology which give a 100% spot on confirmation - no guess work. It is perhaps the most easily determined metal disorder of all. Yet more and more of these predators are being tagged as BPD and being allowed a free ticket to hunt at will. If they get caught. They can be "cured". A complete disaster in every way except for the psychopaths.
