"Kao and Jang also expressed their concern whether clinicians may code BPD in a“difficult”adolescent patient who actually did not meet the BPD criteria . This concern is not only a clinical issue but also a philosophical debate because some clinicians may be reluctant to diagnose BPD in younger individuals [8]. But, an exact diagnosis may indicate the comprehensive understanding in the psychopathology and further facilitates the prompt and optimal treatment [8, 9]. In a recent review, Chanen et al. have reported the importance of early identification of BPD symptoms and the prompt intervention programs for those young patients, which may reduce the subsequent adversities, such as early pregnancy in the current study [9]. Finally, when diagnosing and treating BPD in adolescents, I would like to remind that a clinical art of“too much water drowned the miller”should be carefully considered." |
