I believe, my spouse suffers from BPD. Have got enough symptoms to convince me on the same. How do I convince her for psychiatrist evaluation? This is not an easy discussion and can backfire. She will never agree on same that she needs something like that as it is considered taboo. Has anyone done in past? Any tips?
One thought is that make it look like your problem or combined problem and prep the doctor. With this let Doctor validate your theory
Yeah, she might be hearing "you are crazy" from your communication. Do you have someone else she trusts who can talk to her? Maybe her parents, friends... Or maybe not psychiatrist, but start with psychologist or even a general physician.
Smaller steps. Psychologist for CBT first?
Maybe she’s unhappy in her marriage. Try staring with that conversation as going straight to BPD is a lose-lose.
