I just wanted to share some information that I discovered through some MedCircle videos, presented by clinical psychologist and professor, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, who sources Theodore Millon, leading researcher and theorist on personality disorders.

Doing more research into BPD subtypes, it seems they come from Theodore Millon and at least in comments on posts, others seem to agree they are simply functioning levels. Theodore Millon was born in 1928 so it's not particularly modern. As well as it being just a theory he came up with that people with BPD can exhibit one or more or even none of these types. So if they can exhibit none then why do they need to be there?

He died in 2014 so he was still alive in the modern day, but still. The fact these types come from someone that, as far as I can tell, does not have BPD and was born that long ago only makes them feel more outdated.

I also don't see the benefit of categorizing the disorder or any personality disorder. It's not some separate thing like bipolar 1 versus bipolar 2. It really just feels limiting and like a box for a complex disorder to fit into which limits people imo more than it helps.
