Specificity of affective instability in patients with borderline personality disorder compared to posttraumatic stress disorder, bulimia nervosa, and healthy controls.
Philip Santangelo,Iris Reinhard,Lutz Mussgay,Regina Steil,Günther Sawitzki,Christoph Klein,Timothy J. Trull,Martin Bohus,Ulrich W. Ebner-Priemer +8 more
TL;DR: The results give raise to the discussion if affective instability is a transdiagnostic or a disorder-specific mechanism, and investigating psychopathological mechanisms in everyday life across disorders is a promising approach to enhance validity and specificity of mental health diagnoses.
