Answers:
BPD is not related to schizophrenia!.

BPD can include some forms of hallucinations, but I think docs attribute those to more psychological ones, not biochemical!. The trick is figuring if that's what they really are or if they are in fact physiological!. If physiological, then you probably have a comorbid illness such as bipolar or one of the schiz's or possibly may have been misdiagnosed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think hallucinations can somtimes be part of BPD, but it is not always the case!. Not everyone with BPD automatically has hallucinations so it does not mean you have it!.

Talk to your mental health provider and explain the hallucinations!. They should be able to tell you more about what you are experiencing!. Good luck!

Also, how do you know they aren't part of the spirit world!? I watched a program about child psychics that see dead sprits!. I always think "Well, what if they are just suffering from mental illness!." Can't that be applied to people with people that see hallucinations!. Couldn't they just be seeing the spirit world!?

Just curious, what kinds of things do you see!? Do you see ghosts or spirits!? Maybe you are a psychic!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know what the poster above is talking about, but Borderline has NOTHING to do with schizophrenia!.

It sounds like you may have been misdiagnosed!. Sometimes Bipolar and Borderline look very much alike, but you wouldn't be hallucinating with Borderline!. Some people with bipolar DO hallucinate and experience other psychotic symptoms!.

I suggest you get a second opinion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, Borderline Personality Disorder is a form of Schitzophrenia, in which case you would see things and hear things as well as experience hallucinations!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well visual hallucinations associated with stress are common with BPD!.
But I suspect you're looking for an identity by seeking diagnosises!. Be careful! Once you're diagnosed, it's a long road!Www@Answer-Health@Com

BPD does not cause Hallucinations!.

BPD is not a form or type of scizophrenia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
