What is Quiet BPD?

_{Quiet BPD refers to Dr. Theodore Millon’s Subtypes of BPD, in which someone with BPD may not display BPD symptoms in an overt or external manner. They typically experience significant inner turmoil that they keep hidden, or quiet, from others.People with Quiet BPD may have intense feelings of emotional instability, impulsivity, fear of abandonment, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships, but they often do not display these symptoms outwardly.Quiet BPD is not an official diagnostic category in the DSM-5, and the term is not recognized by all mental health professionals. However, the subtypes are a concept that people use to describe their experiences with BPD.}
