Intellectual Disability and BPD Testing

Hello,

In the case of those with intellectual disability and borderline intellectual function, what is the best way to test for a personality disorder? Should it be done by a neuropsychologist? I would think this population would also need a neuropsychological exam and a doctor who looks into their history.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I posted here because I know that some people with ID either have BPD or are misdiagnosed with it.

Thank you

I'm not a Psych., but I'll chime in with my 2¢.

The official answer is, it depends. Going by the official ID diagnosis (as per DSM-V), it looks like the IQ test is the primary standardized test used in criterion A; criteria B & C don't have required tests. Any C.Psych can administer that one, though it's more likely that neuropsychs will do it.

Where a neuropsych really shines is when you want to find out what part of your brain is causing the problem. They have a whole other battery of tests at their disposal that can help you to isolate a problem. This may help you be able to predict and plan more effectively for future events; it has for me.

Snaga:

As per the DSM-V, yes, you can be diagnosed with intellectual disability and other things as well. The APA even mentions a few common comorbidities, such as ADHD, Bipolar and MDD.
