I am interested to find subtle differences in presentation and other symptoms of older people with borderline personality disorder ( bpd )

As I continue my research and build my knowledge in this area I find it curious that not more work has been done in this area which would greatly assist the therapist whether they be a psychologist or counsellor in the areas of understanding the mind of an older person and therapies to assist the client more holistically in therapy

I am curious to understand if there is possible new presentations of BPD in older age , as was the case in myself as a patient the possibility symptoms that otherwise would not appear earlier .

Or are we to assume that older people have had BPD from a younger age ?

Interested in your thoughts in this area as I increase my knowledge my masters in Counselling ( Mental Health practices) at the University of Southern Queensland

Kind regards
