Interesting that you call BPD a mood disorder second. Living in Ithaca NY for two years decidedly shifted my sleep/wake patterns around sunlight exposure.

Generally we use BPD for borderline and BAD for bipolar in notes (bipolar affective disorder).

Very good post. With my students the time of year and residents I tell them you can literally tell the time of year by looking at my schedule, suddenly populated with BPD-depressed clients. or those with SAD, or those yet undeclared BPD. one question i always have had is…is there an officual name for the third photoreceptor? It would be more convenient than a paragraph every tine I discuss this very content.
