Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am experiencing problems with dream-reality confusion. Is this indicative of borderline personality disorder? I envision something and discover it has previously occurred in the exact location with the same dress code, as well as some dreams that are becoming actual after some time. I also struggle with concentration. Why do you think this is happening?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Based on the information provided above, it is difficult to say if you have a borderline personality disorder; it is insufficient for a diagnosis. You could be experiencing déjà vu (a feeling of having already encountered the present situation). However, it is normal and unimportant unless it interferes with your daily life.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
