Vague answers get vague responses.\n- Ask directly: *\"Can you refer me to community mental health services for an assessment?\"* GPs often can't diagnose BPD themselves — you want a referral to a psychiatrist or community mental health team.\n- If you feel dismissed, you can ask what the referral pathway is and request it be noted in your file.
