Can BPD symptoms be reduced to the point of no longer meeting criteria?

My BPD symptoms have significantly reduced after DBT and removing negative relationships from my life. Is it possible to no longer meet the criteria ? Do I still say “yes I have BPD” ?

You will always have BPD because that is how brains are wired, but!! it does sound like DBT worked it’s magic!! If you have changed your habits and automatic thoughts then you’re working through your disorder more than battling it. I hope so much for a day I can relate to this post

DBT graduate here! Your brain has actually been rewired, and tho you've learned to manage, it doesn't mean those thoughts or episodes won't creep in, if triggered somehow. It's like diabetics...

It's like depression.... even when you don't have it at the time, it's still a condition you have
