Diagnosing Dean - The BPD Debate

Oh boy, leave it to Sandra to want to explore a topic that got Karlee supercharged with feelings. There have been many discussions about dissecting what exactly makes Dean Winchester tick. So, Sandra and Karlee are here to add their two cents with the help of a long-time listener, Ms. Autobahn. They’re debating the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) diagnosis of Dean that’s floated about on the Internet for some time.

Disclaimer: Sandra and Karlee are not psychologists or therapists and are utilizing the DSM-5 Criteria for studying and discussing a fictional character - Dean Winchester.
