Can someone who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder be a psychologist. I was diagnosed and am currently pursuing my Psy D in clinical psychology.

Yes, someone with a personality disorder can become a psychologist. The movie "Silence of The Lambs" is an example of this. I've been told that they actually make the bests psychologists as they've worked with and through their own problems and disablilities.
