To be emotionally naked before the world, Nick Viveiros writes, is among the scariest things one can do. Diagnostic Features, his third poetry collection, chronicles Viveiros' experience living with borderline personality disorder, a complex mental health condition characterized by challenges with emotion regulation, fluctuating self-image, and difficulty managing interpersonal relationships. Utilizing the nine diagnostic criteria employed by psychologists to diagnose borderline in a clinical setting as a framework, Viveiros explores the central themes of his condition through a combination of prose pieces and poetic works. Raw, introspective and occasionally witty, Diagnostic Features relies on unconventional form and Viveiros' unique poetic style to dissect and explain the highly-stigmatized condition that defined his youth, adolescence and young adulthood.
