Deneb, he says that therapy is "often worse than nothing IN PHYSICAL ILLNESS." And think about that? What would a physical illness be? Let's say he's talking about appendicitis. What does therapy look like for that? Probably some hot or cold packs to reduce discomfort, right? Maybe some analgesic? What does appendicitis actually need? Medications and surgery.

I don't agree with him about the value of therapy, but otherwise I think he was very knowledgeable, and I did agree with much of what he wrote.

And Deneb? Before you get upset about it all, think about this: MANY doctors will say that there's nothing to be done about BPD; that no medication will help people with BPD; that there's nothing biological, it's just a personality defect, etc. This guy may be hitting the "BPD is Biological" drum a little harder than he might otherwise, just as a way to counter what so many other doctors are saying. Sometimes you have to think about that, too. I was actually pretty impressed with some of his answers, because he seemed to be advocating for people with BPD.

I'm sorry you were upset by that site. I hope you can find the good in it, too.
