Olivia-Well I'm glad that someone is enjoying the discussion. Olive, i personally think there's little difference. It's interesting to me to hear others views about this.
Anyone who I ever spoke to with borderline-so called psychological illness-takes similar medications as those with biological illnesses. My family member on disability gets treated for bipolar-with lithium-but has an attachment issue like me-but never diagnosed or treated for it and is totally unaware of it. Partly due to fact there is no 'self injury' involved...
Not referring to n=1, there's alot of people out there oblivious to their psychological problems because their defense mechanisms are so thick...it's estimated by studies that up to 50% of the mental health population have concurrent PDs! That doesn't include those with merely maladaptive/PD traits...Don't take my word for it-the information is all out there...and my Pdoc, whose treated 100s, if not 1000 of patients, would be the first to agree despite my lack of psyche education.
p.s. thanks for the definition Morgan, I got the 2 mixed up, no need to go to school as there is always Wiki to refer to when in doubt :)
