Don't listen to the crap about it not being treatable.There is very little to zippo hard biological evidence that BPD...or any other personality disorder for that matter...actually exists. BPD is mainly a psychological label for "pain in the ass" or "hard to treat" patients. Its also given to rebellious patients. Its also given to those who dont respond to drugs well, sometimes a patient will not respond well to any drug or drug cocktail and the psychiatrist will do the blame the patient thing real bad and assign them a label of BPD.
Major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar depression, OCD, anxiety disorders...these are all REAL biologically based mental illnesses. BPD is an axis 2 disorder, with no real physical symptoms and the diagnosis has ruined one too many psych patients who already have things rough enough as it is.
Psychiatrists would be better off spending their time going back to school to learn Neurology, rather than wasting time perpetrating these psychobabble notions which helps nobody.
