-------------------------------------------
The current treatment for BPD is CBT which has shown very good results and is close to receiving funding in many states as an "evidence based practice".Published in July 2004 in Psychiatric Times:
"Great strides have been made in understanding the etiologies, neurobiology and longitudinal course of BPD. An evidence-based practice guideline has been developed for the disorder, and a growing number of studies demonstrate that carefully planned and administered treatment can be effective for many patients with BPD."
To post that url with one simple sentence saying, "Borderline personality disorder has a poor outlook because noncompliance with treatment is common" sounds to me to be to be very unsupportive of the many posters here with BPD. It's also an outdated perspective in the field of BPD treatment. I feel that your additional comment, "don't expect a great oucome" would certainly be disheartening for a poster with BPD.
The nature of this forum is education and support. I feel your post lacked these components.
