I often wondered if i have borderline personality disorder or another pd, i seem to fit all the symptoms. what would be my treatment if diagnosed?

W/ me, Talk therapy: I'd utilize relationship building talk therapy to watch the process as trust waxes & wanes and increase tolerance for discomfort with positive & negative feelings. If there was a need for severe depression or manic symptom control with meds, i'd refer out for that. I've not had to so far. Historically (i do mean way back) i thought of this as a re-parenting issue and i'd try to correct for it.

BPD: Main tx is dialectical behavior therapy. Medications are used to control & contain symptoms of mood dysregulation, anxiety, psychosis, etc.

Borderline PD: People with borderline pd usually need long term psychotherapy -- generally insight-oriented. Many of the issues are interpersonal, & will probably arise in relationship with the therapist. Working through them provides opportunity for healing. Dialectical behavioral therapy is additional help with skills to manage painful emotions. Medications for depression, anxiety, and psychotic episodes.

DBT: Dbt, or dialetic behavioral therapy, formulated and developed by marsha linehan, pH.D. Is currently though of as being very effective. Borderline personality disorder or treatment is more a management issue than an issue that is curable.
