A member asked:

Could a woman ever love a man with borderline personality disorder, and can that man be a good husband/father?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Borderline personality disorder (bpd) once thought to be difficult to treat, is now known to be treatable and even curable depending on the severity. If a man with bpd stays in therapy and takes medication (if needed), he has the potential to be a good husband and father if he's highly motivated.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed

If a male has fathered a child, does that mean he could not have Cystic Fibrosis? I read that about 97% of men with CF are missing the Van Deferens, so if a child was conceived normally, would that exclude him from having a mild form of this disease?
