Coping with Borderline Personality Disorder
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In his column on mental health, clinical psychologist Hap LeCrone offers information about Borderline Personality Disorder. It’s a problem that has been found in roughly 2 percent of the U.S. population.
People suffering from BPD typically experience chronic and intense patterns of instability. According to LeCrone, “this disorder is higher in females and usually begins in adolescence and early adult years. Symptoms often gradually diminish in middle and later life.”
Maintaining a relationship with someone who suffers from BPD also can be difficult. Loved ones often feel they are being manipulated or that they must walk on egg shells.
Have you dealt with BPD? What has been the best treatment plan?
