Borderline Personality Disorder: A Guide to Understanding and Managing BPD

by Amanda Allan

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
Borderline Personality Disorder is one of the most misunderstood disorders, and it can be especially difficult for loved ones to cope with and understand. People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are almost constantly experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. Even the smallest of things can trigger some really strong emotions, which can be incredibly difficult for these people to regulate.
As with most mental disorders, there is a lot of confusion, misunderstanding, and stigma surrounding BPD. This book aims to remove this stigma by educating the reader on what it actually means to have BPD, as well as through detailing what the treatment process may look like.
There is a lot of hope for people with BPD. As you will soon find out, there are numerous treatment methods including pharmaceutical, therapeutic, and alternative treatment options. These treatments, along with the education and support of loved ones can often provide transformative relief from BPD symptoms and help to keep the person with BPD safe, healthy, and living an enjoyable life.
