A friend of mine was just recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. She has been in therapy for yours though, and had a very tough childhood including childhood abuse and caring for her half sister during her teens. I am glad they found out what is the matter with her, so she can get some treatment! So, just how do they treat borderline? Is it just therapy or are there meds as well?
Medications are sometimes used to stabilize mood swings that are so often experienced by those suffering from borderline personality disorder, but the actual treatment of borderline personality disorder consists of various forms of therapy. I hope that helps! There are some support groups for family of borderline sufferers around online if that interests you as well.
