Time Magazine Article-From Randi Kreger

[Guest guest]

The latest Time Magazine, dated January 19, 2008, has a long article about

borderline personality disorder, focusing of a form of treatment called

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It highlights a study that shows that BPD

is more prevalent than previously thought: 5.9 % of the population instead

of 2%. (And that's looking at only the conventional, lower-functioning

people with BPD!). That same study found that BPD affects men and women

equally. However, it states that medications are not useful-something that

many top psychiatrists in the National Education Alliance for Borderline

Personality Disorder would strongly disagree with. You can find accurate

information about medications on the site www.BPDDmystified.com

However (and obviously) this is a Great Thing. I wonder how many people will

be Googling " Borderline Personality Disorder " this week.

Here's the article:
