Maybe rather than BPD being a mood disorder, due to some similarities with BiP, in a few years they will be deciding that rapidly cycling, affective mood disorders are actually PERSONALITY disorders and then THAT can be discussed instead.

Do psych meds help BPD'ers? Sure sometimes they do, usually all in the same way, by making us tired, flat and non-responsive. I read through the big thing at NIMH and, every medication that they used were the sort that just wipe you out. Yeah it's hard to be emotionally reactive when drugged down. Does that imply that they are both mood disorders?
