Narcs and sociopaths don't care and rarely ever seek help. Only our schizo cousins share this dilemma we are in. I suppose for some people with just bpd and are really dedicated and motivated to get better and stick with it, and have the money for long term therapy, for them, the prognosis may be better and good for them! For most of us, we are in for a long and rough ride.

Funding seems to be a widespread problem.
Where i'm from, people aren't diagnosed with personality disorders until they're over 18. I didn't respond to DBT which i fought for over a year to get locally referred too and unfortunately MBT isn't something generally available here just yet. And it would have to be in my county anyway as my health trust won't fund out of area treatment due to budget cutbacks.
I can't hold down a high paying job to self fund or have an insurance plan that probably wouldn't cover what i'd need anyway.
So it seems for me that because i wasn't born to the right postcode i somehow need to get my hands on a load of money instead *sigh*
