<- disclaimer: my response is a totally bpd black and white one.
Oh well I think the opening paragraph sucks:
Using real-time brain imaging, a team of researchers have discovered that patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are physically unable to regulate emotion.
I thought therapy was supposed to help me deal with things more effectively now why is this article saying we are PHYSICALLY unable to regulate emotion? My therapist would probably love the article. I never believed in CBT anyway.
The second paragraph doesn't make me feel much better either
The findings, by Harold W. Koenigsberg, MD, professor of psychiatry at Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggest individuals with BPD are unable activate neurological networks that would help to control feelings.
I feel crap after reading that.
I'm
not disputing the findings. Looks all legit to me.
I'm kind of doing exactly what the article says ... feeling all "emotional". Pfffft.
