OP- first of all, glad there's another Camus fan on this forum.

I know what you mean about media and BPD. I remember watching SVU once and the murderer/stalker was said to have BPD.

What's worse though is I work in the mental health field and some of the stuff they say about people with BPD is horrendous. In fact, they often say worse stuff than about sociopaths or narcissists. My thoughts are that this system of managed care and this modality of treatment available today is simply too little to handle people with BPD. PwBPD are the epitome of human trauma, they are very traumatized, abused, and wounded people and it often takes a team to help them recover and manage themselves. Unfortunately, the system is nowhere near ready to handle them and stigmatizes them often. It's not just TV, lol. It's the people who are paid and tasked to treat them. It's very sad.
