Ugh, that's ridiculous. I was under the impression that BPD can coexist with other mental illnesses, like OCD, depression, anxiety, etc. So it would seem like they could try to treat coexisting/comorbid conditions with medication. I mean, I have panic disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD, and recurring major depression. It's not like they said "Well, you have panic disorder, so you can't be depressed" or something. I know BPD is considered a personality disorder, so it's a little different maybe in how they view it? But if what they're doing isn't helping you, I just don't get why they aren't willing to try something different...
Thanks for this!
