Id like to hear from those that have/ are in DBT, or whatever other form of therapy for BPD to find out exactly how effective these treatments are at treating BPD.

I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago and remember having this as long as i can remember - and its getting worse. I used to cut, around 4 years ago, but dont anymore.

I have been looking into the different treatment options recently to find out what can be done and have read alot about DBT, but the data backing it seem unclear in that it claims to treat the symptoms of a disorder in the nuerology of the brain by creating tools for individuals to use to control the symptoms. Many websites claim that it can 'cure' it in that if you were reevaluated you would no longer be considered as having BPD - which sounds ridiculous to me.

It also seems that DBT simply gives you the tools to ignore/ hide the emotions you feel while these swings of emotion continue to happen.

Can anyone clarify this for me? How effective is it really?
