Hi...I am new also to the diagnosis of BPD...It seems there are no meds to treat BPD itself but meds to treat symptoms like depression and anxiety etc. Good luck

BPD is actually new to me too, 4life. But I do know that there's no one cause of the disorder: it could be a variety of things. From emotional estrangement when younger, or genetic, or anything else, different things contribute to it. Also, there aren't any medicines specifically for BPD, but DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) is considered one of the most effective treatments... I hope this helps!
