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!

My story is a bit triggering for me to write about right now, but maybe one day we can have a conversation about it

Just replying to your thread to let you know our dx are very similar (although sure our symptoms will be different as we are all unique individuals)

I have

BP
BPD
GAD
OCD

See you here around the forums
