With borderline personality disorder being something no ones chooses to have, I was curious to know if there were any cures to BPD. Turns out, there has been lots of research and debate about cures to BPD. While none of the research has found a 100% cure to the mental illness, they have found treatments to lessen the symptoms of the disorder.
One of the most popular treatments for borderline personality disorder is therapy, more specifically, talk therapy. Talk therapy is a technique used by therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists in order to help a patient talk through their issues and find solutions to them. Talk therapy can be held in many different environments such as one on one, in small groups, and in large talking circles.
Medication is also another type of treatment. Medication and talk therapy combined have been proven to be effective in treatment. Medications depend on your symptoms and underlying conditions of your mental health.
Unfortunately, there are sometimes when an individual with borderline personality disorder may have to be hospitalized. During hospitalization, the individual will receive treatment and be kept for a period of time depending on specific factors.
Treatments can sometimes be expensive or out of a person's way, but fortunately they are thing people suffering with BPD can do on their own. Eating healthier, exercising and getting a good night's sleep all can lead to a positive impact on their life. Other self care routines such as saying positive affirmations, treating yourself, and relaxing all can improve a person's mood whose struggling.
It is really sad how complicated brain diseases and disorders can be, and how hard it is to cure them. I really liked your post, though I would like it more if you included a bit more information, like a brief list of reasons why someone with BPD might need to be hospitalized.
