Borderline Personality Disorder: Not a Life Sentence

 

Until this last decade, Borderline Personality Disorder was often seen as a very hard-to-treat, if not impossible disorder. Even today some professionals roll their eyes at the very mention of the term. That's unfortunate and unfair. BPD is very treatable and most people can recover with proper treatment.
