Borderline Personality Disorder
Michelle Hoffman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Learning how to effectively parent a teenager who is displaying borderline tendencies can be counterintuitive. My goal is to support parents in understanding the 'whys' behind the behavior and how to respond in a way that meets their child's need while maintaining their family values. Please note: while I use DBT techniques, I am not a trained DBT practitioner.

Joy Mental Health and Psychiatry
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, board-certified APRN, PMHNP-BC
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) treatment primarily relies on psychotherapy, but medication can play a supporting role. Here's a breakdown:
Medication Management: No medications are specifically approved for BPD itself. However, a psychiatrist can prescribe medications to address co-occurring conditions often seen with BPD, such as anxiety, depression, or mood swings. Examples include antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or antipsychotics (in low doses).
Psychiatric Evaluation: A psychiatrist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose BPD and assess if medication can be helpful. This evaluation considers your symptoms, medical history, and potential medication interactions.
Key Points:
Medication is not a cure for BPD but can manage symptoms to improve overall functioning.
Medications are usually prescribed cautiously due to impulsivity sometimes associated with BPD.
Regular follow-up with a psychiatrist is crucial to monitor medication effectiveness and adjust dosages as needed.
