Why is borderline personality disorder so hard to treat & few dr's take those cases?

It's not fair what do we do? Kill ourselves. I don't give up like some butt holes say I do. It's mainly lack of funds. Our county mental health serives are WAY overcrowded %26amp; there is no place that offers free DBT. Since no 1 will hire a borderline I can't get insurance anyway. What BS! IMO ganja is the best way to cope with this curse!Why is borderline personality disorder so hard to treat %26amp; few dr's take those cases?
I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I had DBT classes for about a year and they were only a little helpful. Psychotherapy is the best way to go. I've never been rejected by any mental health professional because I have BPD. Are there any clinics near you that work on a sliding scale fee?





Good luck and take care of you!

Treatment





Treatments for BPD have improved in recent years. Group and individual psychotherapy are at least partially effective for many patients. Within the past 15 years, a new psychosocial treatment termed dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was developed specifically to treat BPD, and this technique has looked promising in treatment studies. Pharmacological treatments are often prescribed based on specific target symptoms shown by the individual patient. Antidepressant drugs and mood stabilizers may be helpful for depressed and/or labile mood. Antipsychotic drugs may also be used when there are distortions in thinking.
BPD is not that hard to treat, it depends where you are on a continuum. First get an appointment and ask to be enrolled in an IMR group before DBT. This illness use to be called Chronic/Clinical Depression and with proper meds and education it is treatable. Never give up, talk it out.
I liked G F's answer. See BPD, at http://www.ezy-build.net. (.net.nz/~shaneris ) on page 15. What about checking the groups at Yahoo, Myspace, and Google? Some of the BPD sufferers there would have found therapists using DBT, and be articulate and willing enough to pass on those techniques. Then you could organise by location, and use the co-counselling method on page 2, together in small groups, or all look for such a therapist, using the locators on page 1, and all chip in to subsidise one suitable person to attend therapy first, then co-counselling later. In those ways, you could get much of the benefits, with a minimum of cost.
