One of the most highly misunderstood mental health conditions, borderline personality disorder is a very emotionally concerning issue for many. People are often confused on how it manifests and this can seriously affect its diagnosis and long-term outcomes. As it’s a mental health condition, people always ask us- can BPD be treated? The answer is- yes, it can be.
While borderline personality disorder might not have a solution as per say, its long-term treatment plan can serve as a solution to labour functional life. It does not have a permanent cure but research and clinical practice is taking necessary steps to find the same. At Tulasi Healthcare, we ensure that each individual under our care experiences significant recovery and improves quality of life with our holistic support and intervention programs.
The characteristic feature of this disorder is unstable, emotional patterns, impulsive decisions and behaviours, abandonment problems, and shifting sense of being. It can be very difficult for those who live with it because they cannot understand what they’re going through and not even convey the same. However, Hope still remains as BPD is one of the conditions that has a high chance of treatment among all the personality disorders.
A study in the American journal of psychiatry showed that more than 85% of people over 10 years, maintain their long treatment and sustain it. The study showed that with time the intensity of symptoms of BPD can be reduced, which serves as a very positive feedback for all the treatment plans.
Dialectical behavioural therapy has been shown to have a very high efficacy and treatment of borderline personality disorder. Here the technique combines cognitive behavioural therapy along with mindfulness and emotional regulation to draw results.
A review in the Journal of personality disorders showed that DBT was able to reduce suicidal behaviour in clients, showing signs of self farm and high emotional dysregulation.
