Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by intense emotional swings, unstable relationships, impulsivity, and difficulty with self-image. Treatment for BPD is complex but highly effective with the right support. We offer a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to treating BPD, using both medication and psychotherapy to help you improve emotional regulation and relationships.
Pharmacologic treatments for BPD may include atypical antipsychotics or antidepressants, depending on the specific symptoms you’re experiencing. These medications help regulate mood swings, impulsive behavior, and anxiety that often accompany BPD.
Nonpharmacologic treatments include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based form of therapy designed to help individuals with BPD regulate emotions and tolerate distress. DBT teaches mindfulness skills, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance, which are essential for managing BPD symptoms. We may also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thinking patterns and improve coping skills. The treatment plan is always tailored to your unique needs, aiming for healthier emotional expression and improved relationships.
