Just deal with it. Bpd is just a label. Forget long term pharmacuetical crap. Gym and healthy lifestyle and food will make life so much more bearable for the person diagnosed.

The sad part about it is that person diagnosed decides to stay on "denial" mode.

@Teddybear: Thats ashame. Is the person in question young?

@Perry4444: is middle age. And I don't want to say that as it goes: "that it's difficult for an old dog to change its ways" because I believe one can make positive changes once person decides they need to change for the better. Most everything is possible when we put our minds to it. But when it's a matter of dealing with a chemical imbalance...I don't know.

@Teddybear: Chemical imbalances can be changed. Short term theres the anti depressant solution like quetriapine. Mirtazapine etc but tbh not good drugs at all. Check out drJohn Bergman on youtube. He covers lots of health aspects but does one on retraining the brain. Something u may want to check out now u may have to learn how to understand this persons condition. Even if they are initially in denial.

@Perry4444: I been checking out utube. My effort is to try to understand these illnesses so I may become more understanding (through education) for the sake of all involved/effected by this person's cruel behavior (tantrums).
