Borderline Personality Disorder Simplified | Diagnosis & Treatment of BPD | A Psychiatrist Explains

As a person with BPD. As I've had self-discovery the most surprising trait was my lack of memory during an outburst.

So glad he said our suicide attempts are not attention seeking threats. From my experience with many therapists and groups this is a concept they did not get and wrongfully diagnose people with BPD traits as borderline.

This is the best explanation I've heard. I like the words, complex trauma disorder, instead of borderline personality disorder. When I was younger, before being diagnosed, I literally thought I was insane. Until I found DBT, I was a ticking time bomb. I have BPD, CPTSD, SAD, severe depression and anxiety. I manage things much better these days, but the anger takes over at times. And it's always directed towards myself. I thank God every day because someone was looking out for me. It's such a difficult thing for me to even wrap my head around, and most of my family and friends don't understand. It's an everyday journey of love and compassion. Be kind, always. Thanks for this great video! ❤️

As someone who has BPD and has friends with BPD the words “borderline personality disorder simplified” made me literally laugh out loud.

I had a friend with BPD who I liked a lot and had a very close and personable relationship with who I can no longer associate with. Due to the anger and rage issues that they have displayed on me multiple times. I do understand they have a tough time controlling this, but I can no longer be around to protect my own mental health.

Excellent explanation- love how respectful and non-judgmental this is.

That car analogy is the best I’ve heard as someone with BPD

I have bpd. It was worse when a teen but I've noticed it being manageable as I got into my 20s. Very good explanation.

as someone with bpd, I long to not feel how I feel...all of the time. Its horrible. Like sometimes Im afraid of myself. Makes me feel like a monster. It sucks and I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I wanna learn as much as possible so I can work on improving my behavior..like my anger and my difficulty understanding those grey areas of life. And to stop the flashbacks that makes me a monster (i have ptsd as well)

It’s a personal difficulty with coping during difficult or expected situations. They struggle to be consistent and when a change or potential change appears it’s difficult to know what will really happen next

My girlfriend and mother of my child was diagnosed as bipolar 1, which I believe to be accurate, but I also think she suffers from BPD. I’ve heard that it’s not uncommon to suffer from both. Impulsive and attention seeking behaviors, black/white thinking, identity changes, fear of abandonment, history of trauma (but as an adult), suicidal behavior and narcissistic traits, but there are times she seems so genuine and self aware.

My girlfriend has bpd and I'm trying to understand her better she has a hard time explaining herself I'll love her no matter what thank you for opening my views and eyes on this thanks 🙏

I have a Masters degree in SW, and ironically, I never learned anything as helpful as this video in School or out of school. This video is really great. The video is a great summation.

I don't think there are any words to describe how much this video has helped me.

I like the way he explains BPD. And I like his voice, someone's speaking voice can affect a person's mood, you know? His is very calming and clear. Thanks Dr. Rege.

This is very informative. I love listening to you.

This was right on point with my mind omg. Thank you

I have seen many videos on bpd and yours is one of the best! Thanks

By far the most helpful and encompassing video on BPD that I've seen on youtube. So helpful, thank you doctor.

i’ve recently been putting in a lot of effort into treating my possible CTD, so this video really means a lot to me. i appreciate the depths you went into to explain things, it makes everything seem more tolerable and less scary. thank you.
