BPD recovery facts #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder
Might be tough to read but these are real facts.
Recovery (only 2 symptoms left out of the minimum 5 required to be diagnosed BPD, from DSM 5 list) takes between 2 to 10 years depending on severity.
Therapy is the only treatment. There are no chemicals able to cure BPD.
10 years therapy is efficient up to 80%.
Aging also helps as BPD behaviors decrease. It is at his highest between 20 and 30.
A cure with drugs can be prescribed to treat side symptoms like depression, anxiety, suicidal attempts, etc.
To the youngest members of our great family 😉, there is hope. BPD is now considered seriously and not as in 90's.
Average population with BPD is officially 2-4%, mostly women. But, numbers should be considered double with men who are more likely to commit suicide than women.
Many of dead men through suicide were certainly BPD.
Hope it helps.

You are NOT alone. You MATTER.
