Are there any natural treatments for borderline personality disorder?!


Question: 'Borderline Personality Disorder' is a very controversial diagnosis. In fact, most psychiatrists do not even consider it to be valid, and there has been pressure for many years for it to be removed from the DSMV.

I read a lot about it years ago when a client of mine was diagnosed with this. Much of what I found on-line mentioned it as a 'garbage can' diagnosis, meaning that when a person's mental/emotional health issues don't seem to meet the criteria for any other conditions, BPD ends up being that 'other' category. In other words, its lazy psychiatry. It also seems to be very biased towards women.

What I did for my client was to address what she wanted to change about herself, rather than what somebody else thought was wrong with her.

As a Herbalist, I cannot recommend any treatments for such a blanket diagnosis, but if you were to list off what specific problems you are experiencing, I would be more than happy to try to help.
