BPD

- Medication
- BPD / EUPD is not considered an illness in the usual meaning of the word and medication has a very limited role in recovery from BPD / EUPD which can disappoint a distressed individual and their family who often understandably would like a rapid remedy. If a crisis can be managed with support but without medication it greatly enhances the individual’s confidence in dealing with future crises. Nevertheless some medications may be helpful in managing specific symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or aggressive outbursts. If external controls such as medication are relied upon without making the necessary coping style changes, it may ultimately hinder rather than effectively address the underlying condition. Often, as individuals gain mastery over their emotional turmoil and find more adaptive ways of managing distress, medication, if prescribed, may then be reduced and sometimes phased out.
