Among the most feared, and often reviled, of all mental disorders, BPD and its extreme symptoms have frequently been labeled intolerable and untreatable. But times and knowledge have changed—much stigma is being replaced with hope and recovery. Helen and Valerie will examine BPD from three perspectives: one who has it; one who has had intimate, difficult relationships with persons who have it; and one who has taught and enlightened hundreds of families and caretakers of those who have it. Join Valerie and Helen as they navigate Borderline Personality Disorder in a dynamic, controversial episode.
