QUESTION:

Which doctors and therapist treat BPD?

DR. HELLER'S ANSWER:

There are many locations to find the names of individuals treating those with the borderline disorder. The National Institute of Mental Health has one, the website BPD Central has one, and the BPD Sanctuary has one.

The biggest problems are that many don't believe the BPD is a medical problem, that many believe psychoanalysis is the best option, that most don't believe in making all the diagnoses and treating them comprehensively, and that most do not prescribe medications as needed. I would be thrilled to hear of any like minded physicians/therapists who would like me to include their names and information on a list of mine, and/or have a professional dialogue.
