| Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified: An Essential Guide for Understanding and Living with BPD by Da Capo Press Very Helpful. |
| An easy read, or for what I've read so far. Very helpful. Other books were not as clear as this one. |
| Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified: An Essential Guide for Understanding and Living with BPD by Da Capo Press Disappointing |
Has some good info, but has a poor writing style. Repetitive use of words; talks down to the reader.
Jerold Kreisman books highly recommended instead. |
| Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified: An Essential Guide for Understanding and Living with BPD by Da Capo Press Truly demystifies BPD |
| As the mother of a BPD, my lifelong "sense" of something being wrong as been explained. I've read other books but this one integrates many of the behaviors I've observed and couldn't understand. It has allowed me to forgive myself and her. |

| Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified: An Essential Guide for Understanding and Living with BPD by Da Capo Press Perfect Book for Borderline Personality Disorder |
| I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar II and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This past September. Not only did I not understand this disease, but I didn't understand how or where I got it from. I think I have probably orderdered every book on Amazon relating to BPD. All of them seemed to be a blame game. Feeling sorry for the spouse and family and those close to the person with BPD. The books that tried to explain it to the borderline were useless, There wasn't a whole lot of explaining of what the disease really was and what to do about it. I was lucky, I had a mental and physical breakdown. They did a Neuropyscholical Evaluation on me and that is how scientifically, came to the conclusion and diagnosis of BPD. It's a very difficult disease to diagnose because there are often underlying other issues that go along with it, ADHD, Bi-Polar, Depression, Anxiety etc... This book was not a cry baby book. It gives straight medical facts and tells you how to get help and the right people to get it from. It also goes into genetic factors and medications used to help BPD. Since I have been on the right medication (which is a lot of mix and match to find the meds and dosage that is right for you). It can be frustrating, but don't give up! Your Psychologist will find the right meds after he diagnoses you properly. Thaerapy is also crucial. It teaches people how to function in a strange world that we don't understand. I recommend it to anyone close to you also, so they can get a better understanding about what our inside lonely world feels like. Good Luck! |
