Did you know BPD is the most stigmatized of all mental illnesses
5.9% of the USA population meet BPD criteria, including:
67% of substance users
23-40% of people with eating disorders
33% of domestic violence perpetrators
Untreated BPD results in public health crisis, yet:
74% are misdiagnosed
Receive 4-5 other diagnoses before BPD
3% of clinicians treat BPD
34% find treatment not at all helpful or even harmful
Which result in:
10x higher mortality rate than in general population
10% die by suicide
YET:
BPD Receives 0.07% of mental health research funds
Patients continued to be stigmatized and refused to be treated by clinicians
Cutting edge new BPD treatments continue to be unavailable
Diagnostic criteria is not based in science and biology
What can we do to change the picture?

Lifesaving book for families with a loved one with BPD/BPD traits. It’s transformed, not only how I now see BPD, but also how to effectively support loved ones with this disorder—giving hope to the entire family. Also, The author offers workshops and webinars that are extremely helpful. Don’t waste your time & money on other BPD books.”
5.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for anyone with loved ones who struggle with this disorder.
“Prior to this book I had read several self-help books on the subject, but my particular relationship with my BPD loved one was only getting worse and worse. This book helped me to understand what she was going through and to approach her with compassion and empathy. It really worked! Now I have a much better relationship with her and I believe this book saved us from total disaster. Whereas other books preach boundaries and borders, this one helps the reader to understand that whatever they are going through, it's not their fault, nor the sufferers fault. The anger and abuse are not about us. Once we learn to let it go over our heads and see the world through their eyes, it's much easier to cope. Thank you for a wonderful guide to coping with this horrible affliction.”
