Statement of Need |
Borderline
Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe and generally chronic
disorder and people who suffer from it are underserved. Friends and families
are often bewildered and do not know how to help. Treatment programs for
those with BPD need to be more readily available. Families need access
to programs such as those already developed for several other mental illnesses.
BPD presents patients, their families and researchers with multiple challenges.
These complex challenges will be addressed in order to inform mental health
professionals, families, and consumers of the most current diagnostic and
treatment options available, and other issues of current interest to those
affected by the disorder.
