i was diagnosed with BPD at 17, but it was very apparent. i was also in therapy and on an SSRI at that age, and it 100% saved my life.

I have borderline personality disorder and I have a range of medications that have significantly stabalised my mood venlafaxaline and mirtazipene and Seroquel at very high doses that I am on really keep my emotions and mood very well regulated and I'm doing DBT skills group through mental health and I don't drink alcohol, I also have ADHD so concerta keeps my impulsive behaviour under control, and mirtazipene mixed with venlafaxaline to augment it makes it strong, I have been very stabalised and I can function, it's important to know your triggers with borderline personality disorder

Thank you for making this series! I'm finding it extremely helpful.

having BPD for all my life, my medication changed my life for good. BPD hurts a lot. Medication makes it just bearable.

I have a personality disorder and ill tell you straight up I've taken meds before and I had zero emotion for anything.. I felt like a zombie without even knowing

I'm 49. Apparently still alive and my symptoms have started all over with a vengeance. BPD, dysthymia, PTSD...Super disappointed.

Tequila has proven to be great medication on my sister. She goes from Malignant Covert Narcissist to sweet, amiable, and willing to share.

This video is so helpful!!! Thank you!!!! 👍👏🏻🥇

I got diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at 20 yrs old (im turning 23 now) and I've been to 1on1 therapy, DBT and even medications, nothing worked, till I started smoking weed in the evenings before I go to sleep and surround myself with positive things food, tv, video games, anime and music for just those last 4 hours of my day before I go to sleep and I wake up so happy and refreshed, it feels like a reset button

Naltrexone 💥 I read also that there are some studies about using it to decrease dp-dr symptoms. Dissociation is so annoying...I don't remember about half of my lifetime because of it.

What about those of us who are categorized with "traits" and fully medicated based on ONE VISIT? Therapy First. Pills LAST!!!!!

Do we go for a blood test too to determine the level of say, various hormones before administering pills to a patient?

Many Thanks, these videos are fantastic.I follow all your series. I am kindly requesting if you could create videos about marriage therapy, I will appreciate🙏🙏🙏

Personality disorders are the most difficult to help...... requires 100% patient and therapist input and a lot of time and maybe med. A mood disorder is more pliable to change easily to medicate and patient input tends to be more positive as they are more ready to recognise they want to change 😊😊

Medication really helped my husband.... we were both so thankful... My husband saw his struggle.... sad to say many don’t and they drive their family crazy!!!!! Especially getting off of their meds and think they are fine..... no they are not!

DEVELOPMENTAL!!!! THANK YOOOU

pretty interesting the thing about opioid blockers

Xanax is the key, I’m prescribed 0.25mg a day when I start feeling overwhelmed and I’m right back to normal and calm. What Xanax does is it clears your brain, it gives you some memory issues but I’ve had them regardless so it’s not much of a difference. BPD to describe it to everyone you feel like a 2 liter soda bottle that was shaken 100 times, plus adding a mentos in it and closing the lid and just leaving it there ready to blow at any second. I took ssris they make you nauseous they give you a disgusting taste in your mouth 24/7 they just don’t do it, it makes you feel lethargic and in a zombie state. I take a 0.25 mg Xanax and it calms me down within 4 minutes, and lasts throughout the entire day. It’s sort of like living with cancer, nobody wants to put poisonous chemo into their bodies to fight the cancer but there’s no choice. A lot of these doctors just don’t want to lose their jobs or be responsible for you getting addicted, so they put you on anti depressants because they won’t get shit for it and can continue making money. People with BPD require the hard drugs in a regulated low dose manner, the symptoms don’t just go away it’s a hardwiring in your body that can’t be controlled. It’s not a good plan to take a higher and higher dose every month but to act responsible with your meds and take them only as needed, the key thing is you need to be mature while prescribed and not reckless. I also have really horrible ADHD more of an in attention and no interest, I’m on a stimulant but I only use it when I need to do something work related not on a regular basis. You gotta manage how you take your meds, you also need to have discipline. You need to work out at least 3-4 times a week the better you look the better you’ll feel about yourself, you need to be on a healthy diet. If you’re not dieting it’s sort of like you’re driving in a race with shitty oil and cheap gas, your car is going to break down eventually. You need to find a psychiatrist that cuts through the bullshit of trying to give you the baby meds and realize you’re craving the meds because you’re going literally insane, I don’t drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or any of that shit that usually blows steam off for most people so I take a pill instead. Our brains have no dopamine or any other happiness related chemicals in them, it’s like you’re walking past a homeless guy who hasn’t eaten and showered for months and you toss him a quarter thinking that’s all the help he should need. No the guy needs 10k and a place to live lol, people abuse doctors to score drugs to sell or to abuse so people basically ruined it for the people who actually desperately need them.. it really sucks.

I've seen psychiatrists for over 30yrs. Recently I over dosed twice. I saw a stupid psychiatrist at a mental hospital and he said there's no such thing as Borderline anything, changed my medications and I'm a total mess now. I don't know what to do 😭

Tell me name of medicine that used in personality disorder

Correction, boderline personality disorder is mostly ego-dystonic.

How is that someone with NPD or BPD or psychopathy would realize that there is something wrong with them? Other than perhaps outside pressures that are unavoidable.

I’ve been on Lamotrigine and Escitalopram for 17yrs. I’m not sure it helps now and I should probably get a specialist review rather than just my family doctor every six months. I just can’t be bothered though 😕

what is opioid blockers ..?

5:57 Aww.. empathetically well said.

A former client of mine (personality disordered) took a prescription that treated her "restlessness" and Prozac (depression), plus MANY more for pain. If only there were a prescription that could have treated her warped moral compass and need to control and manipulate those she was exploiting, along with her noticeable empathy deficiency. The most horrifying thing about this woman was that she had already been a licensed child psychologist for over 15 years. I would never consider leaving a child alone with her, not even for a moment, much less pay her to be alone with one.

I had all the symptoms and problematic with BPD and DID ever since i was 12 years old i had a family traumatic episode where i almost killed a family member. And THEY STILL did not diagnose me!

My psichologist prescribed me dopamin and serotonin pills.

Yes! VERY CAREFUL when medicating personality disorders!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was perscribed alansapine and deluxatin at the time

I'm so irritable. And to aware. That although this is well done. I'm irritated because it was to clear. To perfect. Scripted. No doctors are smooth and this good from my experience. How many takes till u got it perfect??

They are giving me lexapro and abilify for my BPD

If those prescription can be made over the counter then ithink we can have a sliver of hope in enduring these latter days

Hello, Dr. Dom😳😂

You have to look at cause..... in my daughter's case. College years. COVID< A scammer college with scholarship fraud. Basically, they offered kids these scholarships and then threatened them all the time they'd take them away. This created a mess. I'll call it a form of PTSD> In other words no signs of a disorder in high school, and not ready to go down the "psychotic drug" extreme right away. Now the doctors rushed to that. I'm not sure we are on the right path. An of course now my daughter doesn't trust people which hasn't helped. With stress and that age, I'm saying look at NUTRITION first. Some people do not believe in Dr. Berg. I do. Look up his videos. If I could just get my daughter to do this, I know it could help her. You have to look at the vitamin levels first.

Medicine and most psychiatric approaches is only a preventative measure, not proactive approaches to address those exposed to the person with PD. Most PD’s typically do not got to therapy. This is problematic.

Yeah still not a cure. Just symptom management.

Be very careful with meds my partner was prescribed by a young gp fluvoxamine & became very violent. I consulted with a psychologist, psychiatrist & a very experienced pharmacist who recommended a review. Thankfully the fluvoxamine was withdrawn. Further unsupervised combining meds can be very dangerous & have negative impacts. Imu meds don’t treat the core issues.

There is? Bring it to my workplace. The head nurse needs a boxful. We lost so many hard working staff because of her micromanaging, narcissism and her condescending, disrespectful and retaliatory behaviour. Even the pharmacist in our workplace thought she needed medication.

My ex really got an NPD and she got given depression pills since 18. It makes her mood swing, turn her into a horrible evil person that could do anything to hurt ppl who don’t follow her

Someone with trauma will over medicate also, don't you think?

No way would I take meds..

I am going to go get my BPD diagnosed this month. My goal is complete flattening of personality. My goal is to become a high functioning zombie in my whole life. I want to save those around me FROM ME.

Medications for BPD = nothing. Nothing makes it better. All target symptom management. It's a miserable life, honestly. I can't stand it.

Patients had no idea how dangerous it is to become a psychiatric patient and trusted their doctors, willingly following their advice, until they found out years later that their lives had been ruined. If you have a mental health issue, don’t see a psychiatrist. It is too dangerous and might turn out to be the biggest error you made in your entire life.

Do these doctors check for medical issues when assessing behavioural patterns? After 3 years studying psychology due to my issues I now think I have a brain tumour :/

That’s funny…. Oxymoronic statement: “I don’t believe in like “always or never”. Absolutes are “absolutes”; belief has no say in this at all, because of what one believes. 🤣

I have disdain for many psychiatrists' whom in themselves are egocentric.

Why is BPD so popular? It's been all the rave lately.

El Asunto Importante: “Aquel que tiene al Hijo tiene la vida; aquel que no tiene al Hijo de Dios no tiene la vida.” (Versículo 12. Este pasaje enseña: Dios nos ha dado vida eterna y esta vida está en Su Hijo Jesucristo. La manera de poseer la vida eterna es poseer al Hijo de Dios Dos asuntos importantes deben ser preguntados y respondidos: ¿Porque es necesario poseer al Hijo de Dios para tener vida eterna? ¿Cómo puede una persona poseer o tener al Hijo de Dios? El Problema de La Separación del Hombre de Dios De acuerdo a Romanos 5:8, Dios demostró Su amor por nosotros a través de la muerte de Su Hijo. ¿Porque Cristo tuvo que morir por nosotros? Porque la Escritura declara a todos los hombres como pecadores. Todos somos pecadores. “Pecar” quiere decir errar en el blanco. La Biblia declara que todos hemos pecado y no podemos alcanzar la Gloria de Dios. En otras palabras, nuestro pecado nos separa de Dios quien es perfecta santidad (rectitud y justicia) y Dios debe por lo tanto juzgar al hombre pecador. Romanos 5:8 Pero Dios demostró Su amor hacia nosotros, en que siendo aun pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros. Romanos 3:23 porque todos han pecado y no pueden alcanzar la Gloria de Dios... Habacuc 1:13a Tus ojos son demasiado puros para aprobar la maldad, Y Tú no puedes ver la maldad favorablemente. Isaías 59:2 Pero tus iniquidades han hecho separación entre tú y tu Dios, y tus pecados han Escondido Su rostro de ti, para que El no escuche.  El Problema de la Inutilidad de las Obras del Hombre Le Escritura también enseña que ninguna cantidad de bondad humana, esfuerzo humano, moralidad humana, o actividad religiosa puede ganarse la aceptación de Dios o llevar a alguien al Cielo. El hombre moral, el hombre religioso, y el inmoral y el no-religioso están todos en el mismo bote. Todos están caídos de la Gloria de Dios (de la Perfecta Justicia de Dios.) Después de discutir sobre el hombre inmoral, el hombre moral, y el hombre religioso en Romanos 1:18-3:8, el apóstol Pablo declara que tanto Judíos como Griegos están bajo pecado, que, “no hay ningún justo, ni uno siquiera” (Ro. 3:9-10), y que “todos han pecado y caído de la Gloria de Dios” (Ro. 3:23. Además de esto están las declaraciones de los siguientes versículos de la Escritura: Efesios 2:8-9 Por gracia han sido hechos salvos a través de la fe; y esto no de ustedes, es el regalo de Dios; 9 no como resultado de las obras, para que nadie se jacte. Tito 3:5-7 Él nos salvó, no sobre la base de obras que hayamos hecho justamente, sino de acuerdo a Su misericordia, por el lavamiento de la regeneración y por la renovación en el Espíritu Santo, 6 el cual Él derramó ricamente sobre nosotros a través de Jesucristo nuestro Salvador, 7 para que habiendo sido justificados por Su gracia podamos ser hechos herederos de acuerdo a la esperanza de la vida eterna. Romanos 4:1-5 ¿Qué podríamos decir que Abraham, nuestro progenitor según la carne, ha encontrado? 2 Porque si Abraham fue justificado por obras, tiene de que jactarse, pero no delante de Dios. 3 Por qué, ¿qué dice la Escritura? “Y Abraham creyó a Dios, y se le fue contado por justicia.” 4 Ahora a aquel que obra, su salario no se le cuenta como favor, sino como deuda. 5 Pero a aquel que no obra, sino que cree en El que justifica al impío, su fe le es contada como justicia,
