You mention in your post a link between hormones and BP and BPD. Do you recall where you found literature on this point.
I have had a huge relapse due to medication changes trigered by my doctor's inability to take menopause into account. I am much better now but went through a hairy experience.
> I also suspect that the source of some symptoms that get labeled as Borderline Personality Disorder have a hormonal source, and that with perimenopause and menopause, some of these change or subside. That is why some researchers seem to think a diagnosis in the bipolar family is more to the point, as there has been some connections found between hormones and bipolar illness, and some of the borderline symptoms seem an awful lot like some form of mood cycling.
