> Olivia-Well I'm glad that someone is enjoying the discussion. Olive, i personally think there's little difference. It's interesting to me to hear others views about this.

> Anyone who I ever spoke to with borderline-so called psychological illness-takes similar medications as those with biological illnesses. My family member on disability gets treated for bipolar-with lithium-but has an attachment issue like me-but never diagnosed or treated for it and is totally unaware of it. Partly due to fact there is no 'self injury' involved...

> Not referring to n=1, there's alot of people out there oblivious to their psychological problems because their defense mechanisms are so thick...it's estimated by studies that up to 50% of the mental health population have concurrent PDs! That doesn't include those with merely maladaptive/PD traits...Don't take my word for it-the information is all out there...and my Pdoc, whose treated 100s, if not 1000 of patients, would be the first to agree despite my lack of psyche education.

> p.s. thanks for the definition Morgan, I got the 2 mixed up, no need to go to school as there is always Wiki to refer to when in doubt :)Violette, the reason why I said you should study psychology was because you seem to be very bright, you have a good grasp on psychological concepts, and have an obvious interest in psychology. Just wanted to make that clear : )
