> I agree that the popular stigma is terrible, and some people have thought BPD 'incurable'. That's unscientific baloney. It also depends on what one considers a 'cure'.According to Glen Gabbard, a p-doc at Baylor who writes a textbook on therapy for psychiatrists and has written extensively on BPD, most BPD sufferers get better with age, regardless of treatment, though therapy is the most helpful treatment. So it's not considered incurable. A lot of T's don't like working with BPD patients because they require a lot of energy, but others are happy to take them on. My p-doc has a lot of BPD patients. So does my DBT therapist.
