Certain aspects of borderline personality disorder do seem to have a biological basis. I've looked at the affective instability portion, which is what affects me.

I was writing about it on Babble at some point.

Unfortunately some of my best bookmarks aren't working, but if you google physostigmine and borderline personality, you should come up with some updated ones.

It would seem likely that there would be an effect on medication chosen. Have you tried an AP? For me, it was great for affective instability though there are of course side effects - particularly at larger doses.

And of course the gold standard would be medication combined with psychotherapy. Marsha Linehan's DBT therapy seems to have a lot of support for its effectiveness.
