Borderline Personality Disorder, Good Psychiatric Management with Evan Iliakis MD PhD student

Evan Iliakis, MD PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania, took time to talk to us about his research and a personal experience helping his friend navigate hospital systems with borderline personality disorder. We had a discussion on stigma and the natural course of untreated borderline personality disorder, which is in fact one that naturally improves for most people. This fact is not often conveyed well to patients, and can instill hope that many of the symptoms will improve with time. Evan worked at McLean hospital with researchers, such as Dr. John Gunderson, who developed and disseminated Good Psychiatric Management to clinicians in the US and abroad.
