Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a highly stigmatized diagnosis in psychiatry. However, avoiding the topic only reinforces the stigma surrounding it. In this episode, Dr. Lois Choi-Kane, a psychiatrist and director of the Gunderson Personality Disorders Institute, discusses the importance of clinicians being properly trained to effectively treat patients with BPD. Dr. Choi-Kane emphasizes the need for clinicians to approach the diagnosis without fear, treat it as any other psychiatric disorder, and provide practical, clinical information to help these patients. BPD is a common mental illness, and addressing it is essential in acute psychiatric settings and primary care. Proper training and orientation can lead to incredibly rewarding experiences in working with BPD patients and their families.
