Borderline personality disorder: part 2 – psychiatric management
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2024
Summary
The large volume of seemingly conflicting guidance on the management of borderline personality disorder (BPD), combined with the ongoing shortage of specialised resources, can make the task feel like an exclusive undertaking that the general psychiatrist is underprepared for. In this article, we distil current evidence to submit that sound psychiatric management principles used to treat all serious and enduring mental disorders (diagnostics, comorbidity management, rational pharmacotherapy and dynamic risk management) are readily applicable and particularly therapeutic for BPD. We offer actionable practice guidance that we hope will render the clinical management experience a more lucid and rewarding one for both practitioner and patient.
