Need more help deciding?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a life-long psychological condition that requires continued care and maintenance. If you’re struggling with BPD symptoms, the psychiatric providers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Bedford, NH are here to help.

How Can I Determine if I Have BPD?

Like many mental illnesses and disorders, BPD can present itself differently in different individuals. While you may not experience all of the symptoms of this disorder, many people with BPD have reported:

  • Impulsive behaviors such as excessive spending, drinking, and eating
  • Intense emotions and mood swings from ecstatic highs to depressive lows
  • Suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm (often as a result of mood swings)
  • Dissociation, which can include out-of-body sensations
  • Intense fear of abandonment, which can put extreme pressure on your relationships
  • Unstable relationships with friends and family members (relationships may border on obsessive and you may feel affection at one moment and extreme dislike soon after)
  • Inability to be alone or a desire to constantly surround yourself with people
  • Trouble controlling your anger or temper
  • A history of loneliness, emptiness, and feelings of unworthiness

Because of symptoms such as suicidal thoughts and reckless behavior, borderline personality disorder often requires the care of a licensed mental health professional. If you’ve ever experienced the symptoms listed above, please phone us at Thriveworks in Bedford, NH so we can assess your condition and create an appropriate treatment plan that addresses your individual symptoms and needs.

Therapy, Medication, and Other Treatments for BPD

BPD is a long-term mental health disorder. While there is no cure for the disorder, you can take steps to decrease its effect on your daily life. Your first course of action after you receive your BPD diagnosis should be to sit down with your provider and discuss next steps.

Your psychiatrist, psychologist, or another mental health provider will gather more information about your background and environment. They will then use this information to create a treatment plan that may include a combination of medication and therapy. While medication can be used to treat BPD symptoms, it isn’t used to treat the disorder itself.

Some of the most commonly used medications include:

  • Antidepressants
  • Antipsychotics
  • Mood stabilizers
  • Anti-anxiety medications

Some of the more common types of therapy used to treat BPD include:

  • Talk therapy, which encourages you to discuss your emotions, feelings, and concerns with your provider in order to help you better understand your illness
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a type of psychotherapy that stresses regulating your emotions, practicing mindfulness, tolerating distress, and dealing with interpersonal relationships
  • Transference-focused therapy, which was created specifically to address BPD and allows you to use your therapist or another provider as a springboard for addressing difficult emotions. It allows you to address BPD symptoms in real-time.

Other types of psychotherapy may be used to address your BPD symptoms. In addition to therapy and medication, your provider may also recommend coping methods and self-help materials as part of your treatment for BPD. Call us at Thriveworks in Bedford, NH to get started today with your own professional assessment and customized treatment plan.

My wife and I had an excellent experience with our amazing counselor Sam. We reached out for help with communication and intimacy issues and he helped us make real positive change in our lives. The strategies we developed with Sam have made a huge difference and we feel more connected than ever. He was always attentive, thoughtful, and accommodating to our busy schedules. The option to meet remotely or in person was a huge plus for us. We highly recommend his services.
