Even when the funnel cloud is whirling away somewhere else, I still feel an overwhelming sadness that I can't help more, and that despite my best effects the chaos in their lives will continue, and maybe ruin their career and relationships.Here are three pdf articles from new research studies that actually give Non's some hope that BPD might be controllable or at least the chaos reduced. The pdf''s can be downloaded.It also turns out the fish oil supplements prevent adolescents from developing schizophrenia. The fatty acids actually worked on my BPD and the chaos stopped. Those findings might help a loved one. I think I've read every book written on borderlines, or at least most of them.
The EPA is the important number when calculating the amount to take. Use the EPA as a guideline for how many pills to take per day. Arctic Pure Ultra Potency Omega 3 Fish Oil 2 pills is 1700 mg of fish oil which contains 900 mg of EPA. It's doubly sad that someone with BPD would choose to live in the chaos rather than taking a simple supplement with no side effects.
Hope these articles help someone else. This book helps.I think the biggest benefit from reading these is to remind myself that I have to remain dispassionate while my BPD close family member lives in chaos. Amazon kills the web addresses so type into Google the following titles and open the link. I've seen many positive results following the use of these supplements. That's fine. Just read the summary of the research I've posted.
You can then download the full article pdf file. Now the papers are starting to come out supporting that.
Docosahexaenoic Acid DHA is another Omega 3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oil. It can be ordered from the Source Naturals Catalog, or use any good quality fish oil as long as the supplement level is 900 mg or more of EPA.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Treatment of Women with Borderline Personality DisorderDiminished Implusivity in Older Patients with Borderline Personality DisorderOmega-3 Fish Oils Tested as Preventative Approach to Schizophrenia, with Positive ResultsAlmost all of the studies are based on using 1 gram or more of Omega 3 which is Ethyl Eicosapentaenoic Acid (E-EPA). Sometimes the chaos and negativity gets directed at me.
I hope they help others, but it's going to take years and years before the psych community adopts their use. I know some people reading this review won't believe what I just said.
Then they decided they didn't need them because there was nothing wrong and stopped taking them. Schizophrenia, BPD, bi-polar, chronic depression, dyslexia, and ADD are all related so if fish oil helps dyslexia, ADD and chronic depression, which it does, there's strong probability it should help BPD and Schizophrenia.
I was surprised to hear another supervisor say, "Borderline is a diagnosis for people we don't like." I bought my copy more than ten years ago and I still refer to it from time to time. Using what I learned from this book, I learned to like working with persons who had Borderline Personality Disorder. I read my supervisor's copy while working nights at a crisis center. I was new the to field then.
On the other hand, gosh, it could do with some editing. ML recons that people with BPD do not lie.
ML calls people "patients", rather than "clients". Well, that's ML lying, or making a mistake.One question.
This book realy helps incrase one's empathy to those with BPD. One observation.
I wonder if that is her taking her own advice and doing what works rather than doing what is right. It is a defining text.
I am surprised that another, smaller less-repetivie edition has not been released.
Organized, clear, and direct, this text provides clinicians with fantastic information and guidance in treating this troubled population. Dr. Marsha Linehan is clearly an expert and presents her treatment for a very complicated and dynamic disorder in this well-written, well-supported book.
Essential. This is one of the most helpful book y never read about psychoterapy (of course the better I know about treating borderline personality disorder). Its style and its simple and common sense contents are one of its strengths.
