1
If I want this person to like me,
2
what I'm going to do is I'm going to pretend to be into the stuff that they're into, right?
3
So if this person is into metal bands, I'm going to pretend to like, oh, I love metal too.
4
So you kind of become this chameleon in life where you don't have your own joys, preferences, desires.
5
You kind of adapt and absorb the desires of other people.
6
All right, so let's talk a little bit about borderline personality disorder today.
7
So borderline personality disorder, I think, is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized disorders out there.
8
A couple of the most common misconceptions are, first of all, borderline personality disorder is like permanent, right?
9
Because when we think about certain illnesses, these are things that happen to you.
10
So something like anxiety is something that happens to you and hopefully with treatment or therapy or medication can be cured.
11
But when we talk about personality disorders like borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, we think about these things as part of your personality,
12
which means if they're part of your personality, you're kind of screwed because it's like who you are.
13
So that thankfully isn't true.
14
The other big thing about borderline personality disorder is that these people tend to be stigmatized very, very, very heavily.
15
So sometimes it's very hard to form and maintain relationships.
16
People with BPD are oftentimes viewed as manipulative
17
and very like prone to doing things like lying and stuff like that will be sort of very like emotionally contentious.
18
And the last thing with BPD is that they tend to be very poorly characterized in media.
19
So if you look at things like the crazy ex -girlfriend, this is something that's usually viewed as like BPD.
20
So what I'd love to do today is talk to y
21
'all a little bit about what BPD looks like from the outside.
22
So what other people see when they look at someone who has BPD, what BPD feels like on the inside.
23
So what are sort of some of the subjective experiences of people who struggle with BPD.
24
We're then going to talk a little bit about the formation of borderline personality disorder, i .e where does it come from?
25
Is it genetic?
26
Is it in your brain?
27
Is it controllable?
28
Is it psychological?
29
And then we're going to end with sort of talking a little bit about treatment and prognosis.
30
So are there treatments for BPD?
31
Do they work?
32
What can I expect if I have BPD?
33
So let's start first with talking a little bit about what does it look like from the outside.
34
So people with BPD tend to have there are three sort of big things
35
that people tend to see with people who have BPD.
36
The first is a pattern of unstable relationships.
37
So what this sort of means is that people with BPD can become really, really good friends with other people like very quickly.
38
They can sort of fall into something like, oh, I've never played guitar, but like now I'm going to join a band
39
and I'm going to play guitar
40
and we're going to go touring like for three months all over the U .S and it's going to be fantastic.
41
We're going to go over the world.
42
So they can fall into things really quickly.
43
They can also like fall into romantic relationships really quickly.
44
Like I met this person a week ago and now we're talking about moving in.
45
The problem is that these kinds of relationships tend to be really unstable.
46
So it's very, very high octane, high speed, but also like things crash pretty easily.
47
Yeah, I moved out of my apartment.
48
I bought a guitar.
49
I've been touring for a month and now there's all kinds of interpersonal conflict.
50
Or I moved in with this person two months in and now we're fighting all the time.
51
So they tend to have what people sort of see from the outside is that this person,
52
it's hard for them to maintain stable relationships over time.
53
The second thing that we tend to find is that they have, if you look at this person,
54
what you're going to see is strong emotional reactions.
55
So this can be very frustrating from a relationship standpoint because if you're in a relationship with someone with BPD,
56
romantic, platonic, family, or any of the above, you may find that small things that you do will evoke strong negative reactions.
57
So for example, like let's say you forget a friend's birthday
58
and then what's going to happen is the friend will get really, really upset with you.
59
And they'll like start like doing all this weird kind of stuff where they're like, you ask them, Hey, what's wrong?
60
And they're like, Oh, nothing's wrong.
61
But you can tell that something's wrong, but they kind of like won't communicate it to you so that you'll see strong emotional reactions.
62
Like if you get the wrong birthday present, maybe they'll sort of explode.
63
Or what you'll kind of see is that if you start to pull away, if you don't talk to them quite as much,
64
they'll start to engage in a lot of what feels like manipulative behavior
65
or guilt tripping or gaslighting to try to get you to kind of re -engage.
66
If you're friends with someone who has BPD, or maybe you experienced this as well,
67
sometimes there'll also be like benign things that will cause you to feel really, really angry or really, really ashamed of yourself or really,
68
really guilty, that there's essentially a strong emotional response.
69
The last thing
70
that we tend to see kind of from the outside of someone who has BPD is
71
that this is someone who may not really understand entirely who they are.
72
They get really excited about stuff, but they don't seem to have a consistent trajectory in life.
73
They may get excited by particular things very easily.
74
But if you sort of ask them, like, who are you?
75
What do you want from life?
76
Sometimes they'll be able to give you answers, right?
77
They'll say things like
78
The only thing I want from life is you.
79
I just want you.
80
I just want you.
81
I just want you.
82
But that's not really, that's not them, right?
83
They sort of almost have this distorted sense of self -image.
84
So that's sort of what borderline personality disorder can look like from the outside.
85
Once we move to internally, so what is the subjective experience of people with BPD?
86
So the first is that they tend to have a fear of abandonment.
87
And what that sort of means is that if you have BPD, what people with BPD are oftentimes afraid of is screwing up relationships.
88
They're really, really afraid that if I say the wrong thing or if I do the wrong thing, that I'll drive this person away.
89
They really do believe people are going to leave them.
90
People are waiting to leave them.
91
People are looking for any kind of excuse to leave them.
92
And if you have those kinds of thoughts, like, oh my God, this person is looking for an excuse to break up with me.
93
We've been dating for six years.
94
And since the third month, they've been looking for an excuse.
95
They've been looking for an excuse.
96
That's what your subjective experience is like if you have BPD.
97
And so oftentimes what it feels like is that relationships are incredibly, incredibly stressful because you're walking this tightrope of if you seem too clingy,
98
they're going to break up with you.
99
If you seem too standoffish enough, they're going to break up with you.
100
And this isn't just, we're sort of using romantic examples here, but this is also in like family relationships.
101
So if you have like a parent -child relationship with BPD, this is the kind of thing where your parents are terrified
102
that you're going to leave you or you're going to be terrified that your parents will, you know, marry someone else and then like abandon you.
103
And they're going to be like, they're going to have stepkids and they're going to love their stepkids more than they love you.
104
Or if you're the parent, you're afraid that your kids are going to leave the house and then they'll never call you again.
105
They hate to come home for Christmas, which oftentimes happens, right?
106
Because you use them to meet your emotional needs, which we'll get to in a second.
107
So what we sort of see is that there's a fear of abandonment, but subjectively what that feels like is sort of a fear
108
that you're going to screw up relationships and that these people are going to leave you.
109
The other thing that's really interesting about the subjective experience of people with BPD, and this is something that I think we really lack compassion for
110
because some of the behaviors that people with BPD exhibit can be so frustrating,
111
is that their internal emotional experience hurts so fucking much.
112
So people with borderline personality disorder, their experience of life can be incredibly painful.
113
So I want you all to kind of think about it this way, where like I can rip a Band -Aid off
114
And that's like, it hurts for a few seconds, like maybe it hurts for maybe 10 seconds and it's like a six out of 10 pain.
115
But if I've got BPD, the pain signals of life, especially emotional pain are actually amplified.
116
So things like breakups will actually like almost in an objective way,
117
we're talking about subjective, but if you kind of rate the emotional pain from a breakup, and if you, if you take two people,
118
one person with BPD, one person without BPD, it'll hurt way more for the person with BPD.
119
So it's almost like their nerves are on fire when it comes to emotional pain.
120
So it can almost be really confusing for people with BPD
121
because they recognize that this life feels harder than what my other friends are kind of going through.
122
That I've had three friends, they all, let's say, went through a romantic breakup and they're able to bounce back after like two to six months.
123
But one year later, I'm still feeling so, so, so hurt over this kind of thing.
124
And this is this sort of complicates relationships, because what ends up happening is that I don't get over it, right?
125
So I'm hurting.
126
And normally, like two months after a relationship, people give me a lot of support, but then they get tired of it after four months,
127
five months, six months, eight months.
128
And so then what ends up happening is that like people stop supporting me emotionally, because I kind of need more emotional support,
129
because it actually hurts more than the average person.
130
The other very common experience in BPD is subjective feelings of emptiness.
131
So this is where we kind of like, you know, you kind of feel like empty on the inside.
132
Like you don't really know who you are.
133
You don't really know what you want from life.
134
A lot of times the goals that you set are just to get rid of the pain.
135
It's not necessarily moving towards something.
136
It's moving away from something.
137
So what I really want is I want to get rid of this loneliness.
138
And I'm even willing to get back together with my abusive partner because unless they're around,
139
I feel really untethered in life and I feel kind of empty on the inside.
140
I don't really know who I am.
141
The last thing that oftentimes happens with people with BPD is that they'll sometimes dissociate or disconnect from life.
142
And this is probably a neurologic coping mechanism where since there is so much pain that we experience subjectively,
143
and we'll get to the neuroscience of why this happens in a minute,
144
what they end up actually doing is like detaching or dissociating from that pain and they kind of feel disconnected.
145
And if you kind of think about it, that relates to the feeling of emptiness, because the more that I disconnect from myself,
146
the harder it is to discover who I am.
147
So in terms of the subjective experience of BPD, the four kind of most common things that I've seen as a clinician,
148
first is a fear of abandonment.
149
Second is just really intense emotional suffering.
150
Like as a clinician, I think my patients with BPD emotionally suffer.
151
more than the ones without BPD.
152
And I know that's sort of a comparative statement.
153
And I'm not saying that someone who has severe depression or schizophrenia and psychosis suffers more than someone who has BPD.
154
But I mean, on average, the normal experience of life, if you have BPD, is more painful than not having BPD.
155
There are also a lot of feelings of emptiness and some amount of dissociation or detachment.
156
So what this sort of results in is when you take these two kinds of things,
157
like these internal feelings, what this results in is a number of different behaviors that BPD, people with BPD engage in.
158
So as I'm going through life, afraid of abandonment, feeling empty on the inside, feeling a lot of emotional intensity, in order to cope with that,
159
I'll engage in certain kinds of behaviors.
160
And this is really where the disorder part really comes in, because the more that we see these kinds of behaviors,
161
the more outcomes get worse for people with BPD.
162
So the first thing that they tend to do is engage in impulsive behaviors,
163
right so this goes back to the like i'm going to fall deeply deeply in love with this person
164
because i'm going to feel such an emotional high hanging out with them
165
this is the this is the best person even though my last 10 relationships have been train wrecked
166
this person feels different this person truly loves me
167
this is real love this is what everyone's talking about in the movies
168
so i'm going to move on in with them
169
so we see a lot of impulsive behavior there's also high correlations with eating disorders
170
and bpd we also see self -harm behaviors
171
which i think are really interesting because self -harm behaviors aren't always suicidal in nature.
172
This is something that a lot of people don't understand.
173
Self -injurious behavior and suicidal ideation are not always the same thing.
174
Suicidal ideation is when I want to kill myself and end my life, which by the way, people at BPD are very high risk of.
175
So that's a very real risk.
176
But the self -injurious behavior doesn't necessarily correlate with that.
177
When I've worked with patients who have BPD,
178
when I ask them why do you cut or why do you burn or why do you do self -injurious behavior,
179
what I tend to find is that it's almost a meditative practice for them.
180
I'm not advocating for doing that, but if you ask them, okay, when do you cut?
181
Well, I cut when I feel emotionally really, really, when the pain gets so intense on the inside and I'm so unloved,
182
if I start cutting, that pain, the pain of the physical sensation of the cut actually knocks the emotional pain
183
and the fear of loneliness and abandonment out of my mind.
184
It's a very intense focusing technique.
185
And even if you look at the methods of self -injurious behavior that people with BPD engage in,
186
it's oftentimes things that are not damaging to the body, but actually experience the highest amount of pain.
187
So if we look at people who cut in BPD, what they tend to do is very superficial cuts.
188
They don't do deep cuts.
189
They're not trying to hurt themselves.
190
But if you look at the superficial part of the skin, that's when we actually have very, very sensitive nerves.
191
So we have these nerves that will do light touch.
192
So you can just do a very light touch and you can feel it, right?
193
Even if you think about tickling, right?
194
It's a very light touch, evokes a lot of response.
195
So a lot of pain, actually, if you sort of focus on just on the very surface, the intensity of the pain is actually higher.
196
So engage in self -injurious behaviors.
197
We'll also see substance use disorders as being very comorbid with BPD.
198
And what's that about?
199
It's once again, I'm feeling so much pain on the inside, I want to forget it, right?
200
And if I get high, if I get drunk, if I use some kind of drugs, then it's going to make all that pain go away.
201
And the last kind of behavior
202
that we'll sort of see from people who have BPD is what from the outside looks like manipulative behavior.
203
And we'll kind of get into that in a second.
204
But essentially what happens is that there are different ways I can deal with feeling empty or bad on the inside.
205
And one of the ways I can feel better is to feel loved by someone else right
206
so if i'm feeling very abandoned and i do something
207
that evokes love and caring from other people then i'll feel better about myself
208
so these are some common behaviors
209
which oftentimes create all kinds of problems in the lives of people who struggle with bpd
210
now what i'd love to do here is actually pause for a second
211
and just share with you all my understanding so
212
if we take all this stuff
213
and we kind of boil it down at its essence what is bpd here's what i've kind of come understand.
214
This is sort of a clinical perspective
215
and also based a little bit about on my years of training is in yoga and meditation.
216
So when we go through life, we have a sense of self.
217
And that sense of self is something that we carry with us and can respond to the things around us.
218
So for example, if I am confident in myself and things don't go my way, let's say I get fired from a job,
219
I won't let getting fired from a job determine my value as a human being, right?
220
So if I've done good work in this world, and I believe that I'm a good person, and I'm a parent, and I'm a good friend,
221
and I'm a good husband, and I'm a good doctor, even if I get fired from a job, that one incident doesn't determine who I am.
222
So we have this sense of self.
223
And what we know from BPD is the core issue, in my opinion, is that the sense of self is distorted or not formed very well.
224
So I don't really know who I am.
225
So this sort of results in feelings of emptiness.
226
We also sort of see a link with trauma.
227
So oftentimes what happens with BPD is that people will grow up in traumatic situations.
228
And when they grow up in traumatic situations, the sense of self cannot form in a healthy way.
229
So where does that confident sense of self come from?
230
It essentially comes from like a nurturing and caring environment.
231
We'll get to that a little bit in a second too, when we talk about the development of BPD.
232
But the core thing is that I don't know who I am on the inside.
233
That's the core feature.
234
So then we can see a lot of other things.
235
One is that how I feel about myself is determined by how people treat me.
236
So if people treat me with lots of love and care, I in turn love and care myself.
237
If people treat me with hostility, anger, resentment, then I will sort of feel like a really terrible person.
238
So who I am is determined by how I'm treated.
239
That, in my opinion, is the core feature of BPD and explains all kinds of other things.
240
Because this explains why I need people to love me all the time.
241
Because if someone stops loving me, and it's not necessarily if they stop loving me, if they travel somewhere for a week,
242
and then without that daily reassurance of their love, I'm not able to love myself.
243
And I start to feel empty.
244
I start to feel abandoned.
245
Even though I logically know that this person still cares about me
246
but I require that kind of input from the outside to determine my my worth
247
and so what that also results in is like kind of becoming a chameleon
248
and so this kind of creates a lot of problems in relationships because
249
if I want this person to like me what I'm going
250
to do is I'm going to pretend to be into the stuff
251
that they're into right so
252
if this person is into metal bands I'm going to pretend to like oh I love metal too
253
so you kind of become this chameleon in life where you don't have your own joys,
254
preferences, desires, you kind of adapt and absorb the desires of other people.
255
The problem though, is that as you kind of become this chameleon, you're like, yeah, I'm super into metal too.
256
In order to engage with them, you may not actually be super into metal.
257
So you almost create this kind of false contract with the people around you that you pretend to be into metal.
258
You pretend to be into metal.
259
You're super into it.
260
And then three months go by, four months go by, five months go by.
261
You're not really into metal.
262
So it starts to become hard to maintain
263
that facade as it's hard to maintain
264
that facade people start to like realize oh you're actually not
265
that into metal so that they stop inviting you to stuff
266
and if they stop inviting you to stuff
267
that triggers the fear of abandonment
268
and then you're like no no no i'm really into metal
269
i promise i'm into metal i'm into metal i'm into metal one of the most tragic things
270
that i ever saw was a person who had bpd who
271
was in a relationship with someone who wanted to be in an open relationship.
272
And they were sort of like all in because this is what my partner wants.
273
I don't want them to leave me.
274
So I'm going to agree to an open relationship, even though it's not what I want.
275
And then once you enter into an open relationship and your partner is like, you know, having sexual relations with a lot of other people,
276
that actually exacerbates the fear of abandonment and really just causes all kinds of behaviors to explode.
277
So the core issue here is that we don't really know who we are on the inside.
278
And so how we feel about ourselves is determined by how we're treated.
279
Now what we're going to do is get into a little bit about how BPD develops.
280
So we sort of know just a couple of neuroscience things to start off with.
281
The first is that BPD has a high level of heritability.
282
So there's a strong genetic component.
283
So the genetic component of BPD explains about 37 % to 65 % of BPD.
284
So what that sort of means is that there's a strong genetic component.
285
Now, I think some of these studies are a little bit flawed because I think that it's not just the genetics,
286
it's also the upbringing of the household.
287
So if you have a parent with BPD, I think that accounts for a lot of the development of BPD in the child.
288
So it could be some amount of nurture as opposed to nature because you've got a parent who's got BPD.
289
So what we see in the brains of people with BPD is that they have increased emotional responsiveness.
290
So what that sort of means is that if something bad happens to me,
291
it may take me 10 seconds or 15 seconds to get really angry, whereas someone with BPD will get angry within a single second.
292
So the amygdalas of people with BPD are actually a little bit smaller, which people may think, okay,
293
so remember the amygdala is our fear center of the brain, is our survival center of the brain.
294
So does smaller mean less?
295
No, usually smaller in the brain means more
296
because we're not able to regulate it as much
297
so people will feel negative emotions more intensely and faster the other thing
298
that we know about the brains of people with bpd is
299
that they experience those negative emotions for longer than someone who doesn't have bpd
300
so that sort of means is that i'll get pissed over 30 seconds
301
and then i'll stay pissed for about an hour hour
302
and a half whereas someone with bpd will get pissed within one second and they'll stay pissed for like eight hours
303
Let's do this.
304
So their experience day -to -day of life changes because of the way that their brain actually works.
305
So we also have evidence that there's a dysregulation of the stress system.
306
So people with BPD will be in high -stress states for longer periods of time.
307
And they're also very sensitive to stimuli.
308
So what does that kind of mean?
309
So there's a really—one of my favorite studies on BPD is one where they looked at facial expressions.
310
So what they did, what researchers did, is they took a facial expression like this,
311
and then they videotaped going from a smile to an angry face like this
312
and then this right so if you actually take that clip
313
and you turn it into a hundred stills what you'll find is
314
that there's a hundred percent happy and a hundred percent angry
315
and most people if you look at the middle
316
when i'm halfway between smiling and angry most people can't really tell what i'm feeling like
317
if you take a normal brain and you show them
318
that picture of 50 happy 50 angry people will be kind of confused.
319
What happens is I need to get to 70 % anger for a normal brain to tell that I'm angry, right?
320
So if I'm 50 % angry, like people can't really tell what I'm feeling.
321
Once I hit 70 % anger, then people can tell.
322
The interesting thing is that for people with BPD, they can detect the anger at only 30 % anger.
323
So even when someone is 70 % smiling and 70 % happy, the brain of the person with BPD actually detects anger in that situation.
324
So I want y 'all to imagine what it's like to go through life when the people around you, even if they're 70 % happy,
325
if they're only unhappy with you 30%, if what you detect there is that this person is unhappy with me.
326
Imagine how life, how hard it is to go through life when you're doing 70 % right,
327
but all you can see is the 30 % of unhappiness that people experience.
328
So what we tend to see in people with BPD is that they're very, very sensitive to the negative emotions of others.
329
They're very, very empathic, which once again fits in with this idea of I don't know who I am.
330
So my sense of self is going to be determined by how other people treat me.
331
In order for that to work, I have to be very, very empathic.
332
The challenge is that the kind of empathy that I have is biased.
333
It's biased towards the negative.
334
So what I tend to see is the dissatisfaction, the fear, the disappointment, the anger in all of my relationships.
335
And then what I start to do is I start to react when people are 70 % happy.
336
Even though they're still happy, I'm like, oh my God, this person is upset with me.
337
And then I'll start to ask them, hey, why are you mad at me?
338
But the person's like, I'm not mad at you.
339
I feel okay.
340
Like I'm a little bit frustrated, but it's not that big of a deal.
341
Oh my God, why are you frustrated?
342
What did I do wrong?
343
And then what they'll sort of do is create these frustrating dynamics with the relationships that they're in.
344
So now we're going to talk a little bit about what do we understand about the development of BPD?
345
So we know that there's a high correlation between trauma and BPD.
346
But my favorite theory of this actually comes from Marsha Linehan, who is the developer of something called dialectical behavioral therapy.
347
Brilliant psychologist who, if memory serves correctly, I could be wrong here, but I think she herself has BPD and kind of talks about that.
348
And so what she sort of believes is that we have, in order to develop BPD,
349
what we need is a neuroscientific vulnerability, i .e a brain that is sensitive to negative emotion, plus an invalidating environment.
350
So you can have a brain that's sensitive to negative emotion, but if you grow up in the right environment,
351
what that sort of means is that you'll get enough emotional reassurance to where you'll learn that like over time, like when you're four years old,
352
five years old, that even though I feel really angry, my parents are there to kind of create a safe space for me
353
so I can kind of calm down and I can develop some security.
354
I can start to feel good about myself, even though I was feeling bad a little while ago.
355
And on the flip side, what we kind of see is if you have
356
that neurological vulnerability to intense negative emotions and you are in an invalidating environment,
357
what that sort of does is like then when those negative emotions arise, like they get amplified and they don't get toned down by your environment.
358
So what this also means is that if you have a neurotypical brain in an invalidating environment,
359
but if you aren't neurologically sensitive to that negative emotion, even if the environment is somewhat invalidating,
360
it's not that big of a deal because your brain is able to sort of like regulate its own emotions internally.
361
So this is why there's a correlation with trauma.
362
But what we tend to see is that some people with BPD don't grow up in necessarily traumatic households.
363
Some of them will really grow up in invalidating environments.
364
And then you'll have like invalidating environments let's say your mom is invalidating,
365
but you've got three kids in the household and only one of them will grow up with BPD,
366
even though they all have the same invalidating environment.
367
When what's the reason for that?
368
It's because the other two kids have brains
369
that are not sort of like have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to negative emotion.
370
So I really like this theory.
371
I think it's very explanatory where there's a neurological vulnerability plus an environmental factor.
372
So a key thing that people sort of think about, especially when we talk about personality disorders is does this mean I'm screwed?
373
Because this is a personality disorder, right?
374
You're telling me, Dr. K, that my brain is busted.
375
I have a small amygdala.
376
And like, if I've got a small amygdala and I don't know who I am on the inside,
377
does that mean I'm essentially screwed because I engage in all these manipulative behaviors and I'm screwed, I'm screwed, I'm screwed, I'm screwed?
378
The answer is actually, shockingly, no. Actually, BPD is, I know it sounds kind of bizarre,
379
but actually has one of the best prognoses of personality disorders.
380
So the first thing to understand is that there are very good treatments for BPD.
381
One of my favorite treatments for BPD is something called dialectical behavioral therapy, which is essentially cognitive behavioral therapy with this mindfulness component added to it.
382
So the mindfulness helps us do things like regulate our emotions, right?
383
Gives us healthy alternative coping strategies to things like substance use or cutting.
384
And then the other cool thing is like this
385
Eastern yoga meditation stuff helps us discover who we are as people.
386
And so in my experience of working with BPD patients,
387
like they actually end up doing really well because we sort of do this weird like yogic find yourself inner journey thing,
388
and it actually works really well.
389
So in terms of statistics, this is really shocking.
390
But if you take patients who are hospitalized due to borderline personality disorder,
391
so these are people who are in such a crisis where they get hospitalized potentially involuntarily.
392
They get locked into a psychiatric ward.
393
Two years after hospitalization, 34 % of them are in remission.
394
Four years after hospitalization, 49 % of them are in remission.
395
Six years after hospitalization, 68 % of them are in remission.
396
And a decade after hospitalization, 86 % are in remission, which is kind of staggering, right?
397
So what we're saying is that you can be so sick that you get hospitalized.
398
And 10 years out, if we take 1 ,000 people with BPD and we just measure them 10 years out,
399
we're not really sure who engaged in what level of treatment, by the way.
400
But we just look at the statistics.
401
The odds are that 860 out of 1 ,000 people will be in remission.
402
Now, what does remission mean?
403
That means that not having significant symptoms for a two -year period, okay?
404
Only about 6 % of people who are in remission will have recurrences.
405
So are we kind of catching people on a good day, and that's why, like, these statistics are so good?
406
But actually, the prognosis for BPD is, like, actually really, really good, and we have very, very good treatments for it.
407
There's also a lot of evidence that shows that having stable relationships can rapidly improve BPD.
408
So all you need is really like one person who's kind of a stable source in your life to really improve things.
409
So one study that I looked at suggested
410
that there was somewhere around a 50 % remission rate at two years if you have a stable relationship.
411
But remember that you don't necessarily have to have a stable relationship.
412
People find remission in all kinds of other ways.
413
And when people sort of wonder about that, this is kind of my experience of it as a clinician,
414
is that remember that the key thing here is that you don't really know who you are, right?
415
So you sort of define yourself based on how other people treat you.
416
If you take people who are really confused about their identity, let's say a 21 -year -old who's been hospitalized,
417
if you look at the difference between a 21 -year -old and a 31 -year -old,
418
a lot has changed between a 21 -year -old and a 31 -year -old.
419
The first thing that's happened is their brain has fully matured.
420
And what we sort of know is that strong frontal lobe development mediates or reduces the symptoms of BPD.
421
So just literally your brain maturing can reduce the symptoms of BPD, just aging.
422
So every year that goes by, it could be better for you.
423
The other thing that tends to happen is we don't really know who we are at the age of 21.
424
And by the age of 31, a lot of us have it more figured out, right?
425
We sort of have figured out a little bit more about who we are.
426
And so as we sort of develop the sense of identity over time, as we sort of discover who we are,
427
hopefully we can find some good supportive relationships.
428
Hopefully our brain develops a little bit.
429
Hopefully we learn how to regulate our emotions.
430
Hopefully we actually engage in treatment like dialectical behavioral therapy or learn mindfulness or meditation.
431
As we kind of do all those things, BPD can actually get better.
432
So borderline personality disorder is one of the most misunderstood diagnoses out there.
433
I think it gets a really, really, really bad rap, especially because if you know people who have BPD,
434
it can be really hard to engage in relationships with them, whether they be family relationships,
435
platonic relationships, you know, all kinds of stuff, this can be hard.
436
But the good news is that with the right kind of treatment, and even maybe just getting older,
437
a lot of this stuff kind of resolves on its own.
438
We're not really sure about too much there, but we do know that the prognosis is actually pretty good.
439
So if you have BPD, if you suspect that you have BPD, I strongly encourage you to get evaluated,
440
get treatment, and most importantly, don't lose hope.

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर disorder, emotion, anger जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
