Dear Dr.Gautham my sister is 24 year old. She is under treatment for last six years .various specialist treated her .But 4 of them daigonised her disease in different manner. first they told bi polar depression. then told its due to some chemical changes in brain. finally they are saying that its borderline personality disorder.hope you understood her symptoms now. is there any correct way of determination of the illness in psychiatric medicine. many of them applied ect on her for several time. a total of 25 ects in 6 years. from my experience with these doctors i understood that psychiatry is a medical branch which treats the patients with only 9 medicines.and from the patients i met in these hospitals i understood that the mental illness cant be cured completely. the episodes came once in a year for the life time. Am asking you for a complete advice. And my question is Wat is the solution for the complete curing of BPD . Pleas help me.
Let me explain clearly. She is having borderline personality. Diagnosis is bipolar disorder with depression. In which chemical changes as neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin levels changes. Borderline is a type of personality. It's not a disease. Treatment is valproate she has to take for. Go side by side counselling to prevent relapsing. So don't worry.  Hope my suggestions helpful and thankful to you. Take care. Don't forget to give ratings.
