Statement of
Need |
Borderline
Personality Disorder (BPD) is a
severe and generally chronic
disorder and people who suffer from
it are underserved. Friends and
families are often bewildered and do
not know how to help. Treatment
programs for those with BPD need to
be more readily available. Families
need access to programs such as
those already developed for several
other mental illnesses. BPD presents
patients, their families and
researchers with multiple
challenges. These complex challenges
will be addressed in order to inform
mental health professionals,
families, and consumers of the most
current diagnostic and treatment
options available, and other issues
of current interest to those
affected by the disorder. |
