Can you have borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder?
We hypothesized that (a) dissociative identity disorder commonly co-occurs with borderline personality disorder and vice versa, and (b) individuals who meet criteria for both disorders have more comorbidity and trauma than individuals who meet criteria for only 1 disorder.
What disorder is most common with borderline personality disorder?
Eating disorders. Bipolar disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Can CBD help BPD?
Extensive expression of CB1 and CB2 receptors of the ECS has been found in limbic regions and the hypothalamus. This opens new windows of opportunity for treatment with cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) as no other pharmacological treatment has shown long-lasting improvement in the BPD population to date.
What happens if someone with BPD takes antidepressants?
A number of research studies have demonstrated that certain types of antidepressants are effective in treating specific symptoms of BPD. For example, SSRIs can reduce emotional instability, impulsivity, self-harm behaviors, and anger. MAOIs have also been shown to effectively treat emotional instability.
What is the hardest mental illness to recover from?
Borderline personality disorder has historically been viewed as difficult to treat.
Are dissociative symptoms associated with stress in borderline personality disorder (BPD)?
Stiglmayr CE, Ebner-Priemer UW, Bretz J, Behm R, Mohse M, Lammers CH, Bohus M: Dissociative symptoms are positively related to stress in borderline personality disorder. Acta Psychiatr Scand 2008, 117 (2):139–147.
What is emotional dysregulation in borderline personality disorder?
Emotion dysregulation is a core feature of chronic complex dissociative disorders (DD), as it is for borderline personality disorder (BPD).
What is the most common form of dissociative disorder?
Chronic complex DD include dissociative identity disorder (DID) and the most common form of dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS, type 1), now known as Other Specified Dissociative Disorders (OSDD, type 1).
Trauma experts conceptualize borderline symptoms as often being trauma based, as are chronic complex DD. We review the preliminary research that compares DD to BPD in the hopes that this will stimulate additional comparative research. Emotion dysregulation may be a mechanism linking trauma to dissociation.
