What advice or information can you offer to family members or loved ones of people with BPD that may instill some hope?
Treatment helps and many people get better over time. I would recommend connecting with a treatment team that can talk with you openly about whether or not BPD is the best explanation for your difficulties, and being in treatment with someone who feels confident talking about and treating BPD. For families, connecting to family support groups and learning about how to support your loved one with BPD has helped lots of people.
