BPD involves patterns of emotional instability, impulsive behavior, and intense, volatile relationships. While psychotherapy (especially DBT) is the primary treatment, medication can play an important role in managing specific symptoms like mood instability, impulsivity, and co-occurring depression or anxiety.
Signs & symptoms
- Intense fear of abandonment — real or perceived
- Unstable, intense relationships that swing between idealization and devaluation
- Rapidly shifting self-image or sense of identity
- Impulsive behaviors (spending, substance use, risky driving)
- Emotional instability — intense mood swings lasting hours to days
- Chronic feelings of emptiness
Our approach
We target specific symptom clusters with mood stabilizers, low-dose antipsychotics, or SSRIs — depending on whether mood instability, impulsivity, or anxiety is most prominent. Medication works best alongside therapy, and we coordinate with your therapist when applicable.
