If Only We Had Known: A Family Guide to BPD

Medications

There is no single medication specifically developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder.

Many people with BPD are prescribed medications that address those symptoms.

Medications may include antidepressants, antipsychotics and antiepileptic drugs.

Although they are not a cure for BPD, medications like these can enhance the results of therapy.
