Borderline Personality Disorder

May is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness month, and while many people may believe that their lives are not touched by this disorder, the chances are even higher that you know someone who is either diagnosed or undiagnosed with borderline personality disorder, also known as BPD. This episode aims to reduce stigma and raise awareness on a painful condition that people can recover from when they are able to recognize symptoms and receive proper treatment.
