I Love you, I Hate You But Don?t Go: Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder
It amazes me that 6-10 million Americans have been diagnosed with this isolating disorder. What's amazing about this is that not much is written about BPD much less talked about. Almost like there is a stigma attached to the very name. The name Borderline Personality Disorder originated in 1938 by Adolph Stern. He was describing a group of patients that didn't quite fit an existing diagnosis; patients that were classified as past the neurotic stage but not quite psychotic.
However these days this disorder is seen in a different way but the name BPD has stuck.BPD is relatively common, affecting 10-14% of the general population. Women commonly suffer from depression more often than men and the frequency of BPD in women is two to three times greater than men. Nearly 20% of psychiatric hospitalizations stem from BPD.While people that suffer with depression or bipolar disorder typically endure the same mood for several weeks at a time, a person with BPD can experience depression and...

Do You Think You Have Depression?
Do you have days where nothing can make you happy? You are not alone. I ignored my depressive thoughts about life for years. Unfortunately I didn't do anything to fix my situation until they became so dehabilitating that I had no choice.Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. In a given year, an estimated 22.1% of Americans aged 18 and older (about 1 in 5 adults) suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder. According to the 1998 United States Census population estimate, this figure translates to 44.3 million people! In addition, 4 of the 10 leading causes of disability in the U.S.
and other developed countries are mental disorders, with major depression being the leading cause of disability.It is estimated that depression alone will occur in approximately 18.8 million American adults, or about 9.5% of the United States population aged 18 or above. If you are a woman, you are twice as likely than a man (12% vs. 6.6%) to be affected by depression each...

FDA Approves New Therapy for Depression
On July 18, 2005, the FDA approved vagus nerve stimulation therapy as a treatment for chronic depression. This is the first ever FDA-approved long term treatment option for sufferers of treatment-resistant depression(TRD). Over four million Americans suffer from TRD. I was a study patient in the investigational clinical trial of vagus nerve stimulation and depression.Just over four years ago, I sat in the Psychiatrist's office at the study site (there were 20 different sites around the United States) that was conducting the investigational clinical trial for vagus nerve stimulation as a therapy for chronic or treatment-resistant depression. I had found about the study completely by accident.
I was desperate (not suicidal). I had gone through the merry-go-around of all available antidepressants/antidepressants combinations, ECT, psychotherapy, etc. I was tired and worn out from living in utter despair. I had never heard of the vagus nerve (it is the longest nerve in the body, averaging...

Electroboy Fights Stigma of Mental Illness
Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) May 11, 2006 -- For Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Vivien Leigh, bipolar disorder (or manic depression) has no doubt played a large role in their mythology and legend. But for Andy Behrman, author of "Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania," bipolar disorder is an illness he copes with on a daily basis, and not what defines him or his creative legacy."Electroboy" is Behrman's chronicle of his battle with bipolar disorder which nearly ended his life and led him into one of alcohol and drug abuse, sexual promiscuity and illegal activities including an art counterfeiting scheme which the New York media lapped up and for which he was ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison.Eliminating the stigma of mental illness is the goal of Behrmans one-man crusade, as he crisscrosses the country speaking to hundreds of mental health support groups, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurses, college audiences and book clubs. With more and more young people being diagnosed...

Are You Gambling With Your Life By Self Medicating?
Many people self-medicate because they feel they can't afford the medications that are commonly used to treat bipolar disorder; however, in nearly all cases there is aid available to those with mental illness who need reduced price or free medications.Others who are bipolar may self-medicate after years of medical care because of frustration stemming from the need to periodically readjust medications - they may feel that since the doctors can't seem to get it right, they can probably "experiment" with it just as well themselves. This is extremely dangerous, though, because even small changes in drugs like Lithium and other drugs can lead to serious episodes or worse. With Lithium, small changes in dosage can lead to hallucinations, severe illness and even death. For this reason Lithium use should always be carefully monitored by a doctor with regular blood tests. If you self medicate incorrectly, you risk your life and you risk your health.Others "self medicate" by using alcohol or drugs...
