Even when the funnel cloud is whirling away somewhere else, I still feel an overwhelming sadness that I can't help more, and that despite my best effects the chaos in their lives will continue, and maybe ruin their career and relationships.Here are three pdf articles from new research studies that actually give Non's some hope that BPD might be controllable or at least the chaos reduced. The pdf''s can be downloaded.It also turns out the fish oil supplements prevent adolescents from developing schizophrenia. The fatty acids actually worked on my BPD and the chaos stopped. Those findings might help a loved one. I think I've read every book written on borderlines, or at least most of them.
The EPA is the important number when calculating the amount to take. Use the EPA as a guideline for how many pills to take per day. Arctic Pure Ultra Potency Omega 3 Fish Oil 2 pills is 1700 mg of fish oil which contains 900 mg of EPA. It's doubly sad that someone with BPD would choose to live in the chaos rather than taking a simple supplement with no side effects.
Hope these articles help someone else. This book helps.I think the biggest benefit from reading these is to remind myself that I have to remain dispassionate while my BPD close family member lives in chaos. Amazon kills the web addresses so type into Google the following titles and open the link. I've seen many positive results following the use of these supplements. That's fine. Just read the summary of the research I've posted.
You can then download the full article pdf file. Now the papers are starting to come out supporting that.
Docosahexaenoic Acid DHA is another Omega 3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oil. It can be ordered from the Source Naturals Catalog, or use any good quality fish oil as long as the supplement level is 900 mg or more of EPA.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Treatment of Women with Borderline Personality DisorderDiminished Implusivity in Older Patients with Borderline Personality DisorderOmega-3 Fish Oils Tested as Preventative Approach to Schizophrenia, with Positive ResultsAlmost all of the studies are based on using 1 gram or more of Omega 3 which is Ethyl Eicosapentaenoic Acid (E-EPA). Sometimes the chaos and negativity gets directed at me.
I hope they help others, but it's going to take years and years before the psych community adopts their use. I know some people reading this review won't believe what I just said.
Then they decided they didn't need them because there was nothing wrong and stopped taking them. Schizophrenia, BPD, bi-polar, chronic depression, dyslexia, and ADD are all related so if fish oil helps dyslexia, ADD and chronic depression, which it does, there's strong probability it should help BPD and Schizophrenia.
There is even a special section for family and friends to help them understand and deal with their BPD loved one. This book doesn't overwhelm you with a lot of jargon or "psycobable", just honest and useful information written by someone who obviously cares about the subject. This is sort of a "primer" on BPD that anyone newly diagnosed (or a family member) will find useful.
I am an intelligent person who has read many a book on BPD, and there were many times I was confused and didnt feel at all like someone was helping me to understand something. There were some things I got from this book that were helpful in the terms of understanding yourself better. Extremely complicated prose makes me wish I would have spent my money on something that would have been more helpful. Whatever good you get out of it is overshadowed by how hard it is trying to understand his medical jargon. The problem with this book is, it is very hard to understand the majority of the time. It is as though the only thing the author wanted to demystify was the title.
Very informative, though. I liked this book, but after having read it and Bipolar Disorder Demystified together, it wasn't quite as good.
Early in my own recovery, I spoke on the same platform with him, and was delighted to have my questions answered about what actually happens to the brain with this disorder. I appreciate that he is personally motivated to treat those with BPD, and does so successfully in his personal practice. Moreover, he was the first clinician or researcher to confirm my greatest hope: that I could actually change my brain (back to normal) with some hard therapeutic work.Tami Green[.]. I highly recommend Dr. Friedel's book.
