@scotchvelo Prolonged observation has built mountains of evidence supporting a genetic component to this disorder. "It's genetic" is a phrase I hate.But since we can't examine this disorder precisely at the genetic level yet, we have to acknowledge A very significant detail-IT RUNS IN FAMILIES. No, it's not ALL genetic, it's just one part. And while it isn't a crystallized or perfected theory yet, it seems very much to be pointing in a good direction as far as diagnosis and treatment go.
When people state that they have no doubt that there's a biological basis for something like this, I really wish they'd provide some evidence. She says "you can't create a borderline without the biology." Ok, well what does that mean exactly? Is there a physical abnormality in the brain that makes one susceptible to BPD? Can you see it on a cat scan?
@scotchvelo BPD, Bipolar, Manic Depressive, Histrionic, ADHD, etc. -- even if these showed up on brain scans, they would not tell us anything about the genetic component.
In psychology, anecdotal evidence is taken more into consideration for the obvious reason that it's such an abstract science. Anecdotal evidence is far from the gold-standard for researchers in any field--as it indeed should be. Nonetheless, it will yield empirical data if approached with the right constraints and discipline.
Thank you Dr Linehan...listening to you was a breath of fresh air...an exciting whirlwind and as cliché as it sounds...a ray of light. For most of us who are suffering (and i use that word rarely, as true suffering can be torture, un-comprehendable pain, paralyzing fear, a totally blackness with no way out/void) And it comes in many forms in life...for us...its disorders...We already have an idea what can help us...i have spent many years analyzing myself...because there has been little known x
@RealityGrapple Hello...for me (a good family) i also agree with you...i am not like this now...i take my meds :)....but spent many years fighting my disorders and suicidal urges and it was making myself think of the devastating effect it would have on my family...i would make myself feel and see their pain...and also like you i believe in punishment....especially Buddhist...we would just have to keep coming back to experience this lesson...until we accomplished it...through fight and belief x
This is so important, Marsha. Thank you for your work. This presentation was very helpful. I enjoy your sense of humor together with your compassion. Having known someone (perhaps more than one person) who suffers in this way, I recognize how much people suffer who have this disability and how much there is a need for people to be educated, both for those who come alongside those who suffer and for those who have BPD. Excellent presentation.
