What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
9. Medication
There is as yet no medication that can treat borderline personality disorder directly. However, medication is available that will help to ease the severity of the patient’s symptoms. Medication may also be used to help treat any other mental health conditions the patient might have.
The types of medication used typically include antipsychotics and antidepressant. Sedatives will also sometimes be needed in the more severe cases. It may also be necessary to have the patient hospitalized where they will be able to receive more intensive care. This may also be deemed necessary for the safety of the patient, and other people.
