Title: Bpd diagnosis Post by: wundress on December 03, 2015, 02:39:54 PM My wife had her psych appointment today. We were lucky to see a very lovely lady who listened to both of us and asked a lot of questions. She agrees it is BPD and has prescribed quetiapine. Has anyone else had a significant other on this?

I haven't heard of the drug unfortunately. But when mine was on "Serdep", she didn't rage for 12 months, so I do believe in drugs to maintain the symptoms. Your post is quite rare for these parts. Diagnoses are not frequent and neither is willingness to accept them. How did your wife respond to this?

Her style was completely refreshing. My wife didn't want to hear the diagnosis so she gave permission to the psych for us to have an informal chat. That's when the psych told me she agreed with me that she fits BPD symptoms and she will write to our gp to say the same. Afterwards I told my wife what was said and she accepts the diagnosis and will work with it. She is even excited to get her new meds!
