Title: Treatment; how to introduce the topic? Post by: Erdus on November 23, 2019, 07:38:10 PM What is the best way to bring up the idea of treatment?
My daughter is in treatment for post-Partum depression, however, this is her self-diagnosis. She has never been diagnosed with BPD...but she meets the criteria. She is in crisis now. Title: Re: Treatment Post by: Harri on November 23, 2019, 07:48:19 PM Hi and welcome. :hug:
Can you describe what you mean by crisis? What sort of treatment is she getting for postpartum? Sorry, I know I am not answering your question, it is hard to say how to bring up treatment. Generally speaking we do not recommend telling a person we think they have BPD as there can be a lot of denial often due to the stigma involved with mental illness in general and BPD specifically. Can you describe her more troublesome behaviors? Title: Re: Treatment; how to introduce the topic? Post by: wendydarling on November 24, 2019, 06:22:21 AM Hi Edrus

*welcome* I'd like to join the others and welcome you to the family. I'm sorry for the circumstances that led you to the site here but I am glad that you decided to join us. My daughter is in treatment for post-Partum depression, however, this is her self-diagnosis. If she's in treatment a Dr would have to diagnose your D. Do you think that she has been misdiagnosed? How old is your D? Title: Re: Treatment; how to introduce the topic? Post by: Trusting-waiting on November 24, 2019, 11:04:23 PM Hi Erdus! I can relate as my dd is postpartum but the deeper issue is the bpd traits. I would recommend in addition to ppd support that she also (if possible) get DBT. It’s very useful for many emotional problems. Your dd doesn’t have to be labeIed to receive benefits from this therapy. I hope your daughter is moving toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Mine is really having a hard time believing that things can get better, that her perspective can change. Just 2 weeks into DBT. Hopeful while I trust and wait.
