New BPD diagnosis

[gretchen48036]

We were just told that my daughter most likely has BPD. They will not "test" her until she is 18 but she exhibits the traits. While its a relief to get a diagnosis its daunting. Any MUST read recommendations?

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi gretchen48036 and welcome — glad you reached out to us while you’re dealing with the news about your daughter.

A great book to start with is Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents. That link is in our Book Review section, so do check out some other titles there if you like.

How old is your daughter? And how is she taking the news?

Keep us in the loop on how you and your family are doing. Glad you found us;
