I am in remission. I have comorbidity. But rest and supportive parents, I think, has a lot to do with it.

I believe I have had BPD and am now in remission (though I didn’t know that was even a thing until now). These are the four factors I would say helped me: 1) becoming a Christian 30 years ago (about half of my symptoms that I later learned aligned with BPD disappeared practically overnight). 2) no substance abuse. 3) a steady and fulfilling career. 4) willingness to be real with myself and work on growing a little more every day. I’m 59 now and joyful, peaceful, and happy.

I like how he says clients instead of patients

I never knew it could go into remission. Wow. Great short again. Thanks Dr G😊💜💜

This one had a very hopeful tone-and was very interesting as usual. Thanks Dr. Grande.

Clean life, stability, purpose, support and love.

I grew out of it. I was only bp during my late teens-20’s. I’m now 53 and have been very happy, with no issues, for over 20 years now.

I have all of the factors that would make remission difficult. I think I am doing ok at the minute. For me stopping drinking was the first chance I had of allowing me to try to manage and understand my BPD. Substance abuse and BPD are a nightmare together, people dont realise how destructive this combination is.

Not this list being almost the inverse of my situation 😭

Don’t give up, remember this is just about likelihood, not a definite prediction. Anyone has a chance of getting better. In case you struggle with substance abuse, I’d recommend to deal with treating that first though. Unless you get out of that, the other aspects can’t really improve either. Lots of support!

Even if you don't go into remission most people with Borderline improve as they get older.

I go in and out of remission. However, I have complex PTSD, anxiety, ADHD & have struggled with substance abuse in the past. So, I suppose that makes sense. It sucks though. I keep thinking finally my life is back to normal, and then, something throws everything right back off track.

I have a history of severe childhood abuse and neglect, abusive romantic relationships, have been to mental institutions or rehabs damn near a dozen times, and also have been diagnosed with unspecified bipolar disorder w/ rapid cycling, ADD, dysthymia w/ episodes of major depression, GAD, CPTSD, and am recovered from Bulimia, drug addiction, and alcoholism. I’ve also struggled immensely with panic attacks. I first got diagnosed with BPD at 15 and am 24 now. I’m not on meds, have stable relationships, work full time, go to college… idk if I’m in remission, but I’m doing damn good. A lot is possible if you believe and do the necessary work!

I mean if the person survives the suicide attempts hopefully they can reach peace later in life. Having a supportive family is everything.

Fantastic information, as usual. Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤

I’ve been diagnosed with ‘aspects of bpd’ along with cptsd so I guess that’s me screwed for remission 😆 Apparently my insight is good though so one can always hope and keep determined.

The only thing I didn't have on the list was hospitalization. I relapse all the time. At least I stay clean and dry!

Its so important to try and maintain stability

When i first saw this my initial reaction was "well, i have a lot of that in my past, and outside of my control, so it must be hopeless. But like, then i took a step back, and decided to try and look at things instead of comments on my past, but things i could maybe try to do in the future, and it was actually really helpful.

My cousin has comorbidities, light case of trauma, and her parents are divorced (though she has a loving, if complex, relationship with them) She's been doing DBT for a number of years (several rounds of therapy were appropriate for her, and were apparently expected to be neccesary) She has shown IMMENSE improvement, if not remission (yet), and keeps getting gradually better, the longer she works on her mental health. Just as a hopeful note, for those who sadly don't have a GREAT prognosis on paper as per dr grandes list here... Still try your very best! There is still massive hope for you!

Awesome short. Many thanks!

I was diagnosed with Borderline. Actually it was PTSD and Autism.

Thank-you for sharing this.

Very helpful to check if it’s not ADHD / ASD

Thank you. I heard the ones that get sober in AA get better too.

Oh damn I'm never getting better

It’s some interesting survey data but probably not a guaranteed predictor of any one individuals recovery so don’t give up just yet. There might be another survey that indicates persistence and determination correlate which a greater chance for recovery x

Im in remission but still struggling with depression and anxiety

Honestly wasn't aware that it could subside

So... no trauma, a healthy environment, positive supports, having stability, safety, and love, being privileged, not being abused or mentally ill, and society accepting rather than rejecting you means a higher chance of stable, good mental health. What was the point of this study?

These are really interesting things to know... thank you dr. Grande

Have no comorbidity like ptsd, drug abuse etc. and have work to do. ETC. If you want borderline (BPD) to go into remission.

all those comorbidities are contributing factors. Grow up with wonderful parents and have no trauma etc etc …. less likely they had borderline. I’d like to see the power / methodologies of this study

It seems like most people who have Borderline have PTSD and other issues.

I watched a video that claimed there was no such thing as BPD. The thesis was that those who recovered really had PTSD and those that didn’t had NPD. The narrator calls himself HG TUDOR(pseudonym) and claims to be diagnosed with narcissism and psychopathy. He puts out videos basically spilling the beans about narcissistshow to recognize them and avoid being hurt

Thanks doc

“Strongest predictor” in the parlance would be “most robust predictor,” right?

Wow I have borderline and none of those things apply to me. Yikes lol

It sounds like their Bpd just isn't that bad.

Lol you can have remission as long as you don't have any of the things that cause it.

Yeah, I don't have most of those

Welp. I’m screwed lol.

So basically the best way to treat BPD is to just not have it and if you do, you're kinda screwed. Thanks, Doc.

I guess there is no cure for me

I can attest to this

There are ways to talk to people with borderline. They also might have autism and undiagnosed at that or something wrong with their brain like. I don't know their frontal lobes like me

So basically, a very slim percentage of BPD clients based on these factors? Thats my interpretation of this data lol

I think PMDD looks like BPD...

So I'm screwed

So, basically not me. 🤓

So in other words it's a response to environmental stressors not a "mental illness".

It's most certainly is a mental condition. But environment is the trigger that can get pulled over and over. Stress and interpersonal relationships are the main components in regards to management, I believe.

@@age93 rubbish. If you knew much about psychology and psychiatry as I do you'd know most "disorders / mental illness" are trauma responses and personality types. Even many schizophrenics have no hallucinations when given o2 when sleeping, in other words they have a physical condition ( sleep apnea), not a "mental illness. " Studies gave found psych drugs do not work except by tranquilizing all emotions and manufacturers admit they don't actually know how psych drugs affect the brain. But it's a big profitable industry so....

those are all the OPPOSITE of me 😅

Make sure that the person suffering BPD doesn't get into a managerial position! It heightens their Narcissism and delays/retards remission. Plus everyone under their supervision suffers.
