Untreated BPD
|
Often I am told that BPD is a curable illness of which with treatment people do recover. I find a hard time believing this as I continue to struggle immensely with the disorder. After much research I have found some reasons why some have a higher possibility of recovery and getting better to which they can live happier and healthier lives. There are numerous factors which play a role in whether a person can have a better chance at recovery, these factors are economical, psychological, emotional, developmental, and more.
· Those who had an earlier onset of symptoms or a later onset .
· The longer the chronic symptoms persist then the more likely that they will continue to persist.
· The more serious the symptoms they the less likely they will remit without years and years of constant care.
· Those with other accompanying disorders such as substance abuse or depression have greater difficulty in the recovery process.
· The more someone experiences the symptom of impulsivity and compulsive behaviors then the more difficult treatment will be.
· Those with poor and instable relationships with their parents or absence of a parent are also in for a greater battle.
· Those who receive disability payments for their BPD or other mental illness are less likely to recover fully than those who have their own personal income.
Other factors that get in the way of treatment
· Poverty
· Hopelessness
· jealousy
· physical illness
· Trauma and loss
· Treatment unavailable
· lack of faith
Untreated BPD is dangerous as Many Borderlines feel chronic feelings of worthlessness and therefore have recurrent suicidal ideations , If there illness is left untreated then the lifespan of many of these individuals is
Very short and prognosis is not very good at all. Treatment is a lifelong process that requires patience and a strong support system. We are not a patient bunch and if we are not treated then we can become impulsive and explosive . There is hope for the BPD patient if they have the proper care and understanding but for those unfortunate souls who have either no access to treatment or who have lost hope in getting better then the future is a dark and lonely place.
