BPD in Movies & Shows - The BPD Bunch S2E11

46 minutes

Xannie, Alex, Lena, Raf and Jay analyze various characters in movies and shows who are either canonically diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or are widely thought of by audiences as having BPD. The bunch share their thoughts on the accuracy of these portrayals, as well as their expected effect on BPD stigma. Thank you to our BPD Bestie Patrons who voted on this topic!!
