Rose Skeeters, LPC, PN-1 sheds the light on the lesser known mental health condition known  Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

In this episode you will hear from Rose that people with BPD have a warped sense of reality and tend to be very sensitive- they feel things very deeply and are overly emotional. And there is an intense feeling of abandonment, emptiness and need to be validated.

Many of our teens experience depression, anxiety and other self harming behaviors that don't appear to be responding to traditional treatment because the underlying cause of BPD is not diagnosed in teenagers- often because of the stigma associated with it.  

Listen in as she talks her personal journey with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and how she learned that Borderline Personality Disorder was the “blanket” (the cause) of all of these other mental health issues.  

More importantly Rose shares that unlike other mental health issues, BPD is cureable because this is a temperament issue, not a brain chemical imbalance. 

You can listen to Rose’s podcast, Borderline to Beautiful for more information on Borderline Personality Disorder.
