Borderline Personality Disorder: How I Saved My Father from the Depths of BPD

Do you have a family member or loved one that has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, or you maybe SUSPECT that they have it?

This book offers a first-hand account of meaningful, informative and incisive information about BPD, a debilitating mental illness for those unlucky enough to develop it. While it must be understood that I can only talk from my own experiences, and everyone is different and not everyone will respond the same as my dad ultimately did, I am convinced that I can offer feasible and workable solutions to many of my readers with regard to coping with this ailment since I spent several years walking hand-in–hand with my father, who was a victim, ushering him along the road to recovery.

I have personally gone through the entire stretch of the ‘coping’ journey to bring back my dad from the shackles of this horrific illness and set him free. Every word that you read in this book is a glimpse at my long and arduous journey to hell and back. But I’m pleased to say, this is a book with a sucsessful ending!

Do you really know what BPD is? What causes it? How it is diagnosed and what are the therapy actions? What the sufferer goes through and why? If you are contemplating taking care of a loved one with BPD – my experiences would surely be a constant guide, and can be referred to whenever you have the need for it.

What you read in this book are not assumptions and guesses as to the therapy for the patient or the process of coping for the caretaker. It is my life growing up with my father, both as my best friend and sometimes enemy, how I decided to become his caretaker later in life, and how I, along with his wonderful psychiatrist, was able to bring him back to near “normal” mental health after a long, horrific journey.

In this all-revealing, deeply penetrating book you will get to know some aspects of the illness that you may not find anywhere else. What are the myths about BPD? What are the first signs I saw in Dad which made me feel that it is time to see a doctor? (fact is, it was a very late decision!) …What were the disturbing facts about his childhood that in later years likely caused him this devastating illness? What was his path to recovery like?

And finally, I talk about the pain that both of us endured on the path to recovery.

If you suspect Borderline Personality Disorder is affecting a loved one in your life, this is a book you will want in your arsenal.
