Stigma surrounding BPD has got to stop, it causes people living with BPD more harm.

Updated: Jul 20, 2019

Stigma surrounding Borderline Personality Disorders (BPD) has got to stop, it causes people living with BPD more harm. A way to stop stigma is by understanding.


"The most challenging stigma I’ve faced and would like to fight is that ‘those with BPD are attention-seekers’. People with BPD are most misunderstood through this idea and it causes a lot of harm to the individual when that perception is held, as it can affect their care, treatment and support received."

 

Note from PDV!: Faye passed away just two months after published it. You can read about her death [here].
