Commentary

A complex subject


 

Thank you for your excellent article “Pharmacologic treatment of borderline personality disorder” (Current Psychiatry, August 2011, p. 30-40). This subject is very complex and poorly understood, both in primary diagnosis and the implications it has on other axis I conditions. Your attempts to educate and suggest possible treatment options are appreciated.
