Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder can involve psychological therapy to assist with developing coping skills and strategies to minimise the impact of stressors, build and maintain healthy relationships, and improve wellbeing and functioning. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an effective, well-researched form of psychological treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. DBT focuses on distress tolerance and building up effective coping skills. Therapy can be individual, group, in person or online.
Medical treatment is sometimes used alongside psychological therapy, which may involve medication prescribed by your GP or psychiatrist to help manage anxiety or mood difficulties.
