Hello everyone, I care for my son who I strongly believe has BPD and what to learn as much as I can.

hi @outlander . I don't have that but still want to learn. I believe that there are things that can cross over the diagnosis in these sorts of forums

Alright crew! Let's kick off Question 1 🙂

Currently between 2% and 5% of Australians are affected by BPD at some stage in their lives, yet even with such a vast number of Australians living with BPD, misconception of the illness still exists across community.

Have you come across attitudes in the community that have been influenced by myths and stereotypes?
