I'm wondering how someone goes about finding a good fit for treatment for BPD. I have a friend in the states who has been quite literally turned away because of the diagnosis, and has even shown me pictures/online statements showing facilities that refuse treatment for cluster B illness.
And I'm sure most are aware of all the literature in book shops and the like for "how to survive living with a BPD [partner, friend, family member etc]", ironically found in the self-help sections, greatly overshadowing any books for how BPD patients might help themselves.
What's with the stigma against this particular diagnosis in general anyways? They can certainly be emotionally unruly but I've seldom met someone with the diagnosis who had ill intentions.
