My mom does have BPD with a bit of psychopathy in there for good measure. I got out fine because my dad knew the problem early and divorced her as he believed that she was an threat to me and everyone's mental health.
Our society is experiencing a mental health crisis. Hopefully this results in an increase in clinical psychology and therapies that treat the cause rather than the symptoms.
It's shocking how many kids don't have a way out of a situation like yours. It's awesome that you escaped!
that treat the cause rather than the symptoms
Don't get your hopes up too high. This would be opposite of our current approach. Unless a false/arbitrary cause can be attached to the illness, like white supremacy or patriarchy.
Even though it's a radical opinion. People with personality disorders are still people. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could cure personality disorders? It would help our entire society have stronger families, more productive workplaces, and less crazy people in politics.
Mental health is being pushed because it creates new markets for the medical industry while opening the door for more authoritarianism.
It's not a mental health problem, it's a spiritual one. People have completely abandoned God and morality, so they take legal drugs to numb their vapid black empty souls.
Are you saying that Atheists commit crime to nurse their aching souls?
