[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people with borderline personality disorder were abused as children and therefore very difficult to treat or cure. Bipolar disorder is a totally different thing. [/quote] Yes. To the untrained eye, the symptoms can be pretty similar. But bipolar disorder is very biological, having mostly to do with chemical imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain. Environmental events can *trigger* it or a manic/depressive episode, but you're not, for example, going to get bipolar simply from being raised in an invalidating or abusive environment. Borderline Personality Disorder, on the other hand, has a LOT more to do with environment- being raised in an invalidating environment, parental abandoment/neglect, abuse (especially sexual).
