Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is often considered one of the most challenging mental health disorders to treat. Characterized by mood instability, dissociation, and emotional dysregulation, it is often misdiagnosed or dismissed as benign compared to other diagnoses, even though it is frequently associated with suicidality.
To make matters worse, no medication is approved for the treatment of BPD, yet nearly 50% of BPD patients take multiple psychotropics simultaneously, bringing the added burden of potential medication side effects.
Working with BPD patients for over 30 years, Dr. James Greenblatt has created a breakthrough clinical approach to care. His personalized, functional medicine model for treatment is designed to provide clinicians with an expanded toolkit to offer long-lasting improvement for patients with BPD. Join Dr. Greenblatt for this special webinar, where he will review his functional medicine approach to treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
What you will learn:
- How biological factors influence brain function – and, by extension, thought, mood, and behavior
- How psychological stressors trigger discrete changes in biology that can cause or entrench BPD
- The role of Essential Fatty Acids in nerve cell health and cell signaling pathways
- How low-dose, nutritional lithium – an essential mineral with vast neuroprotective properties – may be
utilized to prevent suicide, stabilize mood, and support balanced brain health - Strategies for biomedical testing to guide and inform personalized Functional interventions for BPD
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the strengths and limitations of traditional, symptom-drug polypharmacy models of BPD treatment
- Identify two or more biological factors associated with BPD
- Identify two or more psychiatric symptoms associated with a deficiency of Essential Fatty Acids
- Elucidate the clinical applications of nutritional (low dose) lithium for BPD
- Explain why biomedical analysis (lab testing) is critical for modern biopsychiatric paradigms of care
- Explain how a collaborative patient-provider relationship can optimize clinical outcomes
