HOW DO YOU TREAT THE COMBINATION OF ADHD AND BPD? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness HOW DO YOU TREAT THE COMBINATION OF ADHD AND BPD? Question: How do you treat the combination of ADHD and BPD?What would be the medical treatment for this combination? Dr. Heller’s Answer: They are separate conditions requiring individual treatment, just as high blood pressure and diabetes require treatment for each disorder.My medical BPD treatment approach is to use Prozac (sometimes in combination with Tegretol) to stop the unprovoked mood swings, the chronic anger, emptiness, boredom and rejection sensitivity. I prescribe as needed medications: Haldol 2mg / Tegretol 200mg / Risperdal 3mg as needed for dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair).While the pure hyperactive/impulsive type of ADHD can respond in some individuals to Wellbutrin, the main treatment is with psychostimulants. They include methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, and others) and dexamphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine).Both disorders require retraining the brain as well. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?

HOW CAN I OVERCOME MY MOTHER AND EX-HUSBAND? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness HOW CAN I OVERCOME MY MOTHER AND EX-HUSBAND? Question: How does one heal from a devastating childhood to a nightmare of a marriage? I am a 36 year old woman that has now come into realization that I have not lived under normal circumstances. I am a loving person that now trusts no one! I have three beautiful daughters and I wanted every one. I have been despised by my mother and considered stupid for having my children, to the point that my mother not only resents the girls, but she would love nothing more than for me to lose my daughters. I am battling with a psychopathic ex-husband that has teamed up with my mother in order for me to lose my babies.I am a college student trying to better myself, although I have been told that it is not possible to do this with three children. If there is any suggestion I will be grateful. Furthermore, I may not be a doctor, but I can read and this is what these people are.Thank you for your time. Dr. Heller’s Answer: There are 5 things that should be done…1) See a good therapist ASAP! This will help in many ways, the most important ones are determining what is real and what isnt and learning how to cope with your situation. The therapist may be of assistance in your legal problems as well.2) Make sure you have a good lawyer. Getting a 2nd opinion may be a wise choice.3) Get treated medically for depression or anything on my screening test – http://pks.947.myftpupload.com/screen.htm4) Get Zig Ziglars “How to Stay Motivated” series and listen, listen, listen. Hes the best coach you could ask for. 1-800-527-9000.5) Read some important books about mental health, success and spirituality. I highly recommend:

HOW CAN I BE DIAGNOSED WITH BPD AT 52? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness HOW CAN I BE DIAGNOSED WITH BPD AT 52? Question: But I am 52 years old! How the hell can I now be diagnosed as having this awful……disease!!!?I have in the last six years been told that I have depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Six months ago I had a new doctor who has given me this new title, of which I am not at all impressed. I am trying to take in new information but I am finding it so difficult. I must add that my new psychiatrist is very nice and caring(I hope).Please–any help would be great. Dr. Heller’s Answer: In my practice, its not unusual for someone to be diagnosed for the first time in their 70’s. Although symptoms change somewhat over time, the BPD persists throughout life and starts at puberty. Fortunately the right medications can have a huge impact right away and give you a chance at the kind of life youve wanted. Theres a great deal of information in my websites BPD section at: http://pks.947.myftpupload.com/bpd.htm.Remember that the BPD is a medical problem that is absolutely NOT your fault. It is also NOT a character disorder. In the strongest terms possible I recommend listening to Zig Ziglars “How to Stay Motivated” series. It has been my experience that borderlines who listen to Zig Ziglar the most do the best. It is expensive but absolutely priceless. It can be ordered at 1-800-525-9000. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?

Did Petit Mal Seizures Cause My Panic? * Dr. Leland Heller is a family physician who has treated thousands of patients with the Borderline Personality Disorder.

DID PETIT MAL SEIZURES CA– USE MY PANIC? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness DID PETIT MAL SEIZURES CA– USE MY PANIC? Question: When I was 8-10 yrs. old, I was diagnosed with petit mal (typical). I took medication and then eventually grew out of it. I no longer have the seizures. I’m 24 years old and started having anxiety and panic attacks. I’m scared I might go into depression or turn into a schizophrenic. Does this have anything to do with me having epilepsy before? What are my chances of getting my seizures again? Who do I go to seek help? I’m currently going through counseling for my panic attacks. Do I need to see a neurologist?Thank you for taking the time to read my question. Dr. Heller’s Answer: First of all you wont “turn schizophrenic.” Its also unlikely that youll get petit mal seizures again.Panic is likely a form of epilepsy (nerve cells firing inappropriately and out of control), so you might be more susceptible.Your personal physician or a psychiatrist can treat you medically for your panic attacks. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?

CAN ZOLOFT CA– USE A DIVORCE? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness CAN ZOLOFT CA– USE A DIVORCE? Question: We’ve had a great marriage. Now on Zoloft. She wants a divorce. Can Zoloft change the way a person feels for another and help the depression? Dr. Heller’s Answer: There are many possibilities. She could have Bipolar Disorder aggravated by the Zoloft with mania. She could have BPD (Borderline Disorder)dysphoria triggered by worsening of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder. She may believe the marriage wasnt good for a long time and getting over the depression gave her the energy to act on her feelings.
