IS THERE ANYTHING TO READ FOR MY FAMILY? 
Question: Dr. Heller, My cognitive-behavioral therapist believes that I very well may suffer from BPD. I would like to ask you two questions, if I may: 1. Is there a book, video, etc., that is especially for children on the topic of a parent with BPD or on the topic, period? (I have a thirteen-year-old daughter that I would like to enlighten on the topic, as gently as possible.) 2. If I have been taking Prozac, (after Zoloft wearing off with time), for roughly a week, and am still having some very low lows/mood swings, is it possible that I may need to check in to a hospital for mental illnesses? (I have suffered with these symptoms all of my life and I am really starting to lose hope/give up…I have read motivational books, listened to various tapes, been to see multiple counselors, and done my best on my own. I have tried Paxil, Zoloft, and now Prozac, and, still, can not seem to get a grip on things for more than a few weeks at very most.) Thank you so much for any help at all that you can possibly give me, I truly appreciate it. Dr. Heller’s Answer: 1) “Stop Walking on Eggshells” is an option. My books and video were designed to be used by the individual with the BPD and their loved ones as it explains the disorder well. 2) The best thing that can happen for family members is to get the neurological symptoms under control and for them to understand that it’s an illness, not the person. When an individual with the BPD is feeling sweet, kind and loving – that’s who they are. The rest is a neurological disorder and poor psychological defenses. 3) Prozac alone is rarely enough. Making all the treatable diagnoses (http://pks.947.myftpupload.com/screen.htm) and treating them comprehensively is crucial as everything we have wrong with us makes everything else we have wrong worse. The Prozac/Tegretol combination is usually the most useful for the BPD.
