It is extremely unlikely that your daughter and my son (now 19) will change much or at all at least until their 40s. The disorder(s) does tend to lessen significantly at middle age.


That is mortifying

It is. To be clear, there are a will continue to be a lot of new treatments that just aren't FDA approved (as others have mentioned ECT, psylocybin, etc.).

It's thought (there are many studies) that between 50% and 80% of incarcerated males are ASPD. We ALL have something to gain from some sort of treatment for it.

I would try anything and bring my son anywhere for treatment, but he refuses to participate. Hopefully for the OP, his daughter will somehow be open to help, whatever that might be...

I would have thought BPD lasted lifelong, so if it eases up quite a bit around 40, assuming maybe even 30s, that’s much better than lifelong.

I’m having a brain fart so I’m gonna stick with the word lifelong although I’m pretty sure there’s a better word for it
