you can watch the best parts of this
series at met circle comm hey youtube
i'm kyle Kittleson here with dr. Romani
we just finished filming a fantastic
series on med circle about borderline
personality disorder but dr. Romani I
was looking on YouTube and a lot of
people are out there claiming and
talking about having or experiencing a
BPD episode is that the right
terminology and what are they referring
to you know I mean I think that in the
world of mental health you know we have
sort of what we talk about in what we as
practitioners talk about and then
there's the experience of the people who
are living with the disorder so I don't
want it I don't ever want to like say oh
you're saying something that's incorrect
but I also think for people who are
watching it what it likely means is that
at a time of it because it's not an
episodic illness per se right so
borderline personality disorder like all
personality disorders there's a
constancy to it but there are times when
that that borderline personality style
can result in periods of like really
having a ramp up we are triggered and
that can be manifested by rage that
could be manifested by sense of almost
panic a person almost looking
disoriented so the people watching this
person will say what the heck is going
on is not this is not the person I was
just talking to right so the idea of an
episode is is really the sense of that
that the person with borderline
personality is going about their life
and then something a conflict a trigger
a stressor happens and then they have a
reaction to it we do know that
borderline personality is characterized
by often disproportionate reactions to
triggers and stimuli and the people who
have borderline personality be the first
to acknowledge it saying yeah that was
probably too much I just couldn't help
myself
they feel that they there's no other way
to respond in that moment and so that is
what is meant by the episode but the
episode itself is not a clinical term
right it's not something we track and
say oh we're looking for certain kinds
of episodes it's likely that a person
who's dysregulated like this will have a
moment an episode if you will where
they're hyper reacting but it's not an
episodic illness by
definition I want to ask our YouTube
audience to leave a comment in the
section of this video explaining whether
you yourself has experienced any of the
traits of borderline personality
disorder oh well we're just boring
Callie she said later Callie doesn't
want to read your comment but I do if
you've experienced anything personally
from BPD or if you know somebody who has
who has BPD and what they've experienced
I'd be interested to see what those
unique experiences look like now on
youtube you have addressed the nine
traits of borderline personality
disorder but you also gave our viewers
in our new series on med circle where
the DSM is taken how we diagnose and how
we meet that criteria now it's too long
to get into from youtube clip but can
you give them a little more information
on what we covered in the series as it
relates to the DSM so these newer models
that look at how the person's
personality functions both in the realm
of themselves and in how they interact
with other people and sort of where
their vulnerabilities are in terms of
their identity their own self Direction
empathy in their world and an intimacy
and then we also talked about the kinds
of traits associated with personality
disorders such as borderline personality
there are five traits that the DSM talks
about that are potentially problematic
if we have a higher level of those
traits and how those get in the way and
those specific patterns and borderline
personality related to negative
emotionality being impulsive or
disinhibited and in terms of being
antagonistic or somewhat hostile at
times
fantastic well dr. Ari of course went
into great detail but still kept it
simple so it's not confusing at med
