More Americans suffer from borderline personality disorder than either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Leonard talks to Dr. Frank Yeomans, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the Weill Medical College, patient Christina Knight, and Kiera Van Gelder, an individual recovering from BPD.

I could go on for a long time telling you what listening to this meant to me but will suffice it to say thank you.

Thankyou for helping raise an awareness to bordline personality disorder. The sooner it is viewed as an approachable and treatable disorder the sooner many lives will be in peace. I, as a sister who loves her BPD sister but is continually hurt by her, would love to hear interviews that also go into the dynamics that BPD's bring into the lives of those near and dear to them.
Thank you soooo much for this interview.
I have Bipolar and Borderline Traits and it is difficult to find out information about this.
I have never listened to New York Public Radio before, but I have probably sent 50 people to your web site, to listen to this segment from Leonard Lopates show, since it was recommended to me.
I don't have time to browse thru, to see what other gems you have produced, but this segment alone will almost certainly save many lives.
Keep up the good work!
