Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions people most often ask about borderline personality disorder, its symptoms, and treatment.
Can BPD be treated successfully?
Yes. With appropriate psychological therapy, psychiatric support, and ongoing care, many people with BPD learn effective strategies to manage emotions, relationships, and daily challenges.
Is Borderline Personality Disorder the same as bipolar disorder?
No. Although both conditions can involve mood changes, they are different. Bipolar disorder mainly involves episodes of mood elevation and depression, while BPD is often associated with difficulties regulating emotions, relationships, and self-image.
What is the best therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is one of the most recognised therapies for BPD. Your clinician may recommend DBT, CBT, or other evidence-based approaches depending on your circumstances.
Can I receive BPD treatment through telehealth in Australia?
Yes. HelloDoc provides secure telehealth consultations for people across Australia, including those living in regional and rural areas.
Do I need a GP referral to see a psychiatrist for BPD?
A GP referral is generally required for Medicare rebates and psychiatric appointments. Your GP can help begin the referral process.
Can medication treat Borderline Personality Disorder?
Medication does not directly cure BPD, but psychiatrists may recommend medication to help manage specific symptoms or co-occurring conditions where clinically appropriate.
Can HelloDoc help if I have already been diagnosed with BPD?
Yes. HelloDoc can support ongoing management, treatment reviews, and continued mental health care depending on your individual needs.
