Question:
Dr. Heller, my daughter has BPD and also Epilepsie.  She uses carbamazepine for epilepsie.  Her psychiater won't give her medication for BPD. 

My question is: is there a connection between these 2, and is there medication in her case for Borderline? 

Thank you from Holland


Dr. Heller's Answer:
The problem with many epilepsy disorders is that we can't prove that diagnosis with current technology.  This is particularly true with the borderline disorder (BPD) and bipolar, which are located deep in the brain.  I believe strongly that the BPD is a form of epilepsy - nerve cells firing inappropriately and out of control.  There are studies showing abnormal EEG tests (brain waves) in those with the BPD.  They can be found at:
http://www.BiologicalUnhappiness.com/BPD_EEG.htm.

There is definitely scientific literature backing up the use of Prozac (fluoxetine), Tegretol (carbamazepine) and as needed Haldol (haloperidol) for the borderline disorder.  Some of these studies can be found at:
