QUESTION:
Dear Dr. Heller,
There's a girl at my school who is really weird - she dresses in all black and is mad all the time, what kind of disorder is this?
ANSWER:
She most likely has the borderline disorder (BPD). Every teen I've ever
encountered who dressed in black, had chronic anger, and wrote death poems had the
borderline disorder with chronic dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair).
She's suffering a great deal.
The
section on BPD
and the FAQ section in ask the doctor will
give you lots of information, including on how to help her.
