eli5: What are the differences between Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorders?
In: Biology
Aside, from what was already said:
Bipolar disorder is a neurodegenerative disease that slowly destroys the brain. There are drugs that can slow it down but overall its course is progressive and many patients cannot function on their own in later stages.
Borderline personality disorder is treated by psychotherapy, drugs are often even contraindicated. Many people simply grow out of it or learn how to mitigate the symptoms so it doesnt affect their lives.
