Hello, You are very correct when you say "awareness and understanding of mental illness in our country is dismal." However all efforts must be made to destigmatize mental illness or persons suffering from  mentally illness, and an inclusionary approach of bringing them into mainstream of society. Coming back to your query about your health issues, I would like to say that Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and difficult disorder to treat and a higher degree of expertise and experience is required by a clinician to help persons suffering from BPD, and comirbid mental health issues. Depressive disorder, anxiety symptoms can commonly co-occur with BPD, and would require specific treatment. Best course of action in treatment of BPD is combination of psychological intervention with medication as per profile of BPD. No two cases of BPD are same and there are subtle differences in presentation and management approaches which will be suitable for each client. Yes, the cost of treatment is significant but if that is a major concern you may choose a government set up for treatment. Hope I have answered most of your queries. Best wishes for your health and future.

Hello,  I  think along with those medication and treatment You require some counselling  sessions,  which would help you in sharing your feelings and emotions you undergo and by that you might get a  relaxation felling and solution to it . Because once you pour it out to someone , you normally get a clarity and hence you can get better  ideas to live your life cheerful with a great amount of peace in it.

Hi..... Take steps to control stress, to increase your resilience and boost your self-esteem. Reach out to family and friends, especially in times of crisis, to help you weather rough spells. Get treatment at the earliest sign of a problem to help prevent depression from worsening. Consider getting long-term maintenance treatment to help prevent a relapse of symptoms.....
