Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a common disorder characterized by mood instability, dissociation, and emotional dysregulation. While often dismissed as benign compared to other diagnoses and often misdiagnosed, BPD can cause significant functional impairments, often in tandem with one or more psychiatric comorbidities. More seriously, BPD is robustly associated with suicidality. To make matter worse, no medication is approved for the treatment of BPD, yet nearly 50% of BPD patients take multiple psychotropics simultaneously, bringing the added burden of potential medication side effects.
In this seminar you’ll learn how to incorporate evidence-based strategies for testing and nutritional therapeutics into practice to help improve outcomes for your patients with BPD.
Help your patients move beyond symptom management to lasting wellness with practical, evidence-based nutritional protocols.
Dr. James Greenblatt, world renowned functional and nutritional psychiatrist with 30+ years of clinical experience, is transforming health care with functional and nutritional protocols for mental illness. Join him to explore various nutrition and supplement protocols for borderline personality disorder alongside fellow integrative expert, Leslie Korn, PhD.
Together, they present strategies for assessment, correction and nutritional repletion, treatment considerations for various diagnoses, how to analyze nutrition via lab testing, and more. You’ll leave this seminar equipped with new skills and concrete nutritional roadmaps that you can utilize immediately with your patients.
In this presentation, Dr. Greenblatt offers novel insights into the metabolic, neurological, hormonal, and genetic underpinnings of BPD, introducing a functional medicine model for effective treatment. He examines how omega-3 fatty acids, low dose lithium, L-theanine, and B vitamins impact presentation of this disorder, along with nutritional interventions to stabilize mood, reduce agitation and irritability, mitigate suicidality, and optimize brain and neurotransmitter production.
In this presentation, Dr. Korn explores innovations in Integrative Medicine for effective interventions for BPD, including a critique of the current diagnostic category, and the limitations (failures) of medications. She also presents an integrative approach using the BrainBow Blueprint, integrating dietary and nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine, somatic therapies, enhancing interpersonal rapport, and self-care adherence.
