Answer by Ganesh63
borderline personality disorder is not an organic mental illness but is manifested over a long period of time as a coping mechanism. Usually people with BPD have been abused as a child, often sexual abuse but not always. They are usually selfish, they like to split people , ie. .’ I really like you but I hate her’. They wil harm themselves sometimes to get attention or go into a mental health unit where it is often hard to get rid of them. They are often narcistic and sabotage relationships. BPD is hard to be cured of but it is possible with Cognitive Behaviour therapy similar treatments , however they take at least 6 months or even 2 years trained therapists. Th…ere will be more and more PDs as our government encourages disfuntional families to breed and neglect their children…mental health nurse

Question by uncleclover: How much counseling can one legally give without credentials?
I’ve read more than enough to understand human psychology as well as some fully-certified professionals, but I’ve never done so in an academic environment. Yet I love helping people. How far can I go to advertise myself as a “counselor” without actually being certified as one? Are there any tests I could take that could give me some sort of minimal credentials without having to take classes? I’m quite knowledgeable on the subject of psychology and would love being able to put my knowledge to use in helping others, but I don’t know how far I’d be allowed to take it under the law of the U.S. I’d gladly take classes and become “officially credentialed” if I could afford it, but barring that, what are my options?

Question by Native American ?: My professor called me a “liberal sweetheart.” What did she mean?
It was in one of my psychology courses. I was discussing how I believe there should be more “psychologists” employed in prisons/mental hospitals because I feel that 2 “psychiatrists” monitoring 200 inmates/patients is not enough since each inmate/patient is not getting enough individual attention and treatment. I expressed how we are sending “mentally ill” criminals through a revolving door by having our tax dollars go to medicate them enough to be “coherent” during trial, but then when the judge realizes that they’re still incoherent, they’re sent back to receive more drugs…etc. (and the process never ends) Therefore, taxpayers are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on medication/treatment, transportation, shelter, trials…etc. Why not spend the money on trained professionals who will offer more than drugs to rehabilitate…?
