BPD - Young People and Imagery
 Orygen researcher Dr Katherine Thompson examined the emotional responses of 20 young people with BPD and 20 young healthy people when exposed to images with positive, neutral and negative connotations. Findings were published in a recent issue of Psychiatry Research. Read more
What is 'Psychosocial Disability'?
 Some people living with BPD may experience psychosocial disability - issues that may arise from a mental health issue. One major example of this is the capacity to use working memory. This can affect a person's functioning in society and makes negotiating everyday life very challenging. Lack of organisational skills affects their ability to address housing needs, access income, make friends, shop, cook, and keep appointments. NDIS have developed a series of Snapshots describing their eligibility criteria. Read more

Survey - Private Hospital Admission Waiting Times
Hospital treatment is not a standard treatment for BPD, though it can be used for short-term care when really necessary, for example to deal with a serious crisis. If people with lived experience of BPD need to go to hospital, it should be to achieve specific goals that have been agreed upon with your doctor. The Private Mental Health Carer Consumer forum are conducting a brief survey to look into how long people wait to be admitted to a private hospital. This survey will not identify you. Survey
