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

 Research is being conducted on the differences between people with BPD who hear voices and those who don't. If you are interested in being involved, and can attend Spectrum or Swinburne University, please see flyers - BPD without Voices and BPD with Voices
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
