Being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder might seem like the end of the world. But it doesn't have to be. Katie Reed is trying to change the conversation. After being diagnosed with BPD more than a decade ago, she was just glad to finally know why her mind worked the way it did. Since then, she's made it her mission to help educate and inform people about what people with BPD really deal with day to day. The goal of this podcast is to have open and honest discourse on the reality of mental illness and discuss serious issues with a positive attitude and a dose of humor.
Katie recalls how she was diagnosed with BPD and offers a trigger warning as she discusses her suicide attempts. A general discussion of the myths surrounding BPD and her own experiences. Finally, is there a link between PCOS and borderline? Does high testosterone = aggression = more severe personality disorders?

Monetizing Pain
In this episode of On the Borderline, host Katie Reed discusses how companies have found a way to exploit and monetize mental illness. She discusses a recent experience where a supposed invite to a mental health advocacy event turned into a sales pitch to join a dubious new MLM that claimed to have all the answers.
Have we reached a point in reducing mental health stigma where it's now okay to start marketing products to this demographic? Are we victimizing the most vulnerable? Is it okay to profit from pain?
Also being discussed:
Is religion like an MLM?
Does therapy have to be with a doctor?
Is mental health always tied to physical health?
