Target Audience

This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other health care professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.

Session Summary

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a commonly encountered personality disorder in inpatient and community mental health care settings. Psychotropic medications are frequently used to treat symptoms such as mood instability, impulsivity, and brief psychotic episodes; polypharmacy is common in this population. However, there is a lack of clear evidence supporting the use of these medications and no medications are FDA approved for the treatment of BPD. Pharmacists that work with patients living with borderline personality disorder are in a key position to assess the appropriateness of pharmacologic treatment. This session is designed to provide education on the evidence for pharmacologic treatment of BPD, along with providing a guide to rational de-prescribing in these patients.
