But one thing Palaniyappan and other mental health professionals have noticed is that, unlike those with degenerative neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's, or Parkinson's,

schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, BPD (and many other personality disorders) tend not to respond to medications, although doctors do
sometimes prescribe antidepressants, atypical antipsychotic drugs, and mood stabilizers to BPD
patients.
