[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 437934, member: 1550"] Hi there. If I repeat anything, I'm sorry. I just got home and I'm tired. Emotional dysregulation in somebody over 18 is often referred to as borderline personality disorder (an inability to regulate emotions). Unlike bipolar, which causes mania and depression and some normal times usually for periods longer than ten minutes, this emotional dysregulation is constant and can happen in the middle of one sentence or one thought. Thus the person appears very unstable and irrational and needs a new type of therapy (VERY effective...I LOVE it) called Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. I wish they'd had this years ago. Although it was geared toward borderline personality disorder originally, I know of people using it for many types of problems. It is very comforting and makes a lot of sense...I like it better than cognitive behavioral therapy, which is also good. This, by the way, would be VERY effective for anger management. Here is a good explanation of dialectal behavioral therapy. It does require a commitment on the patient's part or it won't work. But NOTHING will work if the patient is not willing to try hard: [URL]http://bipolar.about.com/cs/menu_treat/a/aa031016.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
