[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 271540, member: 1550"] The first thing I'd do is be suspcious of a personality disorder diagnosis. Sorry, but it's come out of the blue. Secondly, I would just see a good Psychiatrist to help her. No matter what label she gets, she is the same person she was before this diagnosis and I don't think she needs a "special" psychiatrist or psychologist. She will likely have ten different opinions on what is wrong with her in her lifetime. And with the right medications, she will do better and her diagnosis. will change. I think the best kind of therapy for any unglued teen or adult is "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy." It deals with the actual problems and how to see them a different way and deal with them in a total different manner. It's the only therapy, in thirty years of trying mostly useless therapists that actually did permanant good for me. I know I have a mood disorder. I've been told, at various times in my life, that I had other things too and then the next professional would say, "That's outrageous." Pffffffffffft. I deal with what I know and can feel and can change and no longer really care about the label. If you want to see how CBT works, buy "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns. It can be adapted for young adults and teens. I've seen RTCs with foster kids. in my opinion they aren't the best diagnostic places. Go with your gut and check into CBT :) Try to have a better day.
