I just read this, what do people think of it? I've read fMRI's aren't really that accurate, but this study says that people with BPD are physically unable to regulate emotions.

I totally believe that easy arousal and slow return to baseline are biological in nature.
But isn't there some question about whether brain scans measure the activity rather than the cause of the activity?
In either case, I don't think it means it's hopeless. It just means that therapy would be aimed at targeting those functions and medications would be aimed at providing some relief.
Which is how it *should* be now. I know there are judgmental and negative practitioners. But I think there's enough knowledge out there that they ought to be decreasing in number.

If it's biological shouldn't there be a way to "fix it" without meds like surgery or something else? Just throwing this out there. And always thought just a personality disorder under control by the individual. Phillipa
