This week on the pod Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling discuss Borderline Personality Disorder. Why? Because 75% of those diagnosed with BPD are women, and it is the most stigmatized mental illness out there...and according to the literature, the most painful. People who suffer from BPD live twenty years less than their counterparts, and the rate of suicidality is markedly increased. This is an illness attacking women in large numbers, and it has a body count.

So let's intervene and disrupt the narrative that women with BPD just, never get better.
