Re: TV commercial donation for BPD awareness?

[Guest guest]

Hi , I was thinking the same exact thing..Seems the only way anyone would

find out about BPD is if they, themself started therapy and the therapist made

them aware..That's what happen in my case...My younger sister started therapy

and was told it sounded like our Nada was BPD..I was thinking maybe an email on

the subject to CBS or maybe 20/20...I guess they could do the research and find

out what they needed to know to aire such a program...

Hmm. The video doesn't say what BPD *is*, or what it *does* to families. It

looks good but relays nothing that makes a viewer sit up and take notice.

It's a little disappointing. I'm still up for donating for a new PSA, one that

gives more information about BPD than just its name...
