We are delighted that there is a new Guide at About.com's Borderline Personality Disorder site. Dr. Kristalyn Salters-Pedneault is a research associate of the National Center for PTSD Behavioral Science Division at the VA Boston Healthcare System, as well as an instructor of psychiatry at the Boston University School of Medicine.

She says, "The symptoms of BPD can be terrifying and confusing. Some people with BPD spend years thinking that they are 'crazy' or will never get better. Fortunately, there is hope. Every day, research is proving that people with BPD can have normal and fulfilling lives. I hope that the knowledge and experience I share here will empower readers with BPD to get the help they need and deserve."

We welcome Dr. Pedneault to the About.com Health Channel! If you have a diagnosis of BPD or are concerned or just curious about this condition, be sure to visit About Borderline Personality Disorder.
